Levitt & Sons, Pinehurst (above), Doral (below), Summit Greens, Clermont, Florida, completed<br />
in 2006. Plans. Drawn by Nabila Morales Pérez.<br />
and a “Luxurious Master Bath Package.” 51 Toll Brothers<br />
illustrates the personalized “customer experience” in<br />
making what “may be one of the biggest and most important<br />
investments you’ll ever make” with testimonials<br />
from homeowners, that attest to the knowledgability of<br />
the Greenville Sales Team. 52<br />
Compare this type of exclusivity to that which<br />
defines Summit Greens, a gated, “deed restricted over 55<br />
community containing almost 800 homes and over 1,400<br />
residents . . . governed by an elected board of directors of<br />
the homeowner’s association,” complete with an 18-hole<br />
golf course, residents clubs, and evening entertainment:<br />
“There is always something to do at Summit Greens.” 53<br />
Summit Greens was constructed between 2001 and 2006<br />
by Levitt & Sons. Houses run in twelve models, from a 1,250<br />
square-foot two-bedroom type (excluding garage) to the<br />
2,400 square-foot three-bedroom Pinnacle series. Garages<br />
include space for golf carts, and actual floor plans reflect<br />
various upgrades. 54 Among the realtors representing Summit<br />
Greens properties is Susan H. of Keller William Realty<br />
LLC, a Wisconsin native who has lived in Summit Greens<br />
since 2003, “with a tremendous appreciation for Central<br />
Florida’s enticing climate and attractions, along with her<br />
hard working ethics from the north.” A “Certified Short<br />
Sale Specialist” (i.e. a specialist in selling homes with “underwater”<br />
mortgages), Susan “builds her client relationships<br />
through dedication, commitment, honesty, and good<br />
communication, while delivering the highest quality of<br />
service to all of her buyers and sellers and creating seamless<br />
and stress free transactions.” 55 Except, of course, for<br />
those whose mortgages are underwater.<br />
Differently supporting the growth of capital—including,<br />
in this case, human capital—and oriented toward<br />
a population with school-age children rather than to retirees,<br />
is Promontory Pointe, in Monument, Colorado, near<br />
Colorado Springs. Promontory Pointe is located in Lewis<br />
