EverCreek at Lakewood Ranch is a planned Pulte Homes community in southeastern Lakewood Ranch. PulteGroup announced the purchase of its 464-acre site on June 10, 2026. The announced plan calls for 1,000 homes: 850 single-family homes and 150 townhomes. This is a new-construction community to watch if you are comparing Pulte homes with other Lakewood Ranch villages.

The announced homes range from 1,580 to 3,820 square feet under air, with two to five bedrooms, two to three-and-a-half bathrooms, and one- to three-car garages. Those are the overall planned ranges, not a promise that every layout or option is available. Confirm the floor plan, homesite, included features, and total purchase price for the specific home before making a decision.

Pulte announced an eight-acre lakeside amenity campus with a beach-entry resort-style pool connected to a lazy river, a firepit lounge, and a clubhouse with a fitness center and gathering spaces. The plan also includes pickleball courts with courtside shade structures, a dog park, playground, and event lawn. Nearly three miles of multi-modal trails are planned to connect directly to the wider Lakewood Ranch trail system. These are planned amenities, not a statement that they are open today.

EverCreek sits within the southeastern part of Lakewood Ranch, with access to the wider Sarasota area via Fruitville Road and University Parkway. Lakewood Ranch offers dining, shopping, and events at Main Street, Waterside Place, and The Green. When comparing homesites, look at your actual daily route and ask about construction activity, the order of amenity delivery, and the timing of future phases.

  • Janelle is fantastic. We recently were able to sell our home in one week at 1% over asking price. I believe that the professional photos and staging coupled with Janelle helping us price competitively led to this success. We closed in one month and are so very grateful for Janelle and her help with the sale of our property.
