Park East at Azario FAQ

Who built the homes in Park East at Azario?

Taylor Morrison built Park East at Azario. Lakewood Ranch counted it among the villages that opened in 2021, and the homes date from 2021 to 2025. Taylor Morrison still sells new homes in Esplanade at Azario, a separate neighborhood in the same village.

How is Park East different from Esplanade at Azario?

Both are Taylor Morrison neighborhoods in the Azario village. Esplanade at Azario is sold under the builder's Esplanade brand, while Park East is a separate single-family neighborhood. I will request the Park East association documents so you can see exactly which amenities your dues include.

What kinds of homes are in Park East?

Park East is all single-family homes. Plans include four and five bedroom homes, the larger ones around 3,500 square feet, and some sit on pond or conservation homesites. Taylor Morrison plan names such as the Abaco appear here.

What should I check before buying a resale in Park East?

I recommend reviewing the association budget and fee schedule, checking whether the home carries a community development district assessment on the tax bill, and confirming the home's flood zone with Manatee County. It is also wise to ask whether any builder warranty coverage remains on homes finished in 2024 or 2025, and I am happy to gather all of this for you.

  • 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.

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. She was also very proactive with recommendations on how to get our house ready for sale, and she went above and beyond to make sure our house was sparkling clean and staged appropriately to make sure our house stood out compared to others.
