When the Calusa Park in Nokomis gated community was completed in 2014 by D.R. Horton, it did not take long for all homes to be sold. Many of the original home buyers relocated from other spots in Sarasota County; they enjoyed the convenience of living in spacious homes within a neighborhood with easy access to Laurel Road, the Tamiami Trail, and I-75.
Calusa Park will appeal to families in search of larger homes. D.R. Horton selected floor plans with generous living space for this neighborhood; even the starter three-bedroom models offer at least 1,800 square feet of interior. The two-story homes offer as many as five bedrooms and three full bathrooms.
Thanks to a large lake right in the middle of Calusa Park, many of the 88 homeowners in this community enjoy nice water views. In addition to spacious floor plans, residents enjoy features such as energy-efficient roofs, modern air conditioning units with smart thermostats, storm panels, natural stone countertops, designer cabinetry, covered lanais, and more. The architectural style is reminiscent of Mediterranean design, and residents enjoy amenities such as a heated swimming pool, spa, a lounge space, and greenbelt areas. As of June 2020, pricing started at less than $350K, which is on par with median home prices in the Laurel and Nokomis housing markets.
