With all the great neighborhoods that comprise the Palmer Ranch master-planned development of Sarasota County, how can you choose the one that is just right for your family? As of early 2025, there are more than 30 communities in Palmer Ranch, but one of the best for families with young children is definitely Arbor Lakes. Initially developed in 2014, Arbor Lakes Palmer Ranch is the work of Taylor Morrison, an Arizona builder known for its resort-like communities. The final phase of construction was completed in 2019, and all homes were promptly purchased.
Arbor Lakes Palmer Ranch in Sarasota is a vibrant 217-acre neighborhood featuring more than 260 single-family homes, each ranging from about 2,000 to nearly 5,000 square feet of living space. Nestled along the scenic stretch of Palmer Ranch Parkway that parallels I-75, this sought-after community offers spacious floor plans—many with picturesque lake views—and a long list of amenities tailored for family living.
The resort-style amenity center is a standout, complete with a splash zone, twisting water slide, and a whimsical pirate-themed dumping bucket that’s a favorite with the kids. Residents also enjoy a basketball court, a sand volleyball area, a dog park, a playground, and a pavilion with picnic tables and barbecue grills—perfect for weekend get-togethers.
Since its initial development by Taylor Morrison, Arbor Lakes has seen a remarkable rise in home values. The earliest models were once priced around $207,000. Fast forward to today, and home prices reflect the area’s popularity and growth. For example:
- A 3-bed, 2-bath home with 2,056 sq ft recently listed for $775,000
- A 4-bed, 4-bath home with over 3,300 sq ft is on the market for $850,000
- Larger homes nearing 4,700 sq ft are now listed above $1.1 million
