Southpointe is a master-planned new-construction community by M/I Homes on Moccasin Wallow Road in Palmetto, north Manatee County (M/I Homes community page, 2026). It sits close to I-75, US 41, and I-275, which is a core part of the pitch in one of the fastest-growing residential areas of north Manatee County.
The community offers both single-family homes and villas, so the buy splits into two products. Villas offer lower-maintenance living, while single-family homes add space, and the two carry different lot, plan, and price pictures. Community amenities include a resort-style pool and pickleball courts (M/I Homes community page, 2026).
Southpointe carries a Community Development District. The Southpointe of Manatee County CDD was established on July 27, 2023 under Chapter 190 of the Florida Statutes to fund and maintain community infrastructure (Southpointe of Manatee County CDD official site, 2026). That CDD assessment sits on the annual tax bill and belongs on the carrying-cost math, so confirm the exact line for the specific home and phase.
The pitch is new-build value plus access: a relatively low entry point for new construction in the Palmetto market, with I-75 and the US 41 and I-275 corridors close by. The work is choosing the right phase and lot, verifying the CDD line and any builder incentives, and reading the in-progress Moccasin Wallow Road widening as both a near-term construction factor and a long-term access upgrade.
