Palisades on Palmer Ranch: Intimate Villa Living in Sarasota's Heart

Welcome

Welcome to Palisades on Palmer Ranch, where maintenance-free villa living meets the warmth of a close-knit community in Sarasota. This exclusive gated enclave offers the perfect blend of convenience and connection, providing an ideal home base for those seeking the best of Florida's Gulf Coast lifestyle.

Neighborhood Character

Palisades stands as one of Palmer Ranch's most intimate and welcoming communities. With just 43 maintenance-free villa homes built by MPS Development from 1998 to 2000, this gated neighborhood creates a true sense of community where residents genuinely know and care for one another. The limited size fosters meaningful connections and friendships, making it particularly appealing to those who value a tight-knit neighborhood atmosphere over large, impersonal developments.

Housing Options

The villas in Palisades showcase thoughtfully designed floor plans perfect for comfortable Florida living. Residents can choose from two to four bedroom configurations, all featuring the maintenance-free villa lifestyle that eliminates exterior home care worries. These well-built homes offer spacious layouts ideal for both full-time residents and seasonal visitors who want to lock and leave without concerns. The villa design maximizes both privacy and community connection, with comfortable living spaces that flow naturally for entertaining and relaxation.

Pricing and Fees

Palisades represents excellent value within Palmer Ranch, with an average list price around $550,000 and recent sales ranging from $490,000 to $620,000. This pricing positions the community as an accessible option for quality Palmer Ranch living. Homeowners should anticipate HOA dues typically ranging from $500 to $700 monthly, which covers the comprehensive lawn care and maintenance of all community grounds and amenities, truly delivering on the promise of hassle-free living.

Amenities & Lifestyle

The community features thoughtfully planned amenities designed to bring neighbors together. Residents enjoy access to a clubhouse equipped with a catering kitchen and party room, perfect for hosting gatherings and community events. The outdoor spaces include a barbecue grill area for casual get-togethers and a large heated pool that serves as the social heart of the community. The HOA's comprehensive coverage of all lawn care means residents can focus on enjoying their homes and building relationships with neighbors rather than worrying about maintenance tasks.
