Prosperity Lakes Active Adult is the age-restricted 55-plus section of Lennar's Prosperity Lakes master plan in Parrish, in north Manatee County off US 301 north of the Manatee River. Lennar began building the broader Prosperity Lakes community in 2023, and the active-adult section adds a gated, lower-maintenance lifestyle for residents 55 and older (Lennar and 55places community pages, 2025 to 2026).
The homes come in three collections. Villas are attached, single-story, low-maintenance homes in the roughly 1,500 square foot range; the manor single-family homes run larger, into the mid-2,000s; and the estate homes are the largest plans, into the high-2,000 square foot range, with two or three bedrooms and attached garages (Lennar and 55places floor plan data, 2025 to 2026). All are new construction on a Lennar Everything's Included basis, so the major finish decisions are made for you.
Amenities for the active-adult section center on a private resident club with a fitness center, a resort-style pool, and pickleball, with the broader Prosperity Lakes master plan adding shared recreation. Confirm which amenities are exclusive to the 55-plus section and which are shared, and how the dues split, before you buy.
The pitch is a brand-new, low-maintenance 55-plus address in one of Manatee County's fastest-growing corridors, with easy reach to I-75, Bradenton, the Gulf beaches, and Sarasota Bradenton International Airport. The work is choosing the right collection and lot, and verifying the HOA dues and the CDD assessment that ride on a master-plan community like this.
