Parrish community slated to bring over 4,600 residences

New homes will become available in north Manatee County by the end of the year in a newly announced master-planned community. 

The Parrish community, Oakfield, was announced by Tampa-based real estate firm Eisenhower Property Group. The firm has about 17,000 residential units currently under development across Florida. 

“Our vision of Oakfield is a community that celebrates the natural features of the land with accessible open spaces, a diversity of family parks and a network of interconnected trails throughout the entire site,” president and CEO Jeffery Hills says in a release. “Oakfield will truly reflect the natural environment that people come to Florida to enjoy.”

The community will be located east of Interstate 75 on Moccasin Wallow Road and span more than 1,900 acres. It’s expected to bring in 4,000 single-family residences and 600 multifamily units in the form of single-family homes, town homes, villas, apartments and build-to-rent neighborhoods.

A nature trail network will connect a 40-acre lake, a central club facility, pools, sports courts and other anticipated amenities. The landscape architect on the project is St. Petersburg’s Booth Design Group Inc. with Hunter Booth at the helm.  

Home sales are expected to begin later this year.
