SUN SHINES ON VIZCAYA'S ACCLAIMED OUTDOOR LIFESTYLE

Opening of Outdoor Pool and Sun Deck Just Weeks Away

 WEST ORANGE, N.J. – Flower beds greet guests at the front entrance of theVizcaya estate, neighbors chat during leisurely strolls along landscaped walking paths and residents relax outside on their private terraces. The spring sunshine has set Vizcaya’s renowned outdoor lifestyle in bloom once again, and residents can now count the days until the beautiful outdoor pool and elevated sun deck are open for the season.

The luxury gated community in West Orange is known for its highly-amenitized lifestyle year round, but it is particularly attractive in the warm weather, when numerous sources of outdoor recreation are just a short walk from every resident’s front door. Tennis is located on the property, tee times are available at nearby golf courses and the outdoor pool glistens in the sunlight right in the center of the community. Outdoor terrace seating is abundant, highlighted by the grand Napa Valley style porch that looks down on the pool and offers sweeping views of a tree-lined horizon.

“One of the things that makes Vizcaya one of the most desirable luxury residential communities in New Jersey is the intimate, resort-like lifestyle all residents enjoy,” said Kristina Hedden, Vice President of Marketing at Millennium Homes. “That appeal is particularly strong in the spring and summer. The outdoor pool is one of the jewels of the community, not to mention the numerous amenities our residents enjoy 12 months out of the year. With available homes becoming more scarce by the day, now is the time for guests to come visit Vizcaya and claim a piece of this highly-coveted lifestyle for themselves.”

Vizcaya is a five-star residential community that graces a hilltop in scenic Western Essex County. Overlooking a canopy of trees, it stands out as one of the most beautiful luxury communities in New Jersey. The main building, with its traditional stone façade and European-inspired architecture, serves as the centerpiece of the estate. Luxury townhomes, manicured gardens and landscaped walking paths surround the main building.
