Polo Run Lakewood Ranch FAQs

Every home in Polo Run includes leased rooftop solar panels through Lennar's SunStreet technology company. During daylight hours, your home draws electricity from solar collection, and any excess energy is sold back to Florida Power & Light as a credit on your account. At night or during heavy usage, your home automatically switches to conventional grid power.
Homeowners pay a reasonable monthly lease fee for the solar equipment (with no upfront installation costs), but this is typically offset by dramatically reduced electric bills. SunStreet maintains the solar panels.

Yes, Polo Run is completely maintenance-free. The HOA handles lawn mowing, landscaping, irrigation, common-area upkeep, pool maintenance, and recreational facility management.

This maintenance-free structure, combined with solar-powered energy savings, creates exceptional long-term value. Keep in mind that Polo Run, like all Lakewood Ranch communities, has CDD (Community Development District) fees that appear on annual property tax bills to cover infrastructure costs.

Polo Run students attend three highly rated Manatee County public schools:

- B.D. Gullett Elementary School
- R. Dan Nolan Middle School
- Lakewood Ranch High School

All three schools consistently receive strong ratings and are known for excellent academics, athletics, and extracurricular programs. The schools are accessible within minutes from Polo Run.

Polo Run is Lakewood Ranch's first and only completely solar-powered community, setting it apart from every other neighborhood in the master plan. Built using Lennar's "Everything's Included" philosophy, homes combine Lennar's construction quality with energy efficiency, gated security, maintenance-free living, and resort-style amenities, all at price points that remain competitive compared to newer Lakewood Ranch construction.

Many Polo Run homes already feature private pools and spas, but homeowners can add pools, subject to HOA approval and Manatee County permitting. The HOA has specific guidelines regarding pool placement, screening, fencing, and setbacks from property lines, so it's essential to review these restrictions before purchasing if a pool is a priority.

Some lots have more favorable configurations for pool additions than others. The gated community also features a resort-style community pool with lap lanes, so residents can enjoy swimming even before adding a private pool. Mike Novak can help identify homes with existing pools or lots well-suited for future pool installation.
