Esplanade at Lakewood Ranch is a resort-style golf community developed by Taylor Morrison beginning in 2012. While the timing raised eyebrows at the time, the vision behind Esplanade quickly proved successful—establishing the neighborhood as one of the most distinctive lifestyle communities in Manatee County.
What set Esplanade apart from the start was Taylor Morrison’s commitment to the traditional country club lifestyle at a moment when many believed buyer demand had shifted away from golf communities. The inclusion of a championship golf course, paired with a full suite of resort amenities, was a bold move that ultimately defined Esplanade’s long-term appeal.
Today, Esplanade is widely regarded as more than just another village within Lakewood Ranch. It functions as a modern country club environment where residents enjoy a carefully curated balance of recreation, relaxation, and social connection. Home options include maintenance-free golf villas as well as larger single-family residences designed for comfortable full-time or seasonal living.
Residences at Esplanade reflect a thoughtful blend of function and style, with open floor plans, well-appointed kitchens, generous outdoor living areas, and designs that complement the surrounding natural landscapes. Whether choosing a villa or a detached home, residents benefit from a lifestyle focused on convenience and community.
Amenities are a defining feature of Esplanade at Lakewood Ranch. In addition to the golf course and clubhouse, residents enjoy access to a resort-style swimming pool, fitness center, library, card and billiards rooms, outdoor fitness areas, picnic spaces, dog park, playground, bocce ball courts, and even a kayak launch for enjoying nearby waterways.
The community continues to evolve, with ongoing enhancements designed to elevate the resident experience. These additions reinforce Esplanade’s position as one of Lakewood Ranch’s premier lifestyle-focused neighborhoods.
