The Abbey is the cheapest way into Turnleaf. Lennar displays it from $231,999, the lowest published price from any of the community’s four builders. It is 1,263 square feet, three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a two-car garage on a single floor.
Small by Southwest Florida new-construction standards, and deliberately so. What it buys is a detached single-family home on its own lot — not a villa, not a townhome — at a price where the carrying costs, not the mortgage, are the number worth studying.

Specification and base price as displayed by Lennar on 14 August 2026, subject to change without notice. Base price excludes homesite premium, options and closing costs. Price per square foot is our calculation. The Coral Creek CDD assessment is additional. Ranked 1st cheapest of the 13 published plans.
Who it suits
A first purchase, a downsizer who wants no stairs and little to clean and cool, or anyone who would rather have a new-build warranty and current Florida Building Code construction than more square feet in an older home. It is a weak fit for a household that needs an office plus a guest room plus a bedroom, because at 1,263 square feet the third room does one job, not two.
The trade-off
The cheapest house on the list is the most expensive one per square foot. At about $184 a foot the Abbey costs more per foot than any other Lennar plan here — roughly $60 above the Jefferson. A kitchen, two bathrooms, a two-car garage, a slab and a roof cost much the same whether you wrap 1,263 square feet around them or 2,463.
The same problem has a second half. Turnleaf’s recurring costs are flat per home, not per square foot: Coral Creek CDD debt service of $799.87 to $2,399.61 a year, plus a flat monthly HOA fee. On an Abbey budget those fixed lines are a much larger share of the monthly outgoing than they are on a Teller.
Where it sits on the price ladder
The Belmont is the same 3 bed, 2 bath, single-storey configuration with 166 more square feet for $7,000 — about $42 per added foot, the cheapest incremental space on the 13-plan list. Unless the budget is fixed at the Abbey number, that is the first comparison to run.
What to ask before signing
- Whether the third bedroom takes a queen bed and a wardrobe with the door still opening. Ask for the dimensioned plan, not the rendering.
- Where the storage is. There are no basements here and an unconditioned Florida attic is not usable storage.
- Whether a covered lanai is standard or a priced option.
- The Coral Creek CDD debt service on the specific homesite — $799.87 to $2,399.61 per unit a year, varying by lot.
- The HOA fee in writing. Published Turnleaf figures run $88 to $292 a month, and the developer says to verify with the sales team.
Questions people ask
How much is the Lennar Abbey at Turnleaf?
Lennar displayed the Abbey from $231,999 on 14 August 2026. That is a base price for the plan and excludes the homesite premium, options and closing costs. Prices change without notice.
Is the Abbey the smallest home at Turnleaf?
It is the smallest of the 13 Lennar plans published for the community, at 1,263 square feet. Three other builders sell here and we have not compared every plan they offer, so we will not call it the smallest home in the community outright.
Are the amenities open at Turnleaf?
No. The amenity centre is under construction and no opening date has been announced by the developer or in any local press we could find, checked to August 2026. Lennar calls its current prices here “pre-amenity pricing” — the builder’s phrase. The trade-off inside it is that a buyer pays now for a facility with no published completion date.
