The Lakewood Ranch master-planned community in Sarasota and Manatee County, Fla., has partnered with Zilber Residential Group to open its first single-family for-rent community, Estia at Lakewood Ranch.
The community will offer 230 residences total, including 102 one-bedroom, 725-square-foot units inside 51 duplex structures and 128 stand-alone, 1,000-square foot two-bedroom homes. The homes are under construction and expected to be available this fall, with a clubhouse expected to open this summer.
“We’re thrilled to introduce one of Florida’s first premium, single-family for-rent communities here in Lakewood Ranch and expand upon the variety of housing options available to our prospective residents,” says Kirk Boylston, president of Lakewood Ranch Commercial, in the statement. “For many renters, these new units will serve as strong starter homes and a potential stepping stone to ownership of a more traditional, single-family home in Lakewood Ranch.”
