Minto looked long and hard to find the architectural firms that could do justice to our vision of Artesia. The firms that we have chosen are among the most celebrated in the country; one is a treasure of the California coast, the others are multi-award-winning architects and planners from our very own Gold Coast.

Minto's mandate to them: Create nothing less than a paradise, a community that offers exceptional diversity in architectural and living styles.

This mandate is reflected in the fact that all residences will boast cutting edge designs and offer the look, feel and style of sumptuous European villas.

Colorful TownVillas will set the tone at the ground level. They in turn will be complemented by GardenVillas built around lavishly landscaped courtyards. Perched above the community will be expansive SkyVillas offering picture-postcard panoramas of the lake and pools, and end-of-day splendor as the tropical sun slowly descends over the tranquil Everglades.

Minto's emphasis on the innovative, on doing things with flair and finesse, is seen — not only in the variety of Artesia's residences — but by the fact that much of the parking is hidden underneath the buildings.

All residences will live very much like private villas. Arched colonnades lead into beautiful courtyards with sculpted roof forms reminiscent of those found in the villaggi of Italy. Most residences will welcome you with individual, gated entry courts.

In addition, residences are full of unexpected surprises, like glorious gourmet kitchens, elegant master suites and a sense of airiness and openness derived from a combination of high ceilings, sprawling screened patios and ingenious use of light and glass.

To top it off, you can choose from a wide variety of distinctive 2 and 3 bedroom floor plans. From the High $200's to Low $500s. Brokers welcome.
