The award-winning Lakewood Ranch is an 8,500 acre master-planned community encompassing all aspects of residential and commercial development. Seven residential villages offer a variety of lifestyles from townhomes to estate living. Recreational facilities include the Lakewood Ranch Country Club and Athletic Center, 54 holes of Championship golf, the Sarasota Cricket Club, nine world-class polo fields and a variety of community parks, lakes and nature preserves. The community also features fabulous shopping, dining and excellent schools and healthcare facilities.

Lakewood Ranch was voted "Best Neighborhood" by the readers of Sarasota Magazine, and was recently designated a Green Community by the Florida Green Building Coalition. Lakewood Ranch is the largest master-planned community in the state to achieve this important designation.

Lakewood Ranch is located on the county line of Sarasota and Manatee on Florida's west coast.
