Both communities are in Manatee County: Woodbrook in Bradenton, which opened in November 2011, and Belleisle in Country Club East in Lakewood Ranch, which opened in February 2011. “Buyers have proven this is the perfect opportunity to purchase a new home in Florida,” Neal Communities President Pat Neal said in the release. “The market has steadily recovered since the openings of both Belleisle and Woodbrook, and buyers realize that the value in Florida real estate continues to increase as well.” Homes at Belleisle range from 1,594 square feet to 2,641 square feet, and prices start in the $220,000s.
