30 Years of the Good Life

We curate the good life, and we've been doing exactly that from the moment one family had a vision for what The Ranch could be. Over 100 years later, through generations of careful planning and dedicated building, that same family is still guiding the community. It's that tradition of care and consideration that's made Lakewood Ranch the #1 multi-generational community in the U.S. for six years running.

Commitment

A Way of Life

We set out to build a community that’s more than just the homes it’s made up of. From day one, Lakewood Ranch was meant to be a place that embodies the values of ranch life – a respect for the land, the importance of community, and a commitment to doing what we say we’ll do.

Conveniences

Thoughtfully Planned

Our 40% open space plan and mixed-use component work together to provide each village on The Ranch with easy access to nature and recreation, neighborhood and community amenities, robust job centers, shopping and dining, medical services, places of worship, and top-rated schools.

Choices

Something for Everyone

On The Ranch, we think choice is a great thing. You’ll find something for every taste, preference, and need. Homes big or small—simple or extravagant. Move now or next year. Neighborhoods gated, golf, or 55+. Bring yourself. Bring your family. Bring generations! We have a place for you.

Connections

The Happenings

Friendly neighbors, a busy social calendar, parks and paths surrounded by nature and full of fresh air. Wellness isn’t just about your physical health, it’s also about your mind, spirit and connectedness to the people and world around you. When you live here, you don’t have to look far for the things that feed your soul like community traditions, resident clubs, charitable endeavors and mother nature.
