Award-Winning Community
“Best Master Planned Community in America”
Beyond the stunning beauty, premier location and quality amenities that come with home ownership in University Park, residents enjoy a myriad of experiences and opportunities to engage socially that set this community uniquely apart and offer significant benefits to our owners.
University Park is a safe, gated community with 24-hour, live controlled access by an on-site management team.
Our community is governed by two resident boards overseeing the planning and operation of the community and the club. A strong balance sheet with substantial audited reserves and focused management of ongoing improvements and upgrades including a $2.5 million dollar renovation of the clubhouse, upgrades to the self managed sewer system and a new community landscape master plan.

Rich History
In late 1980 local developer Pat Neal and International entrepreneurs Rolf and Barbara Pasold, purchased 300 acres of pristine low pine flatwoods owned by State Farm insurance agents that was used as a hunting preserve. Painstaking planning of this 1,200 home master-planned community took nearly 5 years and the developers’ commitment to the preservation of the natural beauty of the property is still evident today and a tribute to the founding fathers.
Exceptional Lifestyle
University Park residents enjoy a vibrant and socially engaging lifestyle just minutes from the arts and dining in downtown Sarasota and world class beaches and recreation including Nathan Benderson Park. Club membership brings residents together on the golf course, tennis and pickleball courts and dining at our soon to be completed, fully renovated Clubhouse.
