Sugar Mill Lakes in Palmetto is often cited as a modern example of real estate success in Southwest Florida. After taking a forced break following the downturn of the housing market in 2008, national home builder Neal Communities set its sights on Manatee County, initially developing neighborhoods in Lakewood Ranch and Bradenton before heading north to Palmetto.
Neal Communities started construction of Sugar Mill Lakes around 2011, and it took less than 36 months to completely sell out all residences. Home buyers were immediately attracted to the spacious and elegant floor plans as well as the prices, which are considerably lower than those of single-family residences built in Bradenton subdivisions.
Sugar Mill Lakes is located north of Ellenton, between I-75 and the Tamiami Trail. Neal Communities is known for its commitment to following green construction guidelines and conserving nature, and this commitment certainly came into play while developing Sugar Mill Lakes since it is right next door to the Felts Audubon Preserve. This is a pristine part of Florida; it is filled with lakes, ponds, creeks, and meadows that the developer set aside for conservation.
The single-family residences in Sugar Mill Lakes are generous in terms of lot size, interior space and quality construction. The average home in this community features three bedrooms, two full bathrooms and 1,700 square feet of living space. Prices start under $260K; it really helps to stay on top of listings because they tend to sell fast and do not come on the market as often as buyers would like.
Sugar Mill Lakes has a few community amenities that are perfect for families: basketball and tennis courts, large playground, picnic areas, rec centers, and lots of nature trails to explore. Nearby attractions include the Ellenton Ice and Sports Complex as well as the Premium Outlets. Holmes Beach is about 40 minutes away.
