Southwest Florida’s premier private homebuilder, Neal Communities, has broken ground on a new community in eastern Manatee County.

Marisol, located on 39 acres near Lakewood Ranch’s northeastern sector, will include 172 paired villa homes. The community will feature a British West Indies and Coastal architectural theme. All of the villas are maintenance-assisted for worry-free upkeep. Two villa home styles ranging from 1,434 square feet and 1,524-square feet will be offered inside the new neighborhood.

The community will be conveniently located just outside of Lakewood Ranch’s borders on State Road 64. The homes will encircle a small lake, and some will have waterfront views from their lanais. The community also will have a private pool with bathroom facilities.

Marisol residents will enjoy the close proximity to Lakewood Ranch, a 50-square-mile community filled with shopping, dining, arts, entertainment, nature and recreation. State Road 64 also offers easy access to Bradenton, Holmes Beach, Anna Maria Island and I-75.

“We are happy to announce the start of construction of a new neighborhood in growing eastern Manatee County,” said Pat Neal, founder and CEO of Neal Communities. “These homes are perfect for those looking to right-size their living space in a maintenance-assisted community while still being close to all the area has to offer.”
