Mike Waters with the Leon County Property Appraiser's Office says that Plantation Woods was built in five phases. Lomax Smith submitted the first plat in 1978, the last two years later. A gaggle of construction companies including Smith's Better Housing of Tallahassee and West Florida Construction helped line its winding streets with affordable basic brick or wood-siding homes. His wife, Kari, stays home with their three young children. But we've got a real open plan and like it a lot.
People think it's bigger than it is.
Torgesen's home, three bedrooms and two baths, also has a great room that leads easily into both dining and kitchen areas. It looks better that way. The Torgesens chose to build in Plantation Woods, they say, because they didn't want to contend with northeast traffic congestion. But I still like it better than battling Thomasville Road. School zoning also includes Griffin Middle School and Godby High School.
