Esplanade at Wellen Park at a glance
| Status | Now selling. Listed on the developer's Neighborhoods page as of November 10, 2026. |
|---|---|
| Builder | Taylor Morrison |
| Home types | Villas and single-family homes |
| Age | All ages |
| Gated | Not stated by the developer. Ask me and I’ll find out. |
| Where it sits | Far south of the community, in the area the developer's map labels unincorporated Sarasota County. Approximate, from the developer’s June 2026 master plan map, which isn’t to scale. |
| Mailing city vs. jurisdiction | Builder sales centers here use Venice, Florida or Englewood, Florida mailing addresses. Depending on the parcel, Wellen Park, Florida falls in the City of North Port, Florida or unincorporated Sarasota County, so I check each address. |
Heidi’s take
The developer describes concierge services and wellness programs here. Those are services, and services cost money every month. Ask what the association fee includes, line by line.

Checked November 10, 2026. I leave builder prices out on purpose, because they change often and rarely match what a finished home costs. Ask me and I’ll pull the real numbers for the specific home.
