Palm Grove

Palm Grove is a new 900-home gated village by Neal Communities in the northeast corner of Lakewood Ranch, Florida — one of the final phases of the nation's top-selling multi-generational master-planned community. Pre-sales launched in January 2025 and the Discovery Center grand opening followed in June 2025, with nine decorated models on site and construction actively underway. The community offers 19 distinct floorplans across three home types: 15 single-family home designs ranging from 1,533 to 3,483 square feet, two paired-villa options from 1,638 to 1,848 square feet, and two townhome plans at 1,790 square feet. Homes showcase Neal's signature Florida Modern architecture in four styles — British West Indies, farmhouse, coastal and French Colonial — giving Palm Grove a curated coastal-village feel rather than the sameness of a typical production subdivision. Townhomes start in the low $300s, villas begin at $399,990 and single-family homes start at $430,990, with the top of the inventory reaching into the mid-$900s. Daily life centers on the Palm Club, a Florida Modern amenity campus with a clubhouse, social spaces, fitness center, resort-style pool, lap pool, pickleball courts, yoga lawn, tot lot, dog parks and scenic walking trails threaded through preserved lakes and natural areas. A full-time on-site Lifestyle Director programs events, clubs and activities year-round, which is a meaningful differentiator for an all-ages village — it gives Palm Grove the social energy most buyers associate with 55+ resort communities while remaining open to every life stage. The site itself is a draw. Palm Grove sits on the north side of State Road 64 just east of Uihlein Road, directly adjacent to Lake Manatee State Park — a roughly 500-acre state park with hiking, fishing and kayaking essentially across the street. A new Publix and the new Lake Manatee K-8 school (opening Fall 2025) are being built directly across SR-64, and a new Target at Heritage Harbour Marketplace is under construction about 12 minutes away, alongside the existing Costco. Homes are zoned to Witt Elementary, Haile Middle and Parrish Community High. The broader Lakewood Ranch master plan gives residents access to more than 200 shops and restaurants, Waterside Place, Lakewood Ranch Main Street, UTC Mall, 150+ miles of public trails, and the Ranch's extensive parks system. Beaches at Anna Maria Island, Longboat Key and Siesta Key are all under 45 minutes away. Downtown Sarasota is about 20 miles south, SRQ airport is roughly 10 miles, St. Petersburg is 35 miles and Tampa sits about 50 miles north. Palm Grove is not age-restricted, but its gated layout, on-site Lifestyle Director, low-maintenance villa and townhome options, and single-story floorplans make it a strong fit for retirement-minded buyers who want a social, active community without a deed restriction — particularly multigenerational buyers who expect adult children or grandchildren to visit or live nearby within the Ranch.
