Florida refers areas wetlands, as prairie, can be dry, hold water, or May be a shallow lake.
Many lots back up to what is prairie in Richmond.
Homes that have views are higher than the wetlands, some have 8 foot drop, some slope down to the wetlands, or ponds. After walking many of the view lots, none were wet, and view is great. Walking paths cut through some of the wetlands.

Our lot is 8 feet above where the prairie is dry, even with rain from hurricane. With the turnpike 4 streets over, we hear wildlife standing at the back of our property.

When you arrive in few weeks you will be amazed at how the developer has worked Richmond around the natural areas.
