Talk to a Specialist →Esplanade at Azario Lakewood Ranch is Taylor Morrison’s newest and largest Esplanade community in the area — 1,400 planned homes at Azario, Lakewood Ranch’s newest master-planned section. New construction active as of 2026. Priced from $300s to $1M+. Age-targeted. The Esplanade brand brings Italian-inspired amenities: full spa, Bahama bar, culinary kitchen, resort pools, pickleball, bocce, and an optional golf course.
The “optional golf” model is different from River Strand or Tara — golf is not mandatory at Azario. Buyers who want golf pay for membership; buyers who do not can enjoy all other amenities without the golf dues. This is a buyer-friendly structure that gives the community wide appeal.
Azario’s 18-hole golf course is available as an optional membership add-on. Non-golfers pay the standard HOA and access all amenities except the golf course. Golfers pay an additional monthly membership fee. This is the most buyer-friendly golf community structure in the Sarasota market — you only pay for what you use.
Lakewood Ranch is Manatee and Sarasota counties’ most complete master plan — its own Main Street district, Waterside Place, movie theaters, restaurants, grocery stores, and medical facilities. Lakewood Ranch Medical Center is within the master plan. For buyers who want to live in a self-contained town rather than a standalone community, Lakewood Ranch delivers that at a scale no other Florida active adult market matches.
