The architectural styles vary across different villages, with options ranging from Mediterranean to Craftsman to Contemporary. The price range is equally diverse, catering to first-time homebuyers, families, retirees, and luxury seekers.
Due to its age, Lakewood Ranch presents a great deal of choice in both new construction homes and resale homes.

This blend of new and old adds to the richness of the community, providing options for every taste and budget.

Lakewood Ranch’s varied real estate options also make it an attractive destination for investors. The combination of new construction and resale homes, along with the range of price points, and the fact that it is a high demand community makes it popular with investors.
Just keep in mind that most community HOA’s in Lakewood Ranch have rental rules prohibiting short term rentals so do your due diligence. Knowing the rules of the community you’re interested is critical to making an informed decision.
