Prices currently range from approximately $305,000 to $523,000, and every home comes with Lennar's Everything's Included package — meaning upgrades like granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, smart home technology, and designer finishes are included in the base price with no hidden costs.


Active Adult Villas — Starting in the Low $300s


The Active Adult Villas are attached single-family homes that offer the easiest entry point into the community. At approximately 1,486 square feet, these single-story villas include three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and an attached two-car garage. The Malibu floor plan is a standout in this collection, featuring an open-concept layout with a spacious owner's suite, a private bathroom with a walk-in closet, and a versatile flex space that can serve as a home office, hobby room, or guest quarters.


The villa collection is ideal for buyers who want a lock-and-leave lifestyle with minimal exterior maintenance, making it perfect for snowbirds or anyone who values simplicity without sacrificing comfort.


Active Adult Manors — Starting in the Mid $300s


The Active Adult Manors step up in size, ranging from roughly 1,683 to over 2,200 square feet. These single-family homes offer two to three bedrooms, two to three bathrooms, and attached two- or three-car garages. Floor plans in this collection include the Meridian and the Splendor.


The Meridian is the collection's only two-story option, centered on convenience with a first-floor flex room and an open-concept living area that flows to an expansive lanai. The Splendor offers generous single-story living with a thoughtful split-bedroom layout and plenty of natural light throughout.


Active Adult Estates — Starting in the Low $400s


The Active Adult Estates represent the largest homes in the 55-plus section, with floor plans reaching up to approximately 2,775 square feet. These homes feature three bedrooms, two to three bathrooms, and three-car garages. The Argent floor plan is a highlight of this collection — a spacious single-story design that emphasizes convenience with a versatile flex room, a gourmet kitchen with an oversized island, and an open floor plan that connects the main living areas seamlessly.


Estate-sized homes are perfect for buyers who want extra room for entertaining, hosting overnight guests, or simply enjoying more space in their day-to-day life.


About the Builder: Lennar


Lennar is one of the most recognized homebuilders in the United States, with decades of experience building communities across Florida. What sets Lennar apart is their Everything's Included program, which bundles high-end features and finishes into the base price of every home. That means granite or quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, smart home automation, energy-efficient windows, and designer-selected cabinetry and flooring are all standard — not upgrades you pay extra for.


Lennar also offers a streamlined buying process. They have in-house mortgage, title, and insurance services, which can simplify and speed up closing. For buyers who are tired of hidden costs and upgrade negotiations, Lennar's transparent pricing model is a major draw.


Exclusive 55+ Amenities at Prosperity Lakes Active Adult

Prosperity Lakes Clubhouse

One of the biggest advantages of choosing Prosperity Lakes Active Adult over other 55-plus communities in the area is the exclusive, gated amenity center built specifically for active adult residents. This is not a shared facility — it is reserved for the 55-plus neighborhood and designed to support an active, social lifestyle.


The amenity center includes:


  • Clubhouse with multiple meeting areas, an art room, and social gathering spaces

  • Two swimming pools including a resort-style pool and a resistance pool for lap swimming and aqua fitness

  • Full-service restaurant and bar with indoor and outdoor dining, so residents can enjoy a meal without leaving the community

  • State-of-the-art fitness center with cardio and strength equipment, plus a dedicated group fitness room for yoga, Pilates, and other classes

  • Pickleball and bocce ball courts — two of the fastest-growing sports among active adults

  • Outdoor theater and event area for movie nights, live entertainment, and community gatherings

  • Walking and biking trails winding through the community's natural green spaces and preserves

  • Tailored lifestyle programming including social clubs, organized outings, fitness classes, and seasonal events

HOA and CDD Fees


Like most new construction communities in Florida, Prosperity Lakes Active Adult has both a Homeowners Association (HOA) fee and a Community Development District (CDD) assessment.


HOA Fees: Approximately $350 per month. This covers common area maintenance, landscaping, access to amenities, and community management. There is also a separate club membership fee that provides access to the dining and social programming at the amenity center.


CDD Fees: The CDD assessment is not a separate monthly bill — it is included in your annual property tax statement from Manatee County. CDD fees fund the infrastructure that was built to develop the community, including roads, utilities, drainage, and conservation areas. CDD assessments typically run for 20 to 30 years and are a standard part of buying in a master-planned Florida community.


When budgeting for your monthly housing costs, be sure to factor in the HOA, CDD, property taxes, and homeowner's insurance to get a complete picture. Your real estate agent can help you estimate these costs based on the specific home you are considering.

One of the advantages of Prosperity Lakes' location in Parrish is that everyday conveniences are just a short drive away, even though the community itself feels peaceful and removed from the bustle of a bigger city.

For a more upscale shopping and dining experience, Gateway Commons is an 83,000-square-foot retail center just down the road. Additional shopping, restaurants, and services line US 301, the main commercial corridor through Parrish.


Medical and Healthcare: Residents are close to several healthcare providers, including Manatee Memorial Hospital, Lakewood Ranch Medical Center, and PrimeHealth Urgent Care. The Sarasota-Bradenton metro area also offers a wide range of specialist offices and outpatient centers.


Dining and Entertainment: US 301 is home to a growing number of restaurants, cafes, and local eateries. The onsite restaurant at the Prosperity Lakes clubhouse also gives residents a convenient option for dining without leaving the neighborhood.
