Not many home builders can boast of releasing new floor plans and immediately earning a Parade of Homes award, but this was the case for KB Home in 2019 when the first models were completed at the village at Avaunce Lakewood Ranch. Located north of State Road 70 and west of Lorraine Road, Avaunce is a small and stylish gated community with comforts and amenities that will appeal to families and retirees alike.
The quality construction and reasonable prices at Avaunce make it a very attractive community for home buyers in 2024; its quiet location on the northeastern section of Lakewood Ranch is close to the Lakewood Walk shopping center, which is anchored by a Publix supermarket, and you can also find suburban comforts such as Walgreens and Dunkin Donuts not far from the front gate.
The eight floor plans selected by KB Homes for Avaunce are inspired by the Mediterranean revival style with a touch of California coastal. Each model has three elevation options to give the community a nice diversity of styles. The interior design is what got the attention of the Parade of Homes judges, particularly the designer kitchen with solid surface countertops, recessed LED lights, Moen faucets, Kohler sinks, and Whirlpool appliances. Prices start at less than $500K (2025) for a three-bedroom home with two full bathrooms. Latest pricing at Avaunce Lakewood Ranch will be found below if there is inventory.
Like all of the best-selling villages of Lakewood Ranch, Avaunce offers amenities such as a swimming pool with cabanas, a clubhouse, and green spaces. Something that prospective buyers should keep in mind about Avaunce Lakewood Ranch is that it is located just blocks away from the Premier Sports Campus; this is where Manatee County officials plan to build Premier Park, a mixed-zoning development that includes office space, neighborhood attractions, and county facilities. This is the kind of planning that real estate investors look for because of its positive effect on property values.
