Joan and Joe Rizzo of Ft. Myers were not only
excited to find everything on
their dream home wish list at Portofino, they were also
comforted by the fact
that their builder was a nationally recognized company with
a long history of
building quality for less money.
Portofino, a gated community of luxury coach
homes is being developed and
built by Crosswinds Communities, one of the nation’s
top ten builders, according
to a 2003 national Big Builder magazine survey of building
industry

single-family home, they
prioritized their five most important needs – 2,000-plus
square feet, location
convenient to shopping and restaurants, low maintenance,
