CELEBRATING 50 YEARS IN 2008!!! When the Warrington family purchased Orange Acres in 1964, it was "way out in the sticks"!! Not any more!! Many things have changed dramatically since then - Orange Acres now sits approximately 1/4 mile from exit 205 off I-75, Clark Road is now a major six-lane road to U.S. 41, and literally dozens of businesses including hospitals, medical facilities, banks, restaurants, a variety of retail stores, and nine golf courses are located within a 5 mile radius of our community! But it's good to know that some things have remained the same - the Warrington family is now in their 3rd generation of owning and managing Orange Acres, our staff has over 120 combined years of service to Orange Acres residents, we have many second-generation residents, and Orange Acres has retained that friendly, caring spirit that truly sets us apart as a special community! Our mission statement for Warrington Enterprises Inc.: WE the people strive to serve others by providing housing, unique services, and a lifestyle in the communities WE serve, along with holding to our values and showing the love of Christ. If you are looking for an active, 55+ community that has a great location, a caring, friendly atmosphere, and management and staff that truly has a heart to serve our residents with excellence - contact us today! Please note - application is required prior to purchasing, renting, or residing in Orange Acres (credit history, criminal check, references, etc.); the application fee is $25 per person, non-refundable; prices listed do not include sales tax and closing costs; sizes listed are approximate; sorry - no dogs allowed. 2010 lot rents range from $427 to $447 per month and include: garbage & recycling & yard waste pickup, grass cutting all year, weedeating & edging 3 times per year, tree trimming, non-advalorem taxes (fire, stormwater, ambulance assessment), and all amenities.
