Lakewood Ranch Real Estate

Here is an article from the Sarasota Herald Tribune about Sarasota's approval of 5,000 new homes in Lakewood Ranch. The new homes would be in Sarasota county instead of Manatee county. They are planning a village style community with higher density situated around commercial centers. This village style concept is designed to avoid suburban sprawl which leads to increased traffic. Many are concerned about what another 5,000 homes will do to the existing traffic congestion. The project is won't break ground for atleast 2 years. In the meantime the developer, Schroeder-Manatee Ranch, will come up with several options to alleviate any problems.

The village style community sounds great. I get numerous requests from people who want to live in areas that allow residents to walk to shopping, restaurants and entertainment.
