The Elements at Brightwater

METRO
LAGOONS

Metro Places is proud to offer the world’s top amenity! The introduction of Metro Lagoons by Crystal Lagoons® will forever change the way you view coastal living in the beautiful sunny state of Florida. We have brought the best of the coastline to some of the most rapidly growing and sought after areas, with crystal clear blue waters that span in size from 8 acres to over 12 acres. Each will be surrounded by shores of resort-style fun, beauty and tropical relaxation.
FASTEST
WiFi

Becoming a homeowner in an ULTRAFi Community means enjoying the fastest internet and WiFi speeds in North America! Enjoy up to 1 Gigabit of speed throughout the community and even choose up to 1 Gigabit of speed at home. Get ready to play, watch, game, surf and stream without delays or disruptions by the pool, on the trails, at the playground and right inside your home. Only available here, in select Metro Places communities.
TOP
BUILDERS

A big part of what makes Metro Places so great is our awesome builders. Top Builders means homes built by award-winning builders with a focus on the best of design, eco-friendly features, attractive pricing and friendly, helpful sales agents. With many floor plans and front elevations to choose from and with Metro Places being communities with multi-builders, we keep our communities from looking “cookie-cutter” but still uniform in overall style which is ideal for your new living environment.
DOG
PARK

When we designed our communities, we thought about all of our residents. Even the pooches. So the off-leash Dog Park we’ve designed for your loyal and obedient friends is the place to let them run wild. Lots of cool shade and places to keep them hydrated on hot days. They’ll be sitting up and begging you to take them there everyday.
GATED
ENTRY

Metro Places that include the key-icon in their amenity package mean that they are part of a gated enclave of homes. With remote access for themselves and call-in access for visitors, homeowners can enjoy this added benefit and peace of mind. Regardless of whether or not the community entry is gated, all of our clubhouses and pool areas are gated areas and are restricted to residents-only with exclusive key-fob access.
LUSH
LANDSCAPING

Green grass, trees, plants and flowers run abundant at Metro Places with our beautiful landscape design but it extends to so much more than that. The landscape of our communities extends to our hard-scape plans too. With bridges, towers, upgraded street signs and light posts, winding roads that curve and elevate…the big and small details that make you feel a sense of neighborhood, a sense of special, a sense of home.
ZEN
GARDEN

Part of the Metro Places motto is to leave the rest of the world behind and our Zen Garden is designed with peace, tranquility and beauty in mind. (OK, that last line was a mini-poem…see, the Zen Garden inspires poetic harmony.) With cobalt columns brought in from the far reaches of the earth and a design that was perfectly formulated for your personal Zen, it’s nice to know that while our nearby Fitness Stations are in place to be heart-pumping, the Zen Garden is simply there to be heart-warming.
SMART
HOMES

Every home in our ULTRAFi communities is built to be a Smart Home. Want to dim the lights? Change the temperature? Set the security? It’s so simple here in an ULTRAFi Community. Once you download the app, you can adjust it all from across the room or across town. Your new home comes with smart controlled features already in place and of course you can always add more — up to you if you want a few switches and cameras or a full suite of smart home automation.
MILES
OF TRAILS

Our exciting trail system covers several miles around the community, and connects with several destinations outside our walls. Perfect for walkers, runners, hikers and bikers. Whatever your escape route, you’ll discover lots of fun points of interest along the way.
GOLF
CART PATHS

You don’t need to hit a round of 18 to enjoy the coolest mode of transportation. With Golf Cart Paths in select Metro Places communities, you can enjoy the fun and convenience of getting around in your own golf cart via our well-placed paths. You will be delighted to use these routes inside the communities to visit neighbors or to easily get to the clubhouse, pool or tennis courts. Best part is, our paths are designed to connect with golf cart roads situated in town, right outside of our communities to best ensure a true Florida lifestyle.
SHADED
TOT LOT

Moms and dads will love that our littlest residents get their own space to burn off all that kid-sized energy. The Tot Lot features a great big play structure for kids to climb up, jump around and slide down. As a topper, there’s a shady canopy over the whole shebang.
GREEN
SPACE

Some of our communities have a traditional Landing. Others have Passive Parks — whatever you call it we are just so happy to have these areas in our communities. Metro Places believes that aside from homes and amenities, that Green Space goes a long way to make our neighborhoods special. A great place for our events…or to kick the ball around…bring the pets…relax with a book…catch some sun…tumble with the kids…movie on the lawn…the list goes on and on.
COMMUNITY
EVENTS

One of the things that make Metro Places so special is not just the word “community” as a collection of houses, but a sense of community where neighbors come together as friends. Community Events range from socials by the pool to gatherings with the kids, costume contests for Halloween, and fun times during Fourth of July, Labor Day and more! Events vary by community.

Enjoy the numerous activities or simply enjoy the view. Already hugely popular throughout the world, we are excited to introduce Metro Lagoons by Crystal Lagoons®. Brightwater will be among the first to feature this incredible, transformative amenity to the United States. At over five acres in size and with crystal clear blue waters, home owners will have an opportunity to live a coastal lifestyle steps away from their front door.
