How Azario - Park East compares
From the county records
$690,000
Median of 95 recorded sales since October 2023, the middle eighty percent between $554,000 and $893,000.
72%
Of the 95 matched residential units here claim a homestead exemption. Homestead is filed the year after a purchase, so a community this newly built reads low for reasons that have nothing to do with who lives here. Treat this one as not yet settled.
Still delivering. 93% 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 $4,352 a year in combined HOA and CDD, Azario - Park East sits about 27% below the Lakewood Ranch median of $5,923, ranking 7 of the 39 Lakewood Ranch communities whose fees this site tracks.

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.

Azario - Park East FAQ
Who builds homes in Azario - Park East?+
Azario - Park East 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 - Park East cost?+
The published price guidance for Azario - Park East is an estimate in the $500s, $1M+ 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 - Park East?+
Azario - Park East offers single family, with floor plans of 3 to 6 bedrooms. As single-family housing, the roof, the exterior and the insurance on the structure are yours rather than an association's, which is the main practical difference from a villa or condominium. 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.
What amenities does Azario - Park East have?+
Azario - Park East offers Taylor Morrison award-winning construction, Pool, clubhouse & fitness center, Pickleball & sport courts, 3 to 6 bedroom floor plans, Shared Azario campus amenities, 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 - Park East actually sold for?+
95 arm's-length sales have been recorded in Azario - Park East since October 2023, at a median of $690,000. The middle eighty percent of those sales fell between $554,000 and $893,000, which is a better guide to the range than the extremes. Azario - Park East is new enough that most of these are original builder sales rather than resales, so they read as a price list more than as a resale market. 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 - Park East year round?+
72% of the 95 matched residential units in Azario - Park East 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. Read that figure with care here: Florida homestead is filed the year after a purchase, so a community still being delivered reads lower than it will settle at. 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 - Park East still being built?+
The most recent home the county records in Azario - Park East was completed in 2025, across 102 platted parcels of which 95 carry a finished home. 93% of its parcels were completed in the last three years, so Azario - Park East 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 - Park East have a CDD fee?+
Yes. Azario - Park East carries an estimated CDD assessment of $1,752, on top of an HOA fee estimated at $2,600 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.
What flood zone is Azario - Park East in?+
The flood zone recorded for Azario - Park East is X. Zones beginning A or V are the higher-risk categories, where a federally backed mortgage generally requires flood insurance, while zone X is lower risk and coverage is usually optional. Flood zone is assigned per property rather than per community though, and elevation can change both the requirement and the premium substantially, so get the zone and the elevation certificate for the exact address rather than relying on a community-level figure.
