Bridgewater: Gated Single-Family Living in Prestigious Lakewood Ranch

Welcome

Welcome to Bridgewater, where maintenance-free luxury meets peaceful community living in one of Lakewood Ranch's most desirable gated neighborhoods. This beautiful Lennar community delivers the country club aesthetic—complete with scenic lakes, manicured landscaping, and elegant gates—without the country club costs or commitments. Experience the perfect balance of upscale living and personal freedom in Florida's premier master-planned community.

Neighborhood Character

Bridgewater stands as a distinguished gated community that prioritizes quality over quantity, creating an intimate atmosphere where neighbors become friends. This exclusively single-family neighborhood maintains a peaceful ambiance that sets it apart from larger developments. The community's thoughtful design emphasizes tranquil living spaces surrounded by natural beauty, with scenic lakes featuring fountains and carefully maintained green spaces throughout. The gated entry provides both security and exclusivity while fostering a true neighborhood feel.

Housing Options

All homes in Bridgewater are single-family residences—no condos or townhomes—showcasing Lennar's signature "everything's included" construction style from the mid-2010s. These contemporary homes range from approximately 2,000 square feet to well over 4,000 square feet, offering 3 to 6 bedroom configurations to accommodate various lifestyle needs. Built with upscale features as standard, many homes include granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. The variety of floor plans ensures options for growing families, empty nesters, and those who love to entertain guests in spacious, well-appointed living spaces.

Pricing and Fees

Investment in Bridgewater represents solid value within Lakewood Ranch's premium market, with current listings ranging from the mid-$500,000s for smaller floor plans to the $800,000s-$900,000s for the largest estate homes on premium lakefront lots. The median home price sits roughly in the $700,000s, reflecting the prevalence of popular four-bedroom models. Homeowners should anticipate a Community Development District (CDD) fee typical of Lakewood Ranch communities, plus moderate HOA dues of approximately $200-$250 monthly. These HOA fees provide exceptional value by including complete lawn and landscaping maintenance, ensuring a truly maintenance-free lifestyle.

Amenities & Lifestyle

While Bridgewater takes a scaled-down approach to community amenities—keeping fees lower and the environment quieter—residents enjoy inviting green parks, walking paths, and scenic lakes with fountains throughout the neighborhood. A small playground and tot lot, plus open fields perfect for family activities and picnics, provide recreational opportunities. The absence of a large clubhouse or community pool allows residents to create their own backyard oasis, and you'll find plenty of private pools and patios behind homes. The community benefits from proximity to the central park area and nearby Bob Garner Park for additional recreation options.

Location Advantages

Bridgewater's prime location near the intersection of White Eagle Boulevard and State Road 70 offers exceptional convenience and accessibility. Residents enjoy:

• Shopping plaza directly outside the gates featuring restaurants, Publix, and numerous services

• A-rated schools within a short drive or bike ride

• Minutes to Premier Sports Campus and recreational facilities

• Quick connections to I-75 for travel to Sarasota, Tampa, and beyond

Local Conveniences

Living in Bridgewater means having everything you need within easy reach. The shopping plaza right outside the gates eliminates long drives for daily errands, offering dining options, grocery shopping at Publix, and essential services. Lakewood Ranch's extensive retail corridors, including University Town Center and Lakewood Ranch Main Street, provide world-class shopping, dining, and entertainment options just minutes away. The area's walkable design and bike-friendly paths make accessing local amenities both convenient and enjoyable, supporting an active Florida lifestyle.
