Indigo is a gated, island-resort style senior living community in Lakewood Ranch, Bradenton, Florida, that opened in May 2015 and features maintenance-free single-family and twin villa homes designed in Island, Spanish, Tuscan, and Country French styles, with homes ranging from 1,407 to nearly 3,000 square feet, including several model choices like the Sea Star with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a three-car garage, and prices starting at around $259,990. The grounds have preserved oak trees, tropical landscaping, and walking paths, while resort amenities include a $1.6 million clubhouse called Club Indigo, a fitness center, a movement studio, a sparkling pool with cabanas, bocce and pickleball courts, an arts room, a game room, and a wellness center, plus there's a dedicated spa and sauna for residents to use. Indigo has a full-time Activities Director who plans social clubs, wine nights, book clubs, classes, movie nights, community events, outings, and gatherings for different interests, making it easy for residents to find things to do right in their neighborhood.
Dining options are broad, including restaurant-style and all-day dining, prepared by professional chefs, with attention given to allergy-sensitive or diabetes-friendly meals. In-room amenities like cable TV, Wi-Fi, private bathrooms, kitchenettes, air conditioning, and furnishing options give comfort and convenience, while housekeeping, laundry, and move-in coordination services add more help for daily life. Residents have access to personal care and support services, medication management, a 24-hour call system, and assistance with daily living needs, plus there are options for assisted living, memory care, nursing, respite care, and independent living.
The community sits near parks, wildlife preserves, shopping, and Florida beaches, offering the feeling of being tucked away but close to things folks might want, and is built by Neal Communities, known for their attention to landscaping with mature oaks left standing and their organized housing series like Classic, Cove, Cruise, and Coral. The recreation center, Indigo Oasis, is exclusive to villa homeowners, and there's plenty of parking and transportation services for getting around.
Indigo runs age-restricted, focusing on people 55 and over who're looking for an easy, active life with a maintenance-free home, club room and café kitchens for events, poolside gatherings like Wine Down Wednesday, and a calendar full of activities to join. Community services include concierge, family support, and even classifieds and local advertisements, along with practical features like emergency alert systems, library, arts, and music programs, health observation, and fitness and wellness rooms. The newest homes are available for move-in this fall, and people can schedule tours online or in person to see model units, with virtual options on their website for convenience.
