Engle Homes Takes Over Independence


Engle Homes has taken over the development of the Independence neighborhood in Winter Garden recently. The original developer, Transeastern Homes, is no where to be seen. I spoke with one resident there that mentioned many people that had complaints with construction problems and lack of responsiveness with Transeastern Homes but that doesn’t explain why they would walk away from something that will bring money into the company so I did a little digging and found out that Transeastern Homes was bought by TOUSA in August of 2005. TOUSA is the company that owns Engle Homes. I tried visiting the Transeastern Homes website and the Engle page pops up when you visit the Transeastern site. My guess is that Engle will be building out the rest of Transeastern’s numerous central Florida communities.
