The Meadows Village is an established neighbourhood developed throughout the 1980’s. it is located just south of University Parkway, west of Honore Rd, and East of Desoto Lakes and Kensington Park. This village consists of a range of housing, from low rise condo’s to wide-lot detached homes ranging from 1200-2800 square feet. There is a very consistent design to the whole area, with a very natural wooded feel, and full of old oak trees. There are over 1600 acres of open space, 14 trails, and countless lakes. This is truly a nature inspired community.
Local amenities Include the Meadows Golf Club, UTC Mall & Shopping District, Nathan Benderson Park, and all the Downtown Sarasota activities described in the video above.
The builders of this community put an emphasis on nature and it often feels like these homes have been nestled in between age old trees and lakes. The winding streets have wide-lot homes, which includes a majority of condo and villas, as well as single family homes. Though the angular design is great for housing placement, they continued the angular design inside, which is often not the most current look. In the 1980’s, the trend is for more closed off spaces with angled hallways and kitchen islands. The plus side is that these homes feel bright because of their width, so if you don’t mind the angles or love to renovate, you get great value for money in The Meadows.
