Esplanade - An "Active Lifestyle" Community in Lakewood Ranch

What, you may ask, is an “active lifestyle” community Here’s a hint. It's not an empty-nester or retirement community with a bike trail. It's a lot more than that.

Esplanade at Lakewood Ranch is appropriate to people of all ages offering resort-style amenities and a constant flow of planned events by the full-time lifestyle director.

The centerpiece of the community is the clubhouse where everyone can stay healthy and active. Indoors there's a grand ballroom, a catering kitchen, card and craft rooms, billiards area and a library. Residents of Esplanade are encouraged to participate in a variety of organized social and recreational ativities designed to enhance their fitness, health and happiness.

Outdoors, there is a BBQ area, fire pit, an adventure playground and pickleball and bocce courts, accessible by golf cart, and a canoe and kayak launch to round out the active lifestyle concept. There is even a fenced bark park for residents' dogs to get some exercise. The grounds also includes a heated lagoon-style pool with spa.

In addition to the wide range of amenities at Esplanade, itself, residents enjoy all the cultural, recreational, commercial and health care facilities plus the miles of walking trails that wind through Esplanade and the rest of Lakewood Ranch, the largest master-planned "green-certified" community in the United States
