Intro to the Central Park "village" in Lakewood Ranch

  The Central Park "village" in Lakewood Ranch is comprised of 7 distinct neighborhoods centered around a 10-acre Central Park, its main attraction for families of all ages. Children of all ages enjoy the playground, the splash park and the baseball field as well as playing with their four-legged friends in the dog park. There are also 2 tennis courts and meandering sidewalks for relaxing strolls or bike rides.

  To reach Central Park, from University Parkway east of I-75, turn onto Lakewood Ranch Blvd and then turn right at Malachite Drive into Central Park. The builders in Central Park include well-known names like Cardell Homes, Neal Communities, Bruce Williams and Lee Wetherington all with many years of building homes in this part of Florida.

  The neighborhoods of Piedmont Park, Forest Park, Brickell Park and Gramercy Park include homes generally priced from the mid $100's. Claremont Park and Longview Lake Park have larger homes up to 3,000 square feet priced from the $200's to over $500,000. Homes in Central Park are attractive to retirees as well as young families. There is a strong sense of community in this community and it stems from that wonderful park where neighbors meet and greet and get to know one another. And, there's another plus. Families with children appreciate the top-rated schools in Lakewood Ranch.

  Homes in Central Park, like all homes in Lakewood Ranch, are built to meet or exceed Florida's Green Building Coalition standards for energy efficiency, clean indoor air, sustainability and drought resistant landscaping using plantings native to Florida.

  Another reason why so many people are flocking to one of the ten "villages" in Lakewood Ranch is the attractive area known as "Main Street" where you'll find retail shops, office space, gourmet and family-friendly restaurants and entertainment spots.
