The long anticipated opening of Central Park is now scheduled for July 10, 2010!  Located on the east side of Lakewood Ranch Boulevard between SR 70 and SR 64, Central Park is Lakewood Ranch's newest village to open in the area and will include five distinct neighborhoods, each with their own personality.  Construction has already begun and sales are slated to begin July 2010.

Central Park will be exclusively single-family detached homes with tennis courts, a playground, dog park and other features drawing inspiration from New York’s Central Park.  Prices are planned to start from the mid $100s, and other builders are expected to participate in the construction.

In designing Central Park, the Neal Communities team thought back to the towns of their childhood, considering those things that made them memorable places, places where you felt safe to raise a family, go outside to walk or play, and enjoy the outdoors.

With an eye on renewing and building that important community connection, Central Park in Lakewood Ranch is designed with family in mind – providing those quality of life elements that streamline daily life and energy conservation that build quality of life, appeal and value.  And as the name implies, time to spend at the park -- those valuable moments that bring back laughter, encourage downtime and play time and allow for people to reconnect with themselves, family and friends. 

In Central Park, you will find today’s most updated and streamlined building quality together with integrity that comes from longstanding, award-winning builders who have helped shape many of Manatee County’s most respected communities.  From green built, energy and space efficient homes to the preservation and enhancement of the surrounding area that celebrates the Florida outdoor lifestyle, Central Park affords residents the opportunity to connect and define their sense of community.

Personal time is honored and respected through Central Park’s ideal location, offering easy access to life’s valued necessities, such as a respected elementary, middle and high school, outdoor sports venues, natural food and full-service grocery stores, shopping and professional services, health, medical and advanced schooling campuses.

Central Park will be built as a seamless extension of the current Lakewood Ranch community. Designed to be an inclusive neighborhood with something for everyone, it will have 800 single-family homes. The five separate neighborhoods will feature a range of floorplans to fit various lifestyles and price points. The centerpiece will be the grand park reminiscent of main street America where growing up meant being close to the park and your friends. The park will include shaded picnic areas, a covered pavilion, sports fields for baseball and soccer, and a children's adventure playground.
