Trevesta is a gated, master-planned community in northern Manatee County near Palmetto and Ellenton, located off Moccasin Wallow Road about a mile southeast of the I-275 interchange, between Tampa and Sarasota (trevesta.com and the Trevesta CDD, 2025 to 2026). The community is organized as a Community Development District covering roughly 411 acres around Lake Trevesta.
This is a new-construction community rather than an established resale market. National and regional builders have been active here, including M/I Homes, Pulte, and David Weekley Homes, with both single-family homes and townhomes in the lineup (builder community pages and trevesta.com, 2025 to 2026). Because homes are new and sold through several builders, the floor plan, lot, and builder matter as much as the address.
The amenity package is the draw: a clubhouse with a fitness center, a zero-entry resort-style pool, a splash area, and trails and open space along the lake (trevesta.com and the Trevesta CDD, 2025 to 2026). A dedicated lifestyle program runs community events, the kind of amenity-dense feel that separates a master plan from a plain subdivision.
The honest work in Trevesta is the carrying cost and the comp. A CDD assessment sits on the tax bill in addition to HOA dues, so the all-in monthly is higher than the list price implies, and that has to be confirmed for the exact parcel. The pitch is a gated, amenity-rich new build in a fast-growing north Manatee corridor; the diligence is the builder, the lot, and the fee math.
