What You'll Learn

If you're searching for a Florida lifestyle community that offers more than just beautiful homes, Taylor Morrison's Esplanade communities deserve a closer look. Designed around connection, wellness, recreation, and hospitality, these thoughtfully planned resort communities have become some of Florida's most desirable destinations for retirees, active adults, seasonal residents, and anyone seeking a vibrant everyday lifestyle.

In this guide, we'll explore what makes the Esplanade brand unique, why Florida is a great setting for these communities, and highlight several featured Esplanade communities you can explore on PrivateCommunities.com.

What Is the Esplanade Lifestyle?

Esplanade Lifestyle

Homebuyers today are looking for much more than square footage or curb appeal. Increasingly, they're choosing communities that make it easy to stay active, build friendships, enjoy new experiences, and spend more time doing what they love.

That's the philosophy behind Taylor Morrison's Esplanade collection.

Rather than simply building neighborhoods with amenities, Esplanade communities are designed around a lifestyle. Beautiful homes are complemented by thoughtfully planned clubhouses, fitness centers, dining venues, resort pools, walking trails, sports courts, wellness programming, and an active calendar of social events that encourage neighbors to connect.

Many Esplanade communities also feature championship golf, full-service spas, culinary experiences, and professionally managed lifestyle programming, creating an atmosphere more commonly associated with a private club than a traditional residential development.

The result is a community where recreation, wellness, and everyday living come together in one carefully curated experience.

A Hospitality-Focused Experience Powered by Troon

One of the defining features of many Esplanade communities is Taylor Morrison's collaboration with Troon, a globally recognized leader in golf, club, hospitality, and property management.

Known for managing premier golf clubs and private destinations around the world, Troon helps deliver consistent, high-quality operations across many Esplanade communities, supporting everything from golf and dining to wellness programming, resident events, concierge services, and club operations.

This partnership allows residents to enjoy an elevated level of service while helping ensure amenities remain professionally managed and continually evolving to meet homeowner expectations.

For buyers, it represents another layer of confidence that the lifestyle being promoted today will continue to be thoughtfully maintained for years to come.
