Star Farms at Lakewood Ranch

One of the largest new communities in LWR — still building out.

Star Farms is one of the newest and largest communities in Lakewood Ranch, still actively under construction. When fully built out, it'll house over 4,000 homes across multiple phases. D.R. Horton is the primary builder. The community is designed around multiple amenity centers spread throughout, so each section of the development gets its own pool and rec facilities. A great option for buyers who want newer construction and don't mind living in a community that's still growing.
