Palm Grove is one of the newest lifestyle communities in Lakewood Ranch Florida, and it’s already generating plenty of excitement among homebuyers. Built by Neal Communities, Palm Grove is designed as a multigenerational, family-friendly gated community where neighbors connect, families grow, and residents enjoy the best of modern Florida living.
This neighborhood blends thoughtfully designed homes, resort-style amenities, and a prime location near schools, shopping, and recreation. Whether you’re looking for a low-maintenance townhome, a spacious single-family residence, or a paired villa that balances comfort and convenience, Palm Grove offers a variety of options to suit nearly every stage of life.
In this community guide, you’ll discover what makes Palm Grove unique—from its wide range of home styles and floor plans, to its amenities, lifestyle, and convenient location in the heart of Lakewood Ranch.
When it comes to choosing a home in Palm Grove, buyers have more options than most nearby communities. Neal Communities has designed Palm Grove with 18 distinct floor plans across multiple product types, ranging from townhomes and paired villas to three single-family home series: Cruise, Celebration, and Cove.
This variety ensures there’s a home style for almost every buyer—first-time homeowners, downsizers, retirees, and growing families alike.
Palm Grove offers two townhome models—the Avery and the Morgan. Each is a 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath, 1,790 sq. ft. home with a one-car garage, starting from $319,990.
Avery: Features the kitchen toward the center of the home with the living area positioned at the back, opening to the patio.
Morgan: Inverts the layout, with the living area near the entry and the kitchen and dining room at the rear.
This subtle difference allows buyers to choose a layout that best matches their lifestyle preferences.
For those seeking single-level, low-maintenance living, Palm Grove offers paired villas:
Tidewinds 2: 2 bed, 2 bath, 1,638 sq. ft., starting at $399,990.
Sandcastle 2: 3 bed, 2 bath, 1,848 sq. ft., starting at $419,990.
Both come with two-car garages and are built on 37.5’ x 125’ lots, ideal for downsizers, snowbirds, or buyers wanting community amenities without the upkeep of a large home.
The Cruise Series offers five floor plans across 45’ x 130’ lots. Homes in this series range from 1,533 to 2,956 sq. ft., with 3–5 bedrooms, single and two-story options, and base prices starting in the low $400s.
The Celebration Series offers eight floor plans across 52’ wide lots. Homes here are larger, with 2,064–3,400+ sq. ft. and 3–5 bedrooms. Most have two-car garages, though the Lighthouse model features a three-car garage. Base prices range from $499,000 to just over $600,000.
For buyers seeking more space and upgrades, the Cove Series offers five floor plans across 57’ wide lots. Homes range from 2,200–3,200 sq. ft., mostly with three-car garages. Base prices start in the mid-$500s and extend to the mid-$600s+.
Whether you prefer building from scratch with customized design selections or choosing a move-in-ready inventory home, Palm Grove offers flexibility rarely found in other new-construction communities.
Palm Grove isn’t just about homes—it’s about lifestyle. Neal Communities has designed Palm Grove as a social, wellness-focused, family-oriented community.
The centerpiece will be the Palm Club, scheduled to open in the near future. This private amenity center will feature:
Resort-style pool & lap pool
Fitness studio & yoga lawn
Pickleball and tennis courts
Clubhouse & community center
Grand lawn for events and activities
Parks, playground, and cornhole courts
Walking trails and nature views
An on-site Lifestyle Director will coordinate activities, events, and clubs to ensure Palm Grove residents have plenty of opportunities to connect. This feature sets Palm Grove apart from many other new-construction neighborhoods in the area.
One of Palm Grove’s greatest strengths is its prime northeast Lakewood Ranch location along State Road 64. This area has been rapidly expanding, with new schools, shopping centers, and amenities under development.
Everyday Conveniences: Publix supermarket and a new K–8 school are being built directly across the street. A new high school is also planned in the Lakewood Ranch area.
Major Retail: Just 12 minutes away is Heritage Harbour Marketplace, home to Costco, and a brand-new Target currently under construction.
Lakewood Ranch Hotspots: Waterside Place, Main Street, and the UTC Mall are all within a short drive.
Beach Access: Anna Maria Island, Siesta Key, and Longboat Key are all reachable in under 45 minutes.
Nearby Cities: 20 miles to downtown Sarasota, 35 miles to St. Pete, 50 miles to Tampa, and about two hours to Orlando.
Palm Grove residents enjoy the peace of a gated community while remaining connected to everything that makes Lakewood Ranch one of the top-selling master-planned communities in the nation.
Palm Grove has been designed as a multigenerational community, making it attractive to a wide range of buyers:
First-Time Buyers: Affordable townhomes and villas provide an entry point into Lakewood Ranch.
Families: Single-family homes in the Cruise, Celebration, and Cove series offer flexible layouts and nearby schools.
