In this episode of Jim Sells the Suncoast, Jim welcomes Brock Blaney from DR Horton to spotlight Solara—a new construction community in Lakewood Ranch that blends affordability, convenience, and access to top-tier amenities. With homes starting in the low $400s, this neighborhood is nearing its final phase and offers a golden opportunity for families, first-time buyers, and investors looking to make a move before it’s sold out.
From walkable green spaces and pond-front homes to easy financing and resort-style perks, Brock shares why Solara is one of Lakewood Ranch’s best-kept secrets—but not for long!
