Overview of Grand Park

About Grand Park

Grand Park is a master-planned community of new homes east of I-75 in Sarasota. It sits off Ibis Street south of Clark Road, a few minutes from Exit 205, with lakes, green space and trails running through the neighborhoods.

Two builders sell here now. Neal Communities builds single-family homes and 2 story townhomes, and M/I Homes builds 1 and 2 story single-family homes from about 2,136 to 3,835 square feet with 2 to 4 car garages. Finished homes from earlier phases also come up as resales. Prices over the last two years have run about $343,000 to $1,300,000.

The amenity center includes a clubhouse, a fitness center, two pools with cabanas, pickleball and tennis courts, and walking and biking trails with lake overlooks. Clark Road leads west to Siesta Key and the beaches, and Myakka River State Park is to the east.

If you plan to buy new here, please call me before you visit a model or register on a builder's site. Most builders accept a buyer's own agent only when the agent registers the buyer on the first visit, and I want to be sure you have my representation from the start.

What to know before you buy in Grand Park

  • I will confirm the HOA and any CDD fees, what they cover, and whether a transfer fee applies at closing.
  • Please call or text me before you visit a model home or register on a builder's website, so that I can represent you.
  • If you may want to rent the home out, I will review the rental and lease rules with you.
  • We will look at drive times to work, to SRQ, and to the beaches at the hours you would actually travel.

Buying in Grand Park? I would be happy to walk you through everything before you make an offer. Email me or call me at (813) 394-3313.

New construction in Grand Park

Please call or text me before you visit a model home or register on a builder's website. In most new construction sales the builder pays my fee, so having me on your side usually does not change the price, and most builders accept your own agent only when that agent registers you on your first visit or first contact.

  • Janelle did a great job selling our house. We have worked with 4 realtors over the past 19 years in FL, and she was by far the best. She is very knowledgeable about the real estate market, and was great at communicating with us throughout the sales process. Her responses to our emails and texts were very detailed and timely.
