Eastlyn is one of Bradenton’s newest boutique communities, having officially opened for sales and active construction in early 2026. Developed by David Weekley Homes, it is gaining traction for offering a quieter, smaller-scale alternative to the massive master-planned developments typically found in the Lakewood Ranch area.
Here is the current breakdown of the community for 2026:
Community Profile
- Builder: David Weekley Homes (exclusive).
- Size: A private enclave consisting of only 75 homesites.
- The Big Draw: It is a No CDD fee community with low HOA fees (approximately $121/month), which is rare for new construction in the 34212 zip code.
- Location: Situated off Rye Road, about 10 minutes east of I-75 and SR 64. It is roughly 4 minutes from grocery stores and 10 minutes from the Costco/Target shopping hub.
Home Pricing & Floor Plans
Base prices currently range from the low $400s to the mid-$500s, with quick move-in homes typically listing between $495,000 and $550,000 depending on upgrades.

Current Market Status (March 2026)
The community is currently in its active sales phase. There are several Quick Move-in Homes available for buyers looking to close by May 2026. David Weekley is also offering early 2026 incentives, such as design center credits and specialized financing rates (e.g., 7/6 ARMs as low as 3.99% for qualified buyers).
