Aria by Neal Signature Homes: What to Know Before You Tour the Models

Aria is a gated Neal Signature Homes community at 340 Aria Dr, Nokomis, FL 34275 — Nokomis mailing address, though the builder markets it as Venice. It sits on Jacaranda Boulevard just past Border Road, off I-75 Exit 193, on 152 acres with 196 single-family homes. Neal Signature Homes is the builder's upper-tier brand, and Aria is priced and built accordingly.

As of mid-2026, Neal Signature Homes has announced final opportunities at Aria — only a handful of homes remain. If Aria is on your list, the window for new construction here is closing. Call us before you visit the sales center.

Before You Visit the Sales Center

Buyers who walk into a new construction sales center without an agent may lose the right to representation through the building and closing process. There's no cost to you for buyer representation. Reach out before you go: [email protected] or (330) 317-6912.

What Aria Is

152 acres, 196 homes, 24-hour monitored gated entry. Italian-inspired architecture with street names to match — Bocelli, Rossini, Corelli. Many homesites back to lakes or nature preserves. No CDD fee; HOA only. The amenity campus includes a resort-style pool, spa, fitness center, pickleball courts, event lawn, and clubhouse with indoor and outdoor gathering spaces.

Every home comes standard with 12-foot ceilings, a pool on the lanai, and granite countertops throughout. Gas cooking is standard. The HOA handles lawn mowing, mulching, and flower bed maintenance — a meaningful carrying cost consideration for buyers comparing communities.

Homes range from 2,252 to 3,681 square feet. Pricing on remaining inventory starts from the mid $800s.

The Floor Plans

We toured four models in the order below, followed by a full tour of the clubhouse. The complete walkthrough is in the video above.

Ravenna — 3,004 sq ft | 3–4 bed | 2.5 bath | 3-car garage The first model we toured and one of the more distinctive plans in the community. Includes a dedicated Club Room — a separate bonus space off the main living area suited for a home theater, billiards table, or media setup. Den with double French doors functions as a private office or can be converted to a fourth bedroom. Great room connects to gourmet kitchen and dining area. Primary suite has two walk-in closets, soaking tub, walk-in shower, and private water closet. Optional fourth bedroom available.

Positano — 2,561 sq ft | 3–4 bed | 2.5–3.5 bath | 3-car garage The three-car garage is standard at this square footage. Available with up to four bedrooms and additional bath configurations. For full layout details, ask to see this plan specifically when you visit the sales center.

Cortina — 2,455 sq ft | 3 bed | 2–2.5 bath | 2–3 car garage One of the more straightforward plans in the lineup — three bedrooms, open great room with views to the lanai, gourmet kitchen with large island and corner pantry. Primary suite with oversized walk-in closet, dual vanities, and wall-to-wall walk-in shower. The two additional bedrooms share a second full bath on the opposite side of the home.

Vicenzo — 2,412 sq ft | 3–4 bed | 2–4.5 bath | 3-car garage The most flexible plan in the community. Optional configurations include a wine room and an in-law suite with a separate exterior entry — the in-law option adds a mini kitchen, full bath, and small living area accessible from the front walkway without going through the main house. Primary suite has two walk-in closets, soaking tub, walk-in shower, and dual vanities. Three-car garage standard.

For a comparison at a lower price point, we've also toured Vicenza by Neal Communities — the standard Neal brand in the same zip code, with a larger community and fuller amenity campus. For buyers who want a smaller, lower-HOA alternative, Legacy Groves by Pulte is worth a look.
