Sweetwater: Adventure-Focused Living in Northeast Lakewood Ranch

Welcome

Welcome to Sweetwater, where family fun meets modern convenience in one of Lakewood Ranch's most dynamic new communities. This M/I Homes development brings a refreshing sense of adventure and relaxation to daily life, creating a unique atmosphere that sets it apart from traditional neighborhoods. Since opening in 2022, Sweetwater has quickly established itself as the go-to destination for families and active adults seeking an engaging, resort-style lifestyle.

Neighborhood Character

Sweetwater stands as a vibrant gated community with over 500 homes, designed to cater to both growing families and active older adults seeking low-maintenance living. The community features a distinctive dual-living concept with single-family homes in the main community and separate paired villas located behind additional gates. This thoughtful layout creates varied lifestyle options within one cohesive neighborhood, allowing residents to choose the living style that best matches their needs while enjoying shared community amenities and the signature adventurous spirit.

Housing Options

M/I Homes offers an impressive range of housing options to suit diverse preferences and budgets. The single-family collection features modern one and two-story floor plans ranging from 1,700 square feet cottages perfect for starter families to nearly 4,000 square feet five-bedroom homes ideal for larger households. For those seeking low-maintenance living, the twin villas provide approximately 1,500-1,800 square feet of thoughtfully designed space with two bedrooms plus a den in convenient one-story layouts. All homes showcase M/I Homes' reputation for higher construction standards and semi-custom options, giving buyers quality craftsmanship with personalization opportunities.

Pricing and Fees

Sweetwater offers excellent value across its housing spectrum, with villa pricing starting in the high $300,000s and single-family homes beginning in the $500,000s for smaller models. Premium lots and larger floor plans can reach approximately $1 million, while the community median price sits around $600,000. Monthly HOA fees reflect the extensive amenities and gated lifestyle, starting in the mid-$200s for single-family homes and mid-$300s for villas, with maintenance included in these fees. A Community Development District (CDD) assessment contributes to the impressive amenities and infrastructure that make Sweetwater special.

Amenities & Lifestyle

Sweetwater's amenities truly set it apart from typical communities, centered around the stunning Lakehouse clubhouse that embodies a resort-inspired lifestyle. The beautiful resort pool with cabanas serves as the community's social hub, complemented by a fully equipped fitness center for year-round wellness. Outdoor recreation options include multi-purpose sports courts, pickleball courts, and an open sports field for various activities. The crown jewel is the unique adventure playground featuring a pump track—an innovative obstacle course where kids and adventurous adults can ride bikes over mounds and challenging terrain, creating a mini summer camp atmosphere year-round.
