Lakewood Ranch Southeast is the newest expansion of the Lakewood Ranch master-planned community, on about 4,120 acres in Sarasota County. Developer Schroeder-Manatee Ranch (SMR) has approvals for up to 5,000 homes across multiple villages built by Toll Brothers, Pulte, Taylor Morrison, Neal Communities, Neal Signature Homes, John Cannon Homes, and others.
In northeast Sarasota County, north of Fruitville Road and west of Verna Road, east of I-75. A new five-mile, four-lane extension of Bourneside Boulevard between University Parkway and Fruitville Road is the main spine. Much of the area borders the 2,000-acre Heritage Ranch conservation land on the west.
Monterey at Lakewood Ranch by Toll Brothers is selling now. Announced communities include EverCreek by Pulte Homes and Esplanade at Cammaray by Taylor Morrison. Neal Communities, Neal Signature Homes, and John Cannon Homes have also closed on land, and two more parcels were under contract to unnamed buyers as of early 2026.
You can buy at Monterey at Lakewood Ranch today. SMR expects the road and utility infrastructure to be finished around the start of 2027 and most builders to begin marketing homes in 2027. Esplanade at Cammaray sales are anticipated in early 2027, and EverCreek's grand opening date hasn't been announced.
Prices are expected to range from about $300,000 to more than $2 million across the area. The only released pricing so far is at Monterey, where Toll Brothers lists homes from $738,995. Most other builders haven't published pricing yet.
Yes. It's developed by SMR, the company behind Lakewood Ranch, and residents have access to Lakewood Ranch's town centers, parks, trails, and events. Monterey is part of the Lakewood Ranch Stewardship District.
The area is in the Sarasota County School District. Pulte's EverCreek announcement names Tatum Ridge Elementary, McIntosh Middle, and Booker High. Assignments are address-specific and can change, so always confirm with Sarasota County Schools.
It's a special taxing district that finances roads, utilities, and other infrastructure in parts of Lakewood Ranch. Its assessments appear on your annual property tax bill and are separate from HOA dues, so ask for the exact amount for any home you consider.
Usually not. The builder typically pays the buyer's agent. Most builders require your agent to be registered at your first visit or inquiry, so it's best to connect with a Realtor before contacting a sales center.
