Property investors who made the wise choice of acquiring real estate in Parrish in recent years are certainly enjoying how this section of Manatee County has developed. The opening of the Fort Hamer Bridge connecting Parrish with Lakewood Ranch has added momentum to residential and commercial development in the area, which makes Silverleaf a very smart investment at this time.

Silverleaf Parrish is a large gated community developed by Neal Communities, a home builder that has completed various Lakewood Ranch villages. The initial phases of construction consisted of four series of single-family homes: Celebration, Cruise, Cottage, and Coral. There were 17 floor plans to choose from; they start with two-bedroom and two-bathroom models featuring 1,079 square feet of interior space starting at $335K in late 2024. The larger models offer four bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms built on more than 2,600 square feet; these properties can be negotiated for less than $575K. With more than six lakes and various nature preserves, many home buyers will get a nice view when they purchase at Silverleaf. Latest pricing at Silverleaf Parrish will be found below if there is inventory.

The home designs selected by Neal Communities for Silverleaf combine the Mediterranean look seen in many Lakewood Ranch villages with Caribbean and Key West architectural styles. These newer homes offer more living space than comparable properties elsewhere in Manatee County. The community recreation center includes a swimming pool, gym, clubhouse, covered picnic area, barbecue grills, a dog park, and a basketball court.

Silverleaf is a great investment by virtue of its location, which is growing in an organic fashion. Residents already enjoy the convenience of the nearby Shops at Silver Leaf, a commercial district with a new Publix supermarket and various stores. A new Walmart Supercenter is under construction, and the Fort Hamer Bridge offers easy access to Main Street at Lakewood Ranch along with many shopping and entertainment options.

Property values at Silverleaf are bound to continue appreciating as this section of Parrish continues to expand; for this reason, home buyers should take action now.
