Safe. Secure. Beautiful. 12 Hours After Hurricane Helene
Safety and Security at The Villages of Citrus Hills: Elevated Living with Peace of Mind
When it comes to making the move to Florida, many dream of the year-round sunshine, world-class golf, and the relaxed lifestyle of living in paradise. However, concerns about hurricanes and flooding often give people pause. Fortunately, The Villages of Citrus Hills offers not only a luxurious lifestyle but also safety and security, even in the face of Florida’s unpredictable weather. Recently, Hurricane Helene devastated many areas of Central Florida, but thanks to our 200-foot elevation above sea level, our community fared exceptionally well.
We also want to express our heartfelt thoughts and prayers to our nearby cities that experienced the devastating effects of the hurricane. While we were fortunate, we understand the impact on others and hope for a speedy recovery across the region.
High Elevation Means High Security: Benefits of Being Over 200 Feet Above Sea Level
One of the biggest advantages of The Villages of Citrus Hills is our high elevation, which provides a natural safeguard against storm surges and flooding. Many parts of Florida are at or near sea level, leaving them vulnerable to floods during hurricanes. However, with our community perched at over 200 feet above sea level, the risk of flooding is greatly reduced.
During Hurricane Helene, while other areas experienced heavy flooding and storm damage, Citrus Hills residents remained safe, dry, and secure. Roads were clear, homes undamaged, and the community continued to function smoothly. This geographical advantage gives residents the peace of mind that even in the worst weather, their homes and lifestyle are protected
Storm-Ready Infrastructure for Ongoing Peace of Mind
At The Villages of Citrus Hills, it’s not just our elevation that makes us safe; our infrastructure is designed to withstand severe weather. Homes are constructed to modern hurricane standards, including reinforced roofs and impact-resistant windows, providing extra security during storms.
During Hurricane Helene, our storm-ready infrastructure proved its worth, as minor outages were quickly resolved and essential services restored. While other areas were recovering from significant damage, residents of Citrus Hills were back on their golf courses, walking trails, and enjoying daily activities without missing a beat.
This kind of resilience is important for anyone considering a move to Florida. Living in a community that prioritizes safety and has planned for extreme weather ensures that residents can enjoy their dream lifestyle without worry.
Quick Recovery, Back to Business After the Storm
One of the most impressive aspects of living at The Villages of Citrus Hills is how quickly life returns to normal after a storm. Following Hurricane Helene, our top-notch maintenance crews were already at work clearing the few fallen branches and restoring any minor damages within hours of the storm’s passing.
Just one day after the storm, residents were back on the tennis courts, walking the scenic trails, and enjoying rounds of golf. The pristine landscaping and the meticulous care of the community ensure that residents never have to deal with prolonged disruptions. It's this level of preparedness and quick recovery that sets Citrus Hills apart from other communities.
