About Stonegate Preserve
Palmetto · Manatee County, Florida
Stonegate Preserve is a Lennar community — and Lennar's 'Everything's Included®' program sets it apart from competitors: appliances, smart home features, window blinds, and premium finishes are included in the base price. There's no separate design studio invoice that surprises buyers at contract. What you see in the model is what you get at the base price — a transparent value proposition that helps buyers compare total cost of ownership accurately.
Lennar's product tiers span Essential through Luxury and Estate, with NextGen® floor plans (a separate in-law suite with private entrance) available in select communities. Lennar is also one of Florida's most active master-plan developers, often controlling the underlying land in its communities — reducing third-party risk for buyers and giving Lennar more flexibility on phasing and pricing.
Stonegate Preserve is located in Palmetto, Manatee County — I-75 connects Manatee County to Tampa (~45 min north) and Sarasota (~25 min south). US-301 runs through Parrish toward I-275. The Manatee–Hillsborough county line is the primary growth boundary for Tampa suburban expansion. The area's employment and lifestyle context makes Palmetto a practical choice for buyers who want Tampa proximity at more competitive new construction pricing.
Builder Incentives & Current Offerings
Lennar incentives typically include closing cost assistance through Lennar Mortgage, design studio credits on spec homes, and periodic rate buydown programs. NextGen® floor plans are available in select Lennar communities for buyers who need multi-generational housing solutions.
