Wow - what a great season we had at Toscana with 39 sales since January 1. Between the bike rides, hikes, golf games, dining at the Club, tennis matches, massages, parties and entertaining friends and family, it is amazing that anyone had time to purchase a home. But they did and I'm pleased to share the success the community has experienced so far.
