What’s in Meadowlawn?

Our Homes

The neighborhood consists mainly of single family homes. Chateaux Versailles Condominiums and Barkwood Square Condominiums are also located within Meadowlawn. Homes within the area are single family, mostly masonry, well-kept dwellings. Many older homes are being purchased and renovated by young families who grew up in Meadowlawn. They have returned to raise their own children in the neighborhood. As most of the older homes were well built, remodeling and additions are now being seen all over Meadowlawn. In 1995 and 1996, Hoyt Homes built many homes in Sawgrass Estates, the last vacant land in Meadowlawn. There are 2200 homes in Meadowlawn.
