Willowbrook Real Estate in Palmer Ranch | Sarasota, FL

Willowbrook homes for sale sit in Palmer Ranch, Sarasota, a gated and maintenance-free neighborhood of 66 residences that Lee Wetherington built out between 2000 and 2002. You’re close enough to Osprey and Venice for an easy drive south, though most days you’ll lean on nearby Costco, the Legacy Trail, and a beach run to Siesta Key in under twenty minutes. The HOA handles your yard care here, there’s no CDD tacked onto your tax bill, and the community carries a quiet, established feel that newer builds nearby can’t match.

Many homesites back to a protected greenbelt, so you’ll get lake views and regular wildlife sightings from your own yard. Pets are welcome with some breed restrictions, and the HOA allows leasing after a three-month minimum. Families land in good school zones too, with Pine View School for the gifted just up the road.
