Villas and condos along Rockley Boulevard and Center Road

Plantation covers roughly two and a half square miles built around Rockley and Wexford Boulevards, between Center Road and US 41, with Jacaranda Boulevard close by. Housing is mostly attached villas, low-rise condos and patio homes facing fairways and ponds, plus larger single-family houses on the golf course.

Villa and condo kitchens here are often galleys or L-shapes tucked against a shared wall, with a pass-through to the dining area. Shared walls limit how far plumbing can move, and many associations restrict structural changes outright. The productive work is usually inside the existing footprint: full-height pantries, drawer bases instead of shelves, a widened pass-through counter and better light. When the boxes are sound, refacing delivers a new look with less disruption to neighbors.

The community grew up with its two 18-hole courses, the Bobcat and the Panther, both laid out by architect Ron Garl; the Bobcat dates to about 1980. That puts the oldest villas past forty years, and their kitchens show it: oak doors on boxes with particleboard sides, a fluorescent light box in the ceiling and a soffit above the uppers. Replacing the light box with recessed and under-cabinet lighting is worth planning with the cabinets, since a licensed electrician handles that wiring.

Jurisdiction, roads and neighbors near the Jacaranda exit

With no city government of its own, Plantation falls to Sarasota County for permits, which a licensed contractor pulls whenever plumbing, wiring or structure changes. The association's approval is a separate step, and boards usually want drawings, a scope and proof that licensed trades will handle regulated work.

Install day in an attached villa is planned around the neighbors as much as the kitchen. We unload within the hours the association allows, carry cabinets through the front entry, keep shared drives and guest spaces clear and cut only where the rules permit. The requests we expect from Plantation are 1980s galley kitchens refaced or rebuilt, pull-out pantries in tight villa kitchens and a guest bath brought up to match. Dust stays inside the work area, because the next lanai is only a wall away.

We arrive by I-75 at the Jacaranda Boulevard exit or by US 41, and nearby service areas include Venice Gardens to the west and Warm Mineral Springs to the southeast.
