Notice that Lakewood Ranch in Bradenton/Sarasota is right there at #2. The biggest difference in homes, at least, is that Lakewood Ranch is comprised of many communities built by different developers. You've got a couple of 55+ communities (Del Webb and Kolter), and several other non-age restricted communities, as well - all part of the Lakewood Ranch master planned area. It's inland, but still close enough to the beaches (e.g. Siesta Key). Not far from I-75.
