Esplanade at Lakewood Ranch is a neighborhood that has been under development by home builder Taylor Morrison since 2012. These days, Esplanade presents one of the best real estate opportunities in Manatee County, but this was not always the case.

What makes this neighborhood unique is that Taylor Morrison took a chance with Esplanade in the sense that some analysts believed that the regional housing market had not fully recovered in 2012. The golf course was another surprise to those who believed that home buyers were no longer interested in that lifestyle.

Thus far, Taylor Morrison has proven doubters wrong. Sales at Esplanade were brisk even before the 18-hole golf course opened, and property values have appreciated considerably.

With Esplanade, Taylor Morrison is focused on delivering the full resort lifestyle experience. Esplanade is not just another village at Lakewood Ranch; it is a modern country club where residents can choose between maintenance-free golf villas and stately single-family residences.

Homes at Esplanade start with two-bedroom golf villas that offer 1,528 square feet of interior space. The detached single-family homes average 2,316 square feet and feature three bedrooms, three full bathrooms and a garage for two vehicles. The 2024 price range at Esplanade is between $415K and $1.9 million; values are expected to continue appreciating. Latest pricing at Esplanade Lakewood Ranch will be found below if there is inventory.

Taylor Morrison has more improvements in store for Esplanade. In the near future, concierge service, golf instruction and dining venues will be added; the goal is to achieve a perfect balance of comfort and convenience for residents.
