Where can you find a newly-developed master planned community comprised of seven villages including townhomes, condos, single family homes and custom estates. Let me introduce you to Lakewood Ranch, a new community on the border between Sarasota and Bradenton Florida, astride the Sarasota and Manatee County line. It's a place where families become neighbors, neighbors become family and everyone enjoys a wonderful sense of community.
In addition to the widest possible variety of homes, townhomes and condominiums, Lakewood Ranch includes top-rated schools, three golf courses, a hospital and medical center, gourmet and family restaurants, unique shops and boutiques, business parks, an athletic center with fitness, aquatics and 18 lighted tennis courts, jogging trails and even Polo and Cricket clubs. The community is open and inviting to all as evidenced by its 21 houses of worship.
All this is linked together with a network of over 150 miles of sidewalks and trails, community parks, lakes and nature preserves with forest and wetland preserves with abundant wildlife.
And for those now thinking more eco-friendly in their lifestyle, it is nice to know that the 8,500 acre master planned community of Lakewood Ranch has been designated as the largest green-certified community in the United States. The town is committed to remaining green in all aspects of residential and commercial development.
Lakewood Ranch, located on Florida's West Coast in Manatee and Sarasota counties easily accessible from Interstate I-75 is an easy commute from all three area airports; the Sarasota-Bradenton, St. Petersburg and Tampa airports.
The heart of Lakewood Ranch is "Main Street." This outdoor venue consists of more than 30 stylish boutiques, 7 international restaurants, and the Lakewood Ranch Cinemas. Famous-name and specialty shops line the streets. The open-air environment provides a unique plaza for strolling and shopping. A central pavilion hosts special events, farmers markets, concerts and festivals throughout the year making Main Street the focal point of the community; its own, unique "downtown."
I would be delighted to introduce you to this uniquely inviting new town. Please E-Mail me or call me on my direct line at 941-228-2321 with the date you'll be in town. I would love to show you around Lakewood Ranch and other golf course and waterfront communities in the Sarasota Bradenton area of the Florida "Sun Coast" including Anna Maria Island and our island keys, Lido, Siesta and Longboat Key.
