The community comprises 1,250 residences (956 single-family homes and 294 condominiums) on a site positioned 30 minutes from downtown Sarasota and the beaches, with convenient access to I-75. Of the 1,250 lots, 821 are deeded to Golf Membership, providing priority golf privileges funded by annual Golf Assessments. Property prices range from approximately $499,900 to $1,348,000 for single-family homes, and seasonal rentals range from $5,000 to $18,000 per month.

Golf operations are managed through an affiliation with Troon, providing reciprocity across Troon's worldwide network of premier golf resorts and powering an online pro shop.

Esplanade operates on a bundled golf and social club membership model integrated with property ownership. Revenue is generated from HOA/community fees, annual Golf Assessments on deeded lots, food and beverage, spa and salon services, and real estate transactions (sales and rentals) handled through the on-site Club Properties office and a network of affiliated real estate agents from major brokerages. The primary customer segment is affluent active adults and retirees seeking a resort-style gated lifestyle, with a secondary segment of real estate investors and seasonal residents leveraging the rental market.
