Esplanade by Siesta Key : Sarasota Homes for Sale in a Gated Community

More than a decade ago, acclaimed national home builder Taylor Morrison purchased quite a few acres of land around Southwest Florida; this land acquisition was made at a time when the real estate market was at very high levels of activity, and developers never expected that a major downturn was just around the corner.

When the housing market started to recover, Taylor Morrison decided that the time was right to give Sarasota home buyers something different: Esplanade by Siesta Key is the second of a new concept of communities ideal for residents who seek an upscale and active lifestyle.

Esplanade by Siesta Key is located between Tamiami Trail and Stickney Point Road, just east of Sarasota Memorial Park. This gated community feature single-family homes as well as attached villas; they are all luxurious and maintenance-free properties neatly arranged along pristine lakes and forest preserves.

The properties in this neighborhood are very stylish; they are built in a modern version of the Tuscan school of architectural design, and they are filled with extras such as decorative tiled roofs, designer kitchens, paver driveways, cathedral ceilings, bay windows, and more. Esplanade is one of the few communities in Sarasota with a beach volleyball court; other amenities include tennis, bocce ball, a lagoon-shaped swimming pool, large barbecue area, lavish clubhouse, dog park, and nature trails.

Esplanade is conveniently located near golf courses, city parks, commercial districts, and shopping centers. Driving to the beach by means of the Stickney Point causeway takes less than 10 minutes.

As one of the Sarasota communities where values are climbing steadily, available listings at Esplanade by Siesta Key tend to be purchased very quickly. As of early 2018, two homes built in 2014 were listed under $500K; prospective home buyers should work with their real estate agents to come up with an efficient bidding strategy.
