About Sunrise Preserve

Sarasota · Sarasota County, Florida

Sunrise Preserve is a new construction HOA community in Sarasota by Meritage Homes offering mid-range homes, currently selling. Gated energy-efficient community with resort pool in Sarasota.

Meritage Homes builds every home to ENERGY STAR certification — and the M.Connected Home® automation package is standard, not an upgrade. Meritage's focus on spray foam insulation, efficient HVAC systems, and low-E windows delivers meaningful operating cost savings over the life of the home. Utility savings can offset a portion of the monthly payment when modeled at full ownership cost.

Location context: Sarasota County is served by I-75, US-41 (Tamiami Trail), and SR-72. Wellen Park and North Venice communities access I-75 at Exit 191 (~30 min to Sarasota downtown; ~45 min to Tampa). Englewood communities are ~45–60 min from Sarasota via US-41 or River Road.

Builder Incentives & Current Offerings

Builder incentives — including rate buydowns, closing cost assistance, and design studio credits — vary by phase and market conditions. A specialist familiar with Meritage Homes's current Sarasota County programs can confirm what's available before your first visit to the sales office.

Important: Register your buyer's agent before visiting the sales office — this step protects your right to professional representation at no cost to you.
