A “master-planned community” describes any new community that plans in advance where homes will be located in relation to other elements of a community, including schools, retail, restaurants, businesses, recreation and natural habitat.

An MPC also provides homeowners peace of mind, because it lays out a clear plan for infrastructure (such as roads and amenities), as well as sets a standard for maintenance as the community grows.

Lakewood Ranch is unique in the fact that it has been under the stewardship of one family for over 100 years. Through generations of careful planning and dedicated building, Lakewood Ranch has become a thriving community, and home to more than 72,000 residents.

Among other awards and accolades, Lakewood Ranch was named by RCLCO and John Burns, two leading real estate consulting firms, the best-selling community for all ages in the country since 2018. We have two actively selling villages exclusively for 55 and better, but we have residents of all ages throughout The Ranch. The median age of our residents is 53. Our wide array of home types, amenities and conveniences (schools, healthcare, professional opportunities, close proximity to cities) makes The Ranch an incredible choice at any age or stage of life. So, whether you’re just around the corner, in the next village, or all under one roof, multigen living at Lakewood Ranch can look however you’d like it.

We offer a variety of home types, including attached villas and townhomes from the $300s and single-family homes from the $400s. You’ll also find many options for rentals and senior living.
