These dedicated individuals are your first point of contact, your trusted guides, and your go-to experts for Mirada.
We sat down with two of our seasoned Ambassadors, Angela and Serenity, to get an insider’s perspective on what makes the Mirada experience so special and how they help prospective homebuyers feel right at home.
More Than a Job: A Passion for People and Homes
Both Angela and Serenity share a genuine passion for helping people. Angela, who has been an Ambassador since 2021, loves “working with people and helping them find their dream homes.” Serenity, with two years in the role, echoes this sentiment, enjoying “being a part of this development and being able to help people on their home buying journey.”
The Perks of Lagoon Living: Resident Advantages
Curious about the exclusive benefits of being a Mirada Lagoon resident? Angela outlines some fantastic advantages:
- You’ll receive 25 free guest passes per year, with any additional passes costing only $5.
- You can visit our other lagoon communities for just $5.
- As a resident, you’ll also get discounts within the Lagoon.
- You’ll have access to our residents-only section.
- You’ll never be turned away if the Lagoon hits capacity.
Insider Advice for Your Home Buying Journey
When it comes to essential advice, both Ambassadors emphasize exploring your options. Angela’s key tip for prospective homebuyers is to “make sure they visit all the builders to find their perfect dream home.” Serenity advises touring “the Mirada property, including walking through the Lagoon with a Realtor to get a feel of the Lagoon life.”
Beyond the Tour: Making You Feel at Home
Our Ambassadors go beyond simply showing you properties on the sitemap. They strive to make you feel comfortable and confident in your decision. Angela achieves this by discussing “the surrounding areas and plans for the future,” while also detailing what “each builder has to offer that would best fit their needs.” Serenity focuses on connecting with visitors personally, sharing “extra details about the places they may find appealing after getting to know them.”
The greatest reward for them? Angela loves “seeing their happy faces and hearing how much they love the community after they have closed and are all moved into their houses.” For Serenity, it’s “meeting new people and listening to them talk about how much joy this community has brought to them and their families.”
Showcasing Mirada’s MetroLagoon
When asked about their favorite feature to showcase, both Ambassadors light up when talking about the 15.2-acre human-made Lagoon and its activities.
the Lagoon boasts almost a mile of shoreline and holds approximately 33 million gallons of water, reaching a depth of 15 feet at its deepest point
Beyond its impressive size, the Lagoon offers plenty of amenities and activities. Guests can enjoy Kayaking, Paddle Boarding, and the exciting Water Obstacle Course. For relaxation, there are Cabanas, Aqua Banas, and Tiki Huts, plus a refreshing Swim-up Bar and the Island Pavilion for events.
But what about the Lagoon’s activities? Angela personally loves the fireworks on holidays, calling them “extremely impressive” and a “must-see event.” Serenity highly recommends the water obstacle course for active fun and the movie nights for a more relaxed, “dryer” activity. She also enjoys the concerts/live music held at the Lagoon.
Mirada’s Best-Kept Secrets and Future Vision
Our Ambassadors also love sharing the lesser-known facts that make Mirada unique. Angela reveals that Mirada, along with its sister community Epperson, will one day form “a new city with a new zip code, called the Connected City.” Serenity reinforces this, explaining that “once the commercial development comes further along, we will rename this area the ‘Connected City’ with a new zip code”.
What excites them most about Mirada’s future? For Angela, it’s “all the commercial land coming in around Mirada,” hinting at even more convenience and amenities. Serenity shares this excitement, looking forward to “all the commercial properties within San Antonio to be developed so we are able to offer even more to our Mirada residents.”
Envisioning the Mirada Lifestyle
Our Ambassadors are masters at helping guests envision life here. Angela paints a picture of Mirada as a “beautiful town, with lots of amenities and lots of things to do and places to go.” Serenity brings it to life by detailing the “concerts, festivals, and activities we offer at the Lagoon,” along with “amenities we have outside of the Lagoon such as our trails, parks, and playgrounds.”
When asked to describe the “Mirada lifestyle” in three words, Angela chose:
- Beach without the driving, salt water: “Mirada offers the beach experience without the typical drawbacks.”Â
- Relaxing: “Mirada is a very calm and peaceful environment.”
- Beautiful: “The land Mirada sits on is one of the most beautiful land in all of Pasco County. It is at a higher elevation than most of Florida, therefore the weather is different there and much cooler with a nice breeze most of the time.”
Serenity’s three words were:
- Vacation: “You may have heard the term ‘staycation’; that is because living in Mirada and having the nation’s largest Lagoon just walking distance away from your home feels as if you’re on vacation.”
- Family/Friendly: “Our community is very family-oriented. It’s the perfect place to spend time with family, meet new people and make friends along the way.”
- Paradise: “Mirada is a land of luxury that everyone wants a chance to experience.”
