Lexington: Community Amenities and Comfortable Living in Parrish

by Hunt Brothers Realty

Lexington is an established, deed-restricted community in Parrish, Florida, offering detached single-family homes and attached residences among lakes, sidewalks and shared recreation. Current community information identifies a swimming pool with splash area, pickleball or tennis facilities, basketball court, playground and walking areas. Lexington is not gated and is not identified as a 55+ community. Because association obligations and tax assessments can differ by property type and parcel, buyers should verify the exact home's HOA dues, maintenance responsibilities and current tax bill before purchasing.

Quick Answers About Lexington in Parrish

Where is Lexington?

Lexington is in Parrish in northern Manatee County, near the U.S. 301 corridor. Its location provides road access toward Interstate 75, Bradenton, Lakewood Ranch and other parts of Manatee County, although actual travel times depend on traffic and the destination.

What types of homes are in Lexington?

Lexington includes detached single-family homes as well as attached housing commonly described as villas or townhomes. Current property records show a range of one-story and two-story designs, attached garages and home sizes extending from smaller attached residences into larger detached homes.

Is Lexington gated?

No. Current community information identifies Lexington as a non-gated Parrish neighborhood.

What amenities does Lexington have?

Current sources identify a community swimming pool with a splash area, pickleball or tennis facilities, basketball, playground, walking areas and neighborhood lakes. Buyers should verify current amenity availability, access rules and operating policies with the association.

Does Lexington have an HOA?

Yes. Florida corporate records confirm Lexington Homeowners' Association, Inc. is active and was formed in 2003. Buyers should obtain the current governing documents, budget, assessment information and rules applicable to the specific property.

Does Lexington have a CDD?

Publicly available sources conflict on this question. Several community websites describe Lexington as having no CDD, while current MLS records for individual Lexington parcels identify a CDD or other annual assessment. Buyers should review the current Manatee County tax bill for the exact parcel and verify what each non-ad valorem assessment represents.

Is Lexington a 55+ community?

No current community information identifies Lexington as a 55+ age-restricted development. Buyers should still review current governing documents for any occupancy provisions applicable to the property.

Is Lexington still new construction?

Lexington is primarily an established resale community. Current property sources generally show homes built from the mid-2000s into the 2010s, although construction year should be confirmed for each residence.

What Is Lexington in Parrish?

Lexington is an established residential development in Parrish with a combination of detached homes, attached residences, neighborhood lakes and shared recreation. Florida Division of Corporations records show that Lexington Homeowners' Association, Inc. was formed on April 24, 2003 and remains active.

That development period places Lexington between some of Parrish's older neighborhoods and the large wave of newer master-planned construction that has expanded across northern Manatee County.

Lexington's combination of a pool, sports recreation, sidewalks and lakes gives buyers shared amenities without the larger clubhouse and fitness complexes found in communities such as Harrison Ranch, Forest Creek and Silverleaf.

What Are the Homes Like in Lexington?

Lexington provides more housing variety than a neighborhood consisting entirely of detached single-family homes. Current real estate and property records identify detached houses, townhome-style residences and villas within the broader community.

Current property sources show residences from approximately 1,200 square feet into the low 3,000-square-foot range. This is a neighborhood-level observation rather than a guaranteed size range, and buyers should use the actual living area reported for the property they are considering.

Depending on the residence, buyers may encounter:

Detached single-family homes
Attached villas or townhome-style residences
One-story and two-story floor plans
Attached garages
Screened lanais on selected homes
Private swimming pools on selected detached properties
Lake or pond views on selected homesites
Conservation or landscaped views on selected properties

Because Lexington is an established resale community, renovation level and major system condition can vary significantly between homes built during similar periods.

What Amenities Does Lexington Have?

Lexington's amenity program is centered on outdoor recreation rather than a large resort clubhouse complex. Current community and MLS sources consistently identify several shared recreational features.

Current amenities include:

Community swimming pool
Splash or water-play area
Pickleball facilities
Tennis facilities identified in current property records
Basketball court
Playground
Walking areas and sidewalks
Interior lakes and ponds
Landscaped common areas

Current sources are inconsistent about whether Lexington has a conventional resident clubhouse. Because a clubhouse is not consistently established by the strongest current community information, buyers who consider that facility important should verify it directly with the HOA rather than assuming one is included.

Does Lexington Have a Pool and Splash Area?

Yes. Current MLS and community information consistently identifies a neighborhood swimming pool and splash or water-play area as central Lexington amenities.

The community also provides nearby playground and sports recreation, creating a more concentrated outdoor amenity package than Parrish neighborhoods with only a playground or small common area.

Amenity availability, hours, guest policies and rules can change. Owners and prospective buyers should confirm current policies with the Lexington HOA or its management company.

Are There Pickleball, Tennis and Basketball Courts?

Yes, current sources identify court recreation within Lexington. Pickleball and basketball are consistently reported, while current MLS property records also identify tennis facilities.

Court configurations and permitted uses can change as associations adapt existing facilities, so buyers with a strong preference for a particular sport should confirm the current setup rather than relying on an older listing description.

What Are the Lakes in Lexington Like?

Interior lakes and ponds are integrated throughout Lexington, and selected homes have water-oriented views. These water features contribute to open space and stormwater management within the neighborhood.

A lake-view home in Lexington should not be confused with navigable waterfront property. Buyers should not assume boating rights, private dock rights or unrestricted recreational use based simply on a residence backing to a neighborhood pond.

Does Lexington Have an HOA?

Yes. Lexington Homeowners' Association, Inc. is an active Florida not-for-profit corporation. Florida Division of Corporations records show the association was filed on April 24, 2003.

The association is responsible for community governance and common-area matters under its current governing documents. Individual listings also identify HOA assessments and recreational facilities as part of the ownership structure.

Before purchasing, buyers should review:

Current HOA assessment
What the assessment includes
Current budget and financial information
Any approved or proposed special assessments
Architectural requirements
Parking provisions
Pet rules
Leasing restrictions
Amenity access rules
Maintenance responsibilities for the specific housing type

Current assessments and rules can change, so an older listing should not substitute for current association documents and property-specific information.

Do Lexington Villas Have Different HOA Costs?

They can. Current listings for attached Lexington residences show association costs and included maintenance that can differ substantially from those reported for detached single-family homes.

For example, current property records for some attached residences identify maintenance of the structure or grounds among included association services. That should not be generalized to every Lexington property.

Attached-home buyers should establish who is responsible for the roof, exterior walls, landscaping, windows, doors, driveways and other components. Questions involving legal responsibility under the governing documents should be reviewed with a qualified Florida real estate attorney or other appropriate legal professional.

Does Lexington Have a CDD?

This is one area where buyers should rely on the specific parcel rather than a general community description. Several current neighborhood websites describe Lexington as having no CDD. However, current MLS records for individual Lexington properties identify a CDD or other annual assessment, including recent records showing a separate annual assessment amount.

Because those public descriptions conflict, it would be misleading to state that every Lexington property either has or does not have a CDD without parcel-level verification.

Before making an offer, buyers should obtain the latest Manatee County tax bill and identify each non-ad valorem assessment. If an assessment is described as a CDD, stewardship district or another special assessment, verify the responsible entity, current amount, purpose and whether a debt component exists.

For background on how these districts generally work, Hunt Brothers Realty's guide to CDD fees in Florida explains the difference between CDD assessments and private HOA dues.

How Does Lexington Compare With Other Parrish Communities?

Lexington occupies a useful middle ground between Parrish neighborhoods with minimal shared recreation and larger master-planned communities with extensive clubhouse complexes.

Community	General Character	Primary Distinction
Lexington	Established, non-gated community with varied housing	Pool, splash area, sports courts, playground, walking areas and lakes
Harrison Ranch	Large established master-planned community	Large clubhouse, pool, fitness center, extensive trails and active CDD
Forest Creek	Gated, nature-oriented established community	Clubhouse, resort pool, fitness, dog parks, trails, lakes and active CDD
Silverleaf	Newer completed gated master-planned community	Modern resales, villas, resort amenities, preserves and active CDD
Kingsfield	Older established single-family neighborhood	Pool, playground, basketball and no CDD currently reported

These comparisons describe community features rather than rank neighborhoods. Buyers can explore Hunt Brothers Realty's detailed guides to Harrison Ranch, Forest Creek, Silverleaf and Kingsfield.

What Should Buyers Inspect in Lexington?

Because Lexington is primarily a resale community, buyers should evaluate the condition of the individual property rather than relying on its construction year alone.

Depending on the home, appropriate inspection may include:

Roof age and condition
HVAC equipment
Electrical system
Plumbing system
Windows and exterior doors
Drainage and grading
Private swimming pool and equipment, when applicable
Renovations and available permit history
Association-maintained components for attached residences

Inspection findings should be evaluated with the appropriate licensed inspector, contractor, engineer or other qualified professional before the buyer makes a property-specific decision.

What Should Buyers Ask About Insurance?

Insurance should be investigated early, particularly when comparing an attached Lexington residence with a detached single-family home. The coverage structure and owner responsibilities may differ depending on the association and property type.

Buyers should obtain property-specific quotes and determine what coverage, if any, is provided through an association policy. Roof age, wind mitigation features, construction characteristics, prior claims and other property details can affect insurance availability and cost.

Insurance availability, coverage, deductibles and premiums can vary substantially by property. Buyers should review coverage with a qualified insurance professional before making a purchasing decision that depends on insurance cost or availability.

What About Flood Zones in Lexington?

Lexington's lakes and ponds should not be used to infer the FEMA flood designation of an individual property. Flood zones and elevation conditions can vary by parcel.

Buyers should check the current FEMA map for the exact property and obtain property-specific insurance information when flood coverage or lender requirements could affect the purchase. Flood-zone designation and hurricane evacuation planning are separate issues and should be evaluated independently.

What About Schools Near Lexington?

Recent property records commonly identify Barbara A. Harvey Elementary or K-8, Buffalo Creek Middle and Parrish Community High in connection with Lexington addresses. School boundaries can change as northern Manatee County grows.

Buyers should verify the assigned schools for the exact address directly with the School District of Manatee County. School information is provided for location planning only and is not an evaluation or representation of school quality or performance.

Who Might Consider Lexington?

Lexington may deserve consideration from buyers looking for:

An established Parrish neighborhood
Detached homes and attached housing options
A community swimming pool
A splash or water-play area
Pickleball, tennis or basketball recreation
A neighborhood playground
Walking areas and sidewalks
Interior lakes and water views on selected properties
A resale alternative to Parrish new construction

Buyers who require gated access, an on-site fitness center or a large resort-style clubhouse may prefer to compare Lexington with communities such as Forest Creek, Silverleaf or Copperstone.

Is Lexington Worth Considering?

Lexington offers an established Parrish setting with a useful collection of recreational amenities and more housing variety than many traditional single-family subdivisions. Its pool, splash area, sports courts, playground, walking areas and lakes provide neighborhood recreation without requiring the scale of a large resort-style amenity complex.

The most important buyer consideration is that not every Lexington property should be treated identically. Attached and detached homes can have different HOA costs and maintenance responsibilities, while publicly available information about CDD or other special assessments is inconsistent.

A useful comparison should therefore consider the exact home's purchase price, HOA assessments, tax bill, insurance, maintenance obligations, physical condition and the amenities the buyer expects to use.
