Serenade condos for sale, Palmer Ranch, Sarasota, Florida

Serenade is one of the condominium residences on Palmer Ranch, a popular resource for Sarasota Florida real estate properties. This neighborhood is located in the northeastern side of the 10,000-acre enclave, just off Honore Avenue and Clark Road, two principal thoroughfares in the locality. The residences in this community were constructed in 1999 in three-story structures. Notably, only buildings as high are allowed under the Palmer Ranch master plan. This development tack enhances the suburban atmosphere in the twenty-five communities in the Palmer Ranch real estate development. The Serenade neighborhood, like its sister communities, was built amid an exquisitely developed lush tropical landscape, ponds, and lakes. The condominium units were designed as one to three-bedroom residences with floor areas ranging from 800 to 1,400 square feet. Many of the available properties can be found here with asking prices under the $100s and in the low $100s.

Among Palmer Ranch condos for sale, these homes are favored by investors seeking vacation rental properties and by young families. The location of this neighborhood is not only scenic but also conveniently close to schools, shops, restaurants and venues for life and leisure activities. Recreational facilities are available within the community itself. Among these are a clubhouse, two heated swimming pools, barbecue areas, tennis courts, and a kid’s playground. There’s also a car wash facility, and an electronically operated gate secures entry to the community. The other developments within Palmer Ranch serve as magnets to Serenade condos for sale. These include the golf and country club facilities at the TPC Prestancia, the Oaks and Stoneybrook. Counting in too are the tennis courts, fitness center, and junior Olympic pool at the Serendipity Racquet Club located at the Country Club of Sarasota, the first community to be developed in Lakewood Ranch. The Legacy Trail, a ten-mile route for joggers and cyclists, runs through part of Palmer Ranch. More outdoor activities are offered by several parks near the Serenade condominium complex. One of these is the Twin Lakes Park on Clark Road, home to several sports facilities such as baseball fields and basketball courts, in addition to areas for picnics, fishing, hiking, and bird-watching.
