The Lakewood Ranch master-planned development in Manatee County has grown considerably in the 21st century, but there’s still more room for growth, expansion and quality of life. This much is made clear by Indigo at Lakewood Ranch, a brand-new collection of single-family homes.

Indigo is a gated community located on the north end of Lakewood Ranch, where the forest areas feature mature oaks that have been preserved for the enjoyment of residents and Florida wildlife. This neighborhood is being developed by Neal Communities, an award-winning home builder that has already completed other Lakewood Ranch villages. Indigo responds to real estate trends in Southwest Florida, whereby house hunters are in search of resort-style amenities and brand new residences.

As of mid-2015, pricing at Indigo was set between $245K and $268K for single-family residences featuring three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The coziest floor plan measures 1,407 square feet of interior space while the most spacious model measures 1,764 square feet. The architectural design is an update on the Mediterranean style, and many of the floor plans offer attractive extras such as gourmet kitchens, guest rooms, walk-in closets, and more.

The Indigo neighborhood is designed to appeal to all lifestyles. Active seniors will enjoy having a full-time activities director while single professionals can take advantage of facilities such as a resort-style swimming pool, gym and clubhouse. Families with school-age students have the convenience of living nearby public schools and county parks.

Neal Communities has chosen a very convenient subdivision to develop: Indigo is close to the intersection of Lakewood Ranch Boulevard and State Road 64, which is a major commercial district. Furthermore, Indigo is not far from golf courses, state parks, beaches, and Downtown Bradenton.
