New Construction & Resale Homes
Cedar Grove is now approaching completion and is transitioning from an active new-construction community toward a primarily resale neighborhood.
As of 2026, only a very limited number of builder opportunities remain in the original Cedar Grove community. The original Cedar Grove sales center has closed, with remaining builder sales being handled from the nearby Strand at Cedar Grove sales center.
This means buyers are increasingly likely to compare completed resale homes rather than choose from a large inventory of to-be-built floor plans.
Resale properties may offer advantages such as established landscaping, private swimming pools, screened lanais, upgraded interiors or premium lake and preserve views that were added after the original construction.
