If you've been eyeing new construction in Parrish, Florida, Prosperity Lakes should be at the top of your list. This sprawling master-planned community by Lennar spans approximately 1,070 acres and will feature more than 2,100 home sites when complete — making it one of the largest single-builder communities in all of Manatee County. Whether you're a first-time buyer looking for a townhome, a growing family ready for more space, or an active adult searching for your next chapter, Prosperity Lakes has a collection designed specifically for you.


As a local realtor who helps buyers navigate the Parrish and Bradenton market every day, I put together this comprehensive guide to help you understand everything Prosperity Lakes has to offer — from floor plans and pricing to amenities, schools, and how it stacks up against other Parrish communities.


What Is Lennar's "Everything's Included" Concept?

Before diving into floor plans and pricing, it's worth understanding what makes buying a Lennar home different from most other builders. Lennar's signature Everything's Included program means that upgrades and features most builders charge extra for come standard with every home at no additional cost. We're talking stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, upgraded cabinetry, LED lighting throughout, and smart home technology including a Wi-Fi-enabled thermostat, smart lock, video doorbell, and integrated home automation system.


This is a big deal because at many other builder communities, the base price you see advertised can climb significantly once you start adding the finishes and features that make a home feel complete. At Prosperity Lakes, what you see is what you get — everything is already included in the listed price.


Home Collections and Floor Plans


Prosperity Lakes offers an impressive selection of home types through multiple collections, giving buyers at virtually every price point a path to homeownership in this community. With 31 distinctive floor plans spread across seven unique collections, the range here is hard to match anywhere else in the Parrish market.


The Townhomes


Lennar's townhome collection is the most affordable entry point into Prosperity Lakes. These attached homes range from approximately 1,448 to 1,738 square feet and feature 3 to 4 bedrooms with 2 to 2.5 bathrooms. Pricing for townhomes currently starts in the low-to-mid $200s, making them an excellent option for first-time buyers, young professionals, or investors looking for rental potential in one of Manatee County's fastest-growing corridors.


The Manors


The Manors collection steps up to single-family detached homes offering more space and privacy. These homes range from roughly 1,555 to 2,582 square feet with 3 to 5 bedrooms and 2 to 3 bathrooms. Pricing starts from the mid-$300s. The Manors sit on traditional lots and offer open-concept layouts with the features and finishes Lennar is known for.


The Executives


For buyers who want even more room, The Executives collection delivers larger single-family homes with floor plans ranging from approximately 1,850 to 3,100 square feet and 3 to 6 bedrooms with 2 to 3 bathrooms. The Executives are designed for families who need flexible space — think bonus rooms, loft areas, and oversized primary suites. This collection represents the largest single-family homes in the all-ages portion of the community.


The Estates

Prosperity Lakes Tennis Courts

The Estates collection features spacious single-family homes ranging from roughly 2,300 to 3,326 square feet with 4 to 6 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. Pricing in The Estates typically starts from the low-to-mid $400s. If you want a true move-up home with generous lot sizes and premium everything-included finishes, this is the collection to explore.


Active Adult Collections (55+)


Prosperity Lakes also features a dedicated 55-plus section with its own exclusive amenity center. Active Adult buyers can choose from Active Adult Manors, Active Adult Villas, and Active Adult Estates, with homes starting from the low $300s. These homes are thoughtfully designed for low-maintenance living, with options ranging from paired villas to spacious single-family homes. All active adult homes include the same Everything's Included upgrades and smart home technology as the all-ages collections.


Community Amenities


One of the biggest draws at Prosperity Lakes is the amenity package — and there are actually two separate amenity centers serving different parts of the community.


The main all-ages amenity center features a stunning clubhouse, a state-of-the-art fitness center, a resort-style swimming pool with lap lanes and a water slide, a children's playground, tennis courts, pickleball courts, bocce ball courts, and miles of walking and hiking trails that wind throughout the community.


Active Adult residents enjoy all of the above plus access to their own exclusive amenity center, which includes a separate clubhouse with a full-service kitchen and bar, a dedicated fitness center, a pool and cabana area, green spaces, pickleball courts, a yoga studio, and year-round social programming and events tailored to the 55-plus lifestyle.


This dual-amenity approach is one of the features that sets Prosperity Lakes apart from other communities in the area. Both all-ages and 55-plus residents get resort-caliber facilities without having to leave the neighborhood.


HOA and CDD Fees — What to Expect


Like most new construction communities in Florida, Prosperity Lakes has both a Homeowners Association fee and a Community Development District assessment.


HOA fees for the all-ages sections run approximately $113 per month as of the latest published rates. Active Adult sections carry a higher HOA around $350 per month, which reflects the additional services included — exterior landscaping maintenance, exterior building insurance, high-speed fiber internet, and water usage for both interior and exterior.


The CDD assessment is a separate annual charge that appears on your Manatee County property tax bill. CDD fees fund the infrastructure that was built for the community — roads, water management, utilities, and amenity construction — and are typically financed through municipal bonds. The exact CDD amount varies by lot type and section. The current FY 2025-2026 adopted budget and assessment chart is publicly available on the Prosperity Lakes CDD website for buyers who want exact numbers for their specific lot type.


When evaluating total monthly costs, make sure you factor in both the HOA and CDD together alongside your mortgage to get an accurate picture of your carrying costs.


Schools Serving Prosperity Lakes


Families with school-age children will be glad to know that Prosperity Lakes is zoned for well-regarded schools in the Manatee County School District.


Elementary: Barbara A. Harvey K-8 — approximately 2.5 miles from the community


Middle: Buffalo Creek Middle School — approximately 5.1 miles from the community


High: Parrish Community High School — approximately 3.1 miles from the community


Parrish Community High School opened in 2019 and is one of the newest high schools in Manatee County. The rapidly growing Parrish area has also seen continued investment in school infrastructure, with new school construction and expansions keeping pace with the area's population growth.


Location and Accessibility

One of the biggest advantages of living at Prosperity Lakes is its location. The community sits just east of US-301 in Parrish, less than seven miles from both the I-75 and I-275 interchanges. That translates to easy commuting access to Tampa, St. Petersburg, Bradenton, Sarasota, and the Gulf beaches.


Downtown Bradenton is roughly 15 minutes south. Tampa International Airport is approximately 35 to 40 minutes north via I-75. Anna Maria Island and the Gulf beaches are about 30 minutes west. And for nature lovers, Little Manatee River State Park and Camp Bayou Outdoor Learning Center are both nearby.


Parrish itself has seen explosive growth in recent years, with new shopping centers, restaurants, medical facilities, and recreational amenities popping up throughout the US-301 corridor. You are no longer out in the country when you buy in Parrish — it has rapidly become one of the most desirable suburban markets in the entire Tampa Bay region.


Who Is Prosperity Lakes Best Suited For?


Prosperity Lakes casts a wide net — and that is by design. Here is who tends to be the best fit for this community.


First-time buyers looking for affordable new construction with modern finishes and smart home technology will find the Townhomes collection hard to beat on value.


Growing families will appreciate the range of single-family options in The Manors, Executives, and Estates collections, plus the family-friendly amenities and strong school zoning.


Active adults and retirees seeking a vibrant 55-plus lifestyle with dedicated amenities, social programming, and low-maintenance living have their own section with multiple home types to choose from.


Investors will note that Parrish is one of the fastest-growing markets in Florida, and new construction from a national builder like Lennar in a master-planned community tends to hold value well and attract strong rental demand.


How Prosperity Lakes Compares to Other Parrish Communities


Parrish has no shortage of new construction options, so here is how Prosperity Lakes stacks up against two other popular communities in the area.


Prosperity Lakes vs. North River Ranch


North River Ranch is the largest master-planned community in Parrish, featuring multiple builders including Pulte, Cardel, and Del Webb. North River Ranch offers on-site schools, a future hospital, and commercial retail. Prosperity Lakes is smaller in total scope but benefits from being a single-builder community with consistent quality and the Everything's Included value proposition. If having on-site schools and a wider variety of builder options matters most to you, North River Ranch may be the better fit. If you prefer the simplicity and value of an all-Lennar community with resort-caliber amenities, Prosperity Lakes delivers.


Prosperity Lakes vs. Silverleaf


Silverleaf is a more established gated community by Neal Communities, with homes that tend to sit at a higher price point. Silverleaf offers beautiful single-family homes and solid amenities, but it is a smaller community without a 55-plus component. Prosperity Lakes offers more diversity in home types, a lower entry price point with the townhome collection, and the dedicated Active Adult section — making it a better fit for buyers who want more options and flexibility.


Frequently Asked Questions About Prosperity Lakes


Is Prosperity Lakes a gated community? Yes. Prosperity Lakes is a gated community offering controlled access for added security and privacy. The Active Adult 55-plus section has its own separate gated entrance as well.


What is included in Lennar's Everything's Included package? Everything's Included means that popular design upgrades come standard at no extra cost. This typically includes quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, LED lighting, upgraded cabinetry, smart home technology such as a video doorbell, smart thermostat, and smart lock, and more. There is no need to visit a design center or negotiate upgrade packages.


How much are the CDD fees at Prosperity Lakes? CDD fees vary by lot type and section. The annual CDD assessment appears on your Manatee County property tax bill and covers infrastructure costs financed through municipal bonds. Specific assessment amounts for each lot type are available on the Prosperity Lakes CDD website at prosperitylakescdd.org.


Can I use my own realtor when buying at Prosperity Lakes? Absolutely. Lennar welcomes buyers who are working with their own real estate agent. Just make sure your agent registers you on your very first visit to the sales center so their representation is documented from the start.


What is the timeline to move in? Move-in timelines depend on inventory. Lennar typically has both quick move-in homes that are nearing completion and to-be-built homes where you select a lot and floor plan. Quick move-in homes can close in as little as 30 to 60 days, while to-be-built homes generally take 6 to 10 months.


Are there any age restrictions in the main part of the community? No. The all-ages sections of Prosperity Lakes including Townhomes, Manors, Executives, and Estates have no age restrictions. The 55-plus Active Adult section requires at least one resident to be 55 or older, per HUD guidelines.


If you are considering Prosperity Lakes or any new construction community in Parrish, I would love to help you navigate the process.
