Avanti at Waterside: Affordable Luxury in Lakewood Ranch's Premier District

Welcome to Avanti at Waterside, where accessible luxury meets unbeatable location in Lakewood Ranch's prestigious Waterside District. This thoughtfully designed entry-level village proves that you don't need to compromise on style or convenience to find your perfect Florida home. Experience the best of waterfront living with all the amenities of Waterside Place just steps from your front door.

Neighborhood Character

Avanti at Waterside stands as a refreshing approach to community living in one of Lakewood Ranch's most coveted districts. This ungated, open, and welcoming neighborhood was specifically conceived to provide a more attainable price point in Waterside without sacrificing the sophisticated lifestyle residents expect. The community embraces an inclusive atmosphere with no exclusivity barriers, creating a warm environment where neighbors naturally connect. Even the name "Avanti," meaning "forward" in Italian, reflects the community's progressive approach to suburban living.

Housing Options

Avanti offers an impressive variety of home styles within one cohesive neighborhood, catering to diverse lifestyle needs. The community features two-story townhomes with three bedrooms and alley-loaded garages, spanning approximately 1,600-1,800 square feet. Single-story attached villas provide two bedrooms plus den configurations in around 1,500 square feet of thoughtfully designed space. The garden series single-family homes offer 3-4 bedroom layouts ranging from 1,600 to 2,400 square feet, providing ample space for growing families or those who love to entertain guests.

Pricing and Fees

Avanti represents exceptional value as one of the most affordable ways to own a new home in the Waterside District. Townhomes start in the upper $300,000s, while attached villas begin in the low $400,000s. Single-family homes range from the mid-$400,000s up through the $500,000s, with current pricing averaging in the mid-$400,000s for most homes. A rare advantage: Avanti has no Community Development District (CDD) fees, which is almost unheard of for new Lakewood Ranch villages. HOA fees are remarkably low at $110-150 monthly, covering lawn care and community common area maintenance.

Amenities & Lifestyle

While Avanti doesn't feature a lavish clubhouse or private pool, the community's amenities focus on lifestyle and convenience. Residents enjoy maintenance-free living with professional lawn care included, eliminating the burden of yard work. The community offers beautiful trails, green spaces, and water views surrounding a stunning 32-acre lake. Most importantly, Avanti's location provides immediate access to Waterside Place amenities, including farmers markets, events, playground facilities, trails, and outdoor fitness areas that serve as the community's extended playground.

Location Advantages

Avanti's geography represents its greatest asset, positioned literally adjacent to Waterside Place Town Center. Many homes are within a comfortable 10-minute walk to shops, parks, and the water taxi stand. The community encircles a picturesque 32-acre lake and nestles in the southwestern corner of Waterside, providing:

• Walking distance to Waterside Place restaurants and shops

• Easy access to marina areas and water activities

• Proximity to Lakewood Ranch Boulevard for convenient commuting

• Quick access to I-75 for regional travel

• Minutes to downtown Sarasota and area beaches

This strategic positioning combines suburban tranquility with urban convenience, allowing residents to enjoy waterfront amenities without needing a car for daily activities.

Local Conveniences

Living in Avanti means having Lakewood Ranch's premier lifestyle destination as your backyard. Waterside Place serves as Lakewood Ranch's downtown, offering waterfront dining, boutique shopping, entertainment venues, and community gathering spaces. Residents regularly stroll to the farmers market on Sundays, enjoy live music on weekends, and become regulars at local eateries and coffee shops. The convenience of grabbing ice cream, meeting neighbors, or attending free yoga classes in the park creates a truly walkable lifestyle that's rare in suburban Florida communities.

Unique Value Proposition

Avanti defines itself as "Waterside for the budget conscious" – an entry-level gem that delivers premium location benefits without premium pricing. The absence of CDD fees combined with low HOA costs creates exceptional long-term value. This community offers a more urban living concept within Lakewood Ranch's suburban setting, where residents trade private amenities for immediate access to superior public ones. The result is a chic Waterside lifestyle that proves luxury living doesn't always require a luxury price tag.
