What is it like to work near Sarasota with Neal Communities?
Sarasota is the cultural and commercial center of Florida's Suncoast, and it sits between the two markets where Neal Communities is most active: the fast-growing east county corridor along Fruitville Road and University Parkway, and the coastal communities south along US-41. Most Sarasota-based team members split their week between our Lakewood Ranch headquarters, model homes and sales centers in the field, and active job sites, so the work is rarely confined to a desk.
How far is Sarasota from Neal Communities' headquarters?
Downtown Sarasota is roughly 20 minutes from Neal Communities' corporate office at 5800 Lakewood Ranch Blvd North (Sarasota, FL 34240). Fruitville Road and University Parkway both connect directly to I-75, and the headquarters sits just off Lakewood Ranch Boulevard, so the drive avoids downtown congestion. Field and construction roles are assigned to communities across Sarasota and Manatee counties, so many team members report to a neighborhood rather than the office.
Which Neal Communities jobs are hiring near Sarasota right now?
Openings near Sarasota typically include corporate positions in accounting, purchasing, marketing, IT and human resources at headquarters, plus construction management, warranty/customer care and new home sales roles at communities across Sarasota County. Every position is on-site in Southwest Florida and is posted on our live job board, where you can filter by location and apply in a few minutes.
