Villa d'Este in the Villages at Cypress Creek, Ruskin, FL was the Perfect Choice for the Baker Family

James and Diane Baker of Ruskin, FL had long been interested in living in a William Ryan Homes new home community, having seen the builder’s homes elsewhere around the Tampa Bay area. The Bakers have lived in Florida since James, who was in the military for 32 years, was stationed in Tampa from 2004 to 2008. And since they knew William Ryan Homes so well, when the Villa d’Este in the Villages of Cypress Creek neighborhood opened in Ruskin the couple became one of the first to buy.

It is the perfect choice for us.” said James and Diane.
