Central Park: Family-Centered Living Around Lakewood Ranch's Premier Park

Welcome

Welcome to Central Park, where community living revolves around a magnificent 10-acre central park in the heart of Lakewood Ranch. This award-winning neighborhood village by Neal Communities and Partners puts family-friendly amenities at your doorstep, creating an environment where neighbors become friends and everyday life feels like a celebration of community spirit.

Neighborhood Character

Central Park stands as one of Lakewood Ranch's most thoughtfully designed communities, with six distinct sub-neighborhoods arranged around the spectacular central amenity that gives the village its name. This park-centric design has earned recognition for best community design, creating a unique living experience where every home enjoys easy access to expansive green space and recreational facilities. The multigenerational appeal attracts both growing families and empty nesters who appreciate the walkable community atmosphere and strong sense of belonging.

Housing Options

Central Park offers exclusively single-family homes with impressive variety in both size and architectural style. Home options range from cozy two-bedroom cottages around 1,000 square feet to spacious four-bedroom family homes exceeding 3,000 square feet. Builders including Neal Communities, Cardell Homes, and Lee Weatherington have contributed to the diverse architectural landscape, featuring Craftsman, Mediterranean, and contemporary styles. This variety ensures that whether you're a first-time buyer or looking to upsize, Central Park likely has a home that fits your lifestyle and space requirements.

Pricing and Fees

Current resale homes in Central Park range from the mid-$400,000s for smaller properties to approximately $800,000 for the largest homes with pools on premium lots. The median sales price falls in the mid to upper $500,000s, largely reflecting the popularity of three-bedroom configurations. Homeowners benefit from moderate HOA fees of approximately $150 monthly, plus a Community Development District (CDD) fee typical for newer Lakewood Ranch villages. These fees support the maintenance of the expansive park system and community infrastructure that make Central Park so special.

Amenities & Lifestyle

The crown jewel of Central Park is its stunning 10-acre central park, designed to bring the community together every day. Residents enjoy two dedicated dog parks sized for both large and small pets, a children's splash park for cooling off during Florida's warm months, and a covered pavilion perfect for birthday parties and gatherings. The park also features a large playground, sports fields, tennis courts, and meandering walking paths that see daily use by joggers, families with scooters, and dog walkers. This central amenity hosts regular community events ranging from holiday celebrations to farmers markets, fostering the neighborly connections that define Central Park living.
