Pinestone in Palmer Ranch is a maintenance-free community that was developed in the late 20th century. This neighborhood was among the first to offer the convenience of a condominium lifestyle that follows the architectural guidelines and aesthetics of Palmer Ranch, which means that Pinestone dispenses with the idea of living in a high-rise tower.

The Pinestone community consists of three-level buildings arranged in a style reminiscent of Mediterranean row houses. This neighborhood is located next to the Potter Park YMCA sports complex and the Selby Aquatics Center; for this reason, Pinestone is very desirable for young families, although the maintenance-free lifestyle also attracts seasonal residents, retirees and busy single professionals.

The floor plans at Pinestone range from 1,000 to 1,500 square feet of interior space. As of mid-2015, nearly all available listings were priced under $200K, which is a very reasonable opportunity considering the quality of construction, the numerous amenities, the maintenance-free arrangement, and the excellent location. These units, which feature between two and three bedrooms, include handsome details such as granite counters, panoramic windows, alcoves, high ceilings, and others.

Of all the multi-family residential neighborhoods in Palmer Ranch, Pinestone is one of the best with regard to community amenities. Residents have access to a clubhouse that features a large swimming pool, a modern exercise facility, and a social lounge area. Other amenities include basketball and tennis courts, community gardens and a picnic area complete with outdoor grills.

Golf and tennis enthusiasts love Pinestone due to its proximity to golf courses and racquet clubs. The barrier islands of Siesta and Casey Key are about 20 minutes away, which means that residents get to choose between two gorgeous, white-sand beaches.
