Talk to a Specialist →Esplanade on Palmer Ranch is Taylor Morrison’s premium Sarasota County Esplanade community — 650 homes built between 2016 and 2021, now resale-only. Located on Palmer Ranch — Sarasota’s most established master-planned area with Legacy Trail access, Sarasota Memorial Hospital nearby, and Siesta Key Beach approximately 10 minutes away.
Priced from $400s to $1M+ in resale. The Esplanade brand delivers the full Italian-inspired amenity package: full spa with treatment rooms, Bahama bar, resort pool, fitness center, pickleball, bocce, and a culinary kitchen for cooking events. No golf at this location — Palmer Ranch Esplanade is purely lifestyle-focused without the golf infrastructure.
Palmer Ranch (Sarasota County, ~0.85% tax rate) vs Lakewood Ranch (Manatee County, ~0.88% tax rate) — the tax difference is minimal. The real difference is geography: Palmer Ranch is inside Sarasota County, minutes from Siesta Key and downtown Sarasota. Lakewood Ranch is northeast of Sarasota, farther from the Gulf beaches but with its own complete master plan infrastructure.
For buyers who specifically want beach proximity (Siesta Key consistently ranks #1 on U.S. beach lists), Palmer Ranch Esplanade wins on location. For buyers who want the self-contained LWR town lifestyle, the Lakewood Ranch Esplanade communities win.
