What the Twin Homes Are

These are single-story, duplex-style villas — paired single-family homes sharing one wall, each with a private entrance, private garage, and private backyard. Generally 2 to 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, with a two-car garage. Lennar's Everything's Included model means smart home technology, energy-efficient construction, and designer-selected finishes come standard at the base price.

• Pricing: from roughly $490K (just under $500K), up into the high $500s depending on plan, lot, and available inventory
• Size: generally ~1,800–2,000 sf on the core plans (some plans vary; verify current floor plans)
• Amenity access: identical to every other Arden collection

Pricing, plans, and inventory change over time; verify current figures with Lennar and the community.

The Wrong Assumption Most Buyers Make

Two wrong assumptions, actually.

First, buyers assume "twin home" means apartment-style living. It doesn't. These are ground-level, single-story homes with private entrances, private garages, and private backyards. One shared wall — that's the only difference from a detached home.

Second, buyers assume the Twin Homes give you a watered-down Arden experience. Wrong. Every Twin Homes resident has identical access to every amenity — the farm, the pool, the clubhouse, the trails, the fishing dock, the kayak launch, the fitness center, the sports courts.

The actual trade-offs are straightforward and honest: a shared wall (less privacy on one side), a smaller footprint (~1,800–2,000 sf vs. 3,000+ sf in larger collections), standard lot size, and 2–3 bedrooms versus 4–5 in the bigger collections.

Two Decision Paths Within Arden

Same community, same amenities — two very different entry points. See the Waterford Collection guide.

What Actually Happens

Twin Homes buyers at Arden typically fall into three profiles: downsizers leaving larger homes who want to keep an active lifestyle; younger buyers or couples entering homeownership in an amenity-rich environment; and investors seeking rental income in a gated community with strong school zoning. Different goals, same smart entry into the community.

The Lesson

The Twin Homes Collection isn't a compromise — it's an entry strategy. You get the full Arden lifestyle at the lowest price point inside the community. The trade-off is footprint and the shared-wall design. If you want into Arden under $500K and the option to move up within the community later, this is where you start.
