Chartwell Green is a small condominium community built in 1982 inside The Meadows, the Taylor Woodrow planned community in north Sarasota off Honore Avenue. British developer Frank Taylor and Taylor Woodrow bought the former ranchland in the early 1970s and spent roughly two decades building villas, condos, townhouses, and single-family homes across more than 1,000 acres, with golf, lakes, and trails as the organizing idea (Meadows Community Association history; Sarasota News Leader, 2026).
The community sits on Taywood Meadow, with low-rise buildings overlooking a pond and the Meadows golf land. The Chartwell Green association is documented in The Meadows condominium records, and the units are compact one and two bedroom homes, the kind of maintenance-light condo that draws seasonal owners, downsizers, and value buyers who want the Meadows lifestyle without a single-family yard (Meadows Community Association condo documents).
Because this is a condo inside a master community, the money is made or lost on the association reserves, the building condition, and the two fee layers, not on a headline price. Florida condo buyers now have to read the reserve study and the structural reporting carefully, so the diligence here is the association, the budget, and the building.
The pitch is the Meadows setting at the condo entry point: mature oaks, lakes, and trails, with downtown Sarasota and the University Town Center retail district both a short drive away. The watch item is the unresolved future of the Meadows golf land, which has been the subject of a 2026 dispute and lawsuit that buyers should understand before they fall for the setting.
