If you're searching for a gated community in Lakewood Ranch that combines resort-style amenities, top-rated schools, and quality construction, Mallory Park deserves a spot at the top of your list. Built by DiVosta Homes — a PulteGroup brand with more than 70 years of Florida homebuilding experience — Mallory Park is a fully built-out community of approximately 436 single-family homes and townhomes across 179 acres, including 36 acres of lakes and wetland preserves.

Located between Lakewood Ranch Boulevard and Lorraine Road off SR-64, just two miles east of I-75, Mallory Park offers one of the most convenient locations in the broader Lakewood Ranch master plan. Whether you commute to Sarasota, Tampa, or work remotely, this community puts you close to everything without sacrificing the quiet of a gated neighborhood.

Community Overview

Mallory Park was built between 2016 and 2021 and is now fully built out, meaning every home on the market is a resale. The community features Mediterranean and French countryside architectural styling with front porches on every home, creating a cohesive and inviting streetscape. Controlled gated access provides security and privacy for residents.

DiVosta Homes is known for concrete block stucco (CBS) construction, which offers durability and can result in lower insurance premiums compared to frame construction — a significant consideration in coastal Florida. The builder earned a 4.1-star average homeowner rating and uses its Build Quality Experience program to maintain construction standards.

Home Types and Floor Plans

Mallory Park offers six distinct product lines with 18 or more floor plans, giving buyers a wide range of options from starter townhomes to spacious executive estates.

Manor Series (52 Homesites)

The Manor Series provides a solid entry point into single-family living in the community, with homes ranging from approximately 1,542 square feet and up. These homes are ideal for first-time buyers, young couples, or anyone looking for low-maintenance single-family living within a gated community.

Traditional Manor (52 Alley-Loaded Homesites)

The Traditional Manor series features alley-loaded garages, which means the garage faces the rear of the home rather than the street. This design creates a cleaner, more pedestrian-friendly streetscape and maximizes curb appeal.

Premier Series (75 Homesites)

The Premier Series steps up in size and features. These homes offer more living space and upgraded standard features, making them popular with growing families. The Summerwood model is a standout in this series — ranging from 1,861 to 3,070 square feet with 2 to 5 bedrooms and 2 to 4 bathrooms. It's a one-story design with an optional upstairs loft and an open kitchen featuring a center island.

Traditional Premier (72 Alley-Loaded Homesites)

Similar to the Traditional Manor, these homes feature alley-loaded garages but at the Premier level, offering more square footage and upgraded finishes.

Estate Series (66 Homesites)

The Estate Series represents the top tier of single-family living in Mallory Park. These homes can reach up to 4,242 square feet with as many as 6 bedrooms. The Citrus Grove model is particularly notable at 2,885 square feet with 4 to 5 bedrooms, 2.5 to 4 bathrooms, the owner's suite on the first floor, and a flexible den or flex space.

Townhomes

Mallory Park's townhomes offer approximately 1,800 square feet across 2 to 3 stories with 2 to 4 bedrooms and alley-loaded garages. These are an excellent option for downsizers, investors, or first-time buyers who want access to the full suite of community amenities at a lower price point.

Amenities

The amenity package at Mallory Park rivals communities at significantly higher price points. Residents enjoy a zero-entry resort-style pool with lap lanes, a clubhouse with a community gathering room and catering kitchen, and a state-of-the-art fitness center. Outdoor amenities include pickleball courts, tennis courts, a basketball court, a fire pit seating area, a playground, and a dedicated dog park.

Walking and jogging trails wind through the community's lakes and preserves, and nearby Bob Gardner Community Park adds two additional dog parks, nature trails, sports fields, disc golf, and playgrounds.

Schools

One of Mallory Park's strongest selling points is its school zoning. B.D. Gullett Elementary holds a 9 out of 10 rating on GreatSchools with approximately 1,314 students in pre-K through 5th grade and consistently earns 4 to 5 stars on SchoolDigger. Dr. Mona Jain Middle School scores an 8 out of 10 on GreatSchools with 77 percent math proficiency, 68 percent reading proficiency, and ranks in the top 20 percent of Florida middle schools. Lakewood Ranch High School earns 4 out of 5 stars on SchoolDigger and ranks 200th out of 844 Florida high schools.

HOA and CDD Fees

Monthly HOA fees range from $250 to $459 depending on lot type. The HOA covers lawn maintenance, irrigation, common area upkeep, gated entry maintenance, pool maintenance, and amenity access. The Community Development District (CDD) assessment ranges from $1,200 to $4,500 per year and appears on the annual tax bill as a non-ad valorem assessment. The CDD covers roads, stormwater management, landscaping, and infrastructure maintenance.

Average annual property taxes on Mallory Park Avenue run approximately $5,300 in Manatee County. Florida's homestead exemption can reduce taxable value by up to $50,000 for primary residents.

Location and Commute Times

Mallory Park sits just 9.1 miles from Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport (SRQ), roughly a 12-minute drive. Tampa International Airport is 55 to 70 minutes via I-75. University Town Center (UTC) Mall is a short drive off I-75, Downtown Bradenton is about 15 minutes west, and Downtown Sarasota and Siesta Key are approximately 20 minutes southwest. Lakewood Ranch Main Street — with its dining, shopping, and entertainment — is nearby.

Why Choose Mallory Park?

Mallory Park stands out for its combination of value, location, and quality. At $204 per square foot, it offers a lower cost basis than many newer Lakewood Ranch villages that price at $250 or more per square foot. The CBS construction by DiVosta provides durability and potential insurance savings. Top-rated schools, resort-level amenities, and a gated setting round out the package.

For buyers comparing communities, Greyhawk Landing is another excellent gated option in Lakewood Ranch with larger lots and a different amenity profile.
