How Azario - Esplanade compares

From the county records

$900,000

Median of 767 recorded sales since October 2023, the middle eighty percent between $512,000 and $1,600,000.

64%

Of the 1,222 matched residential units here claim a homestead exemption, which reads as most homes here are claimed as a permanent residence.

Still delivering. 55% of the parcels here were completed in the last three years, the most recent in 2025.

Arm’s-length sales recorded with Manatee County, read October 2026. Quitclaims, foreclosures, family transfers and pre-construction sales are excluded. Homestead requires the property to be a permanent residence, so the share carrying one is reported here as a share of matched residential units rather than as a count of who lives here. Homestead is a tax filing, not an occupancy count. A rented home can house full-time residents and will never carry the exemption, and an owner who lives here but never filed does not appear in it either. Read it as what share of matched residential units claim the exemption, not as who lives here.

At an estimated $9,059 a year in combined HOA and CDD, Azario - Esplanade sits about 53% above the Lakewood Ranch median of $5,923, ranking 33 of the 39 Lakewood Ranch communities whose fees this site tracks.

Governing Documents

HOA & community documents for Azario - Esplanade

4 documents from the community development or stewardship district that covers Azario - Esplanade and linked to the page each one lives on. Nothing is copied here, so you read whatever they publish today. No association documents have been located for Azario - Esplanade yet, which is a gap in what has been found rather than evidence there are none.

District documents

A community development or stewardship district is a unit of local government, not an association. Its assessment is billed with your property taxes rather than by the association, and its rules are public records of a different kind. Shown separately for that reason.

Lakewood Ranch Stewardship District

Why it applies to Azario - Esplanade: The district names each community it covers in its own FY2027 adopted assessment schedule or, where a community carries no bond debt, in its adopted FY2027 operations and maintenance budget. It levies two separate yearly assessments, a bond debt service assessment and an operations and maintenance assessment.

The governing body is known and nothing it publishes is public. That is a gap in what has been published, not evidence that the community has no restrictions. This list records what has been found in public, not everything that governs the property. Before an offer I pull the full document set for the specific address along with the association’s budget and financials.

Azario - Esplanade FAQ

Does Azario - Esplanade have new construction homes?+

Yes, Azario - Esplanade is actively building in Lakewood Ranch. Builder pricing and incentives change often, so I can send the current list and represent you with the developer. What fee you owe, if anything, is set out in the written buyer-broker agreement we sign before touring; developer registration rules are confirmed for your specific purchase. Loop me in before your first model visit.

Who builds homes in Azario - Esplanade?+

Azario - Esplanade is built by Taylor Morrison. Two things matter if you are buying new here. Register your agent on the FIRST visit: most builders pay the buyer-agent fee, but only if representation is declared before you tour, and afterwards it is usually too late. And a builder's contract is their contract, not the standard Florida form, so the deposit terms, the completion date and what happens if the build runs late are worth reading closely.

How much do homes in Azario - Esplanade cost?+

The published price guidance for Azario - Esplanade is an estimate in the $500s, $2M+ range, not a live listing feed or a valuation. Pricing varies by the specific home, condition and lot. Ask me for current listings and recent comparable sales before setting an investment range or an asking price.

What kind of homes are in Azario - Esplanade?+

Azario - Esplanade offers single family & villas, with floor plans of 2 to 4 bedrooms. Attached homes carry an association that maintains the building itself, so the fee covers more than it would on a single-family home and the association's reserves matter to you directly. What a specific home includes, and what the association maintains, is set out in that community's documents and is worth reading before an offer rather than after.

Is golf membership required at Azario - Esplanade?+

Golf at Azario - Esplanade is bundled, which means the membership runs with the home rather than being optional: you pay for it whether or not you play. Bundled communities usually cost less per round for an active golfer and more for someone who does not play at all, so it is worth being honest about how much golf you actually expect. Confirm the current dues and exactly what the membership includes in writing before an offer, because these change.

What amenities does Azario - Esplanade have?+

Azario - Esplanade offers 18-hole bundled championship golf, deeded, Wellness spa & culinary center, Resort pool & Bahama Bar, Pickleball & tennis courts, Full-time Lifestyle Director & concierge, among others. Worth separating two things that often get blurred together: amenities the HOA maintains and which every owner pays for, and club or golf facilities that may require a separate membership on top. Which category each amenity falls into determines your actual annual cost, and it is set out in the community documents rather than in any listing.

What have homes in Azario - Esplanade actually sold for?+

767 arm's-length sales have been recorded in Azario - Esplanade since October 2023, at a median of $900,000. The middle eighty percent of those sales fell between $512,000 and $1,600,000, which is a better guide to the range than the extremes. These are prices recorded with Manatee County, not asking prices, so they describe what buyers and sellers actually agreed. Figures read October 2026; quitclaims, foreclosures and family transfers are excluded.

Do people live in Azario - Esplanade year round?+

64% of the 1,222 matched residential units in Azario - Esplanade claim a homestead exemption, which Florida grants only on an owner's permanent residence, read from the Manatee County roll in October 2026. That reads as most homes here are claimed as a permanent residence. Homestead is a tax filing, not an occupancy count. A rented home can house full-time residents and will never carry the exemption, and an owner who lives here but never filed does not appear in it either. Read it as what share of matched residential units claim the exemption, not as who lives here.

Is Azario - Esplanade still being built?+

The most recent home the county records in Azario - Esplanade was completed in 2025, across 1,561 platted parcels of which 1,222 carry a finished home. 55% of its parcels were completed in the last three years, so Azario - Esplanade is still being delivered: expect construction nearby, and the lot choice that comes with it. Build year matters more in Florida than buyers expect, because insurers weight roof age heavily and it drives what a property costs to carry rather than just what it costs to buy.

Does Azario - Esplanade have a CDD fee?+

Yes. Azario - Esplanade carries an estimated CDD assessment of $1,648 - $2,501, on top of an HOA fee estimated at $5,585 - $8,384 yearly. A community development district assessment can have two components, and they behave differently: debt service repays the bonds that funded the roads, drainage and amenities, and ends when those bonds are retired, while an operations and maintenance charge pays to run what the bonds built and does not. Both are billed with your property taxes rather than by the association, and both are separate from the HOA. Assessments are set annually and vary by home and phase, so confirm the current components for the specific address.
