The master-planned development known as Lakewood Ranch never seems to run out of pleasant real estate surprises. If you are looking for new construction opportunities at comfortable price points in 2019, Palisades at Lakewood Ranch is a neighborhood you can safely put at the top of your house hunting list. Palisades is a gated community developed by national home builder D.R. Horton; it is located just north of the main country clubs of Lakewood Ranch, and it offers many recently completed single-family homes.

The floor plans selected by D.R. Horton for Palisades range between 1,640 and 2,034 square feet of living space. The architectural design is a modern take on the Mediterranean revival style with a hint of Florida ranch, and each property is loaded with features such as master suites built towards the back for maximum privacy, stainless steel appliances, solid wood cabinetry, and more. With three lakes in the community, you may be able to get a nice view of the water.

Pricing starts just under $305K as of February 2019 for three bedroom homes with two full bathrooms, but it may not stay at these levels for very long. Residents of Palisades enjoy their own swimming pool with cabanas as well as a nature trail along the shore of a natural lake. Keep in mind that these new construction homes come with a builder’s warranty.

Palisades boasts a great location virtually in the heart of Lakewood Ranch; the three closest Publix supermarkets can be reached in less than 10 minutes, and the neighborhood is surrounded by golf courses. Families will like the convenience of living near Heron’s Nest Nature Park, Greenbrook Park, the Premier Sports Campus, and Lake Manatee. Bradenton Beach is about 45 minutes away, and driving to Longboat Key takes only a little longer.
