Savanna: Peaceful Gated Living in Northeast Lakewood Ranch

Welcome

Welcome to Savanna, where peaceful retreat meets the vibrant community spirit of northeast Lakewood Ranch. This lovely gated community offers the perfect escape from bustling daily life while keeping you connected to everything that makes the Gulf Coast special. Experience the increasingly rare combination of serene, nature-oriented living with genuine neighborly connections in one of Lakewood Ranch's most charming enclaves.

Neighborhood Character

Savanna stands out as a thoughtfully designed medium-sized community featuring approximately 475 single-family homes. This gated neighborhood maintains an intimate, tight-knit atmosphere where residents truly know their neighbors and form lasting friendships. Developed primarily by Meritage Homes with additional homes by Lennar in later phases around 2017-2019, Savanna has fostered a welcoming environment where many original owners remain, creating stability and continuity that enhances the strong community bonds.

Housing Options

Homes in Savanna showcase both one and two-story designs featuring traditional and craftsman-style facades that provide distinct visual charm compared to other Lakewood Ranch communities. Residents can choose from single-family homes ranging from 1,800 to 3,500 square feet of living space, with 3-5 bedroom configurations available. Meritage's emphasis on energy efficiency means these homes feature spray foam insulation and numerous energy-efficient elements, resulting in notably lower utility bills for homeowners. Many homes include desirable upgrades and pools added by initial buyers.

Pricing and Fees

Investment in Savanna represents solid value within Lakewood Ranch, with current resale listings ranging from the mid-to-high $500,000s for smaller three-bedroom homes to more than $800,000 for larger homes positioned on premium preserve or lake lots. The median sales price for the community hovers around $600,000. Homeowners benefit from reasonable HOA fees of approximately $200 monthly, covering gated security, amenity center maintenance, and common area upkeep. The community also includes a Community Development District (CDD) fee structure.

Amenities & Lifestyle

Despite being a medium-sized community, Savanna delivers exceptional amenities designed for family living and community connection. The charming amenity center features a clubhouse available for resident gatherings, complemented by a resort-style pool with spacious deck areas and a dedicated kids' splash pad. Active families enjoy the playground, half-court basketball, and open field spaces perfect for informal soccer or frisbee games. Pet owners particularly appreciate the two separate dog parks designed for large and small dogs, demonstrating the community's pet-friendly focus.

Location Advantages

Savanna's strategic location on the northeast edge of Lakewood Ranch provides the perfect balance of tranquility and convenience. Positioned off Lorraine Road and 44th Avenue Northeast, residents enjoy:

• Adjacent to ranch lands and the developing Lorraine Lakes for enhanced green space

• Premier Sports Campus just minutes away for recreational activities

• Bob Gardner Park within minutes for additional recreation opportunities

• All grocery stores and shopping within 10 minutes

• Quick access to State Roads 70 and 64 for broader regional connectivity

• Somewhat removed from busier core areas, providing desired tranquility

This positioning offers quieter living surrounded by expansive green spaces while maintaining easy access to daily necessities.

Local Conveniences

Living in Savanna means having essential services and entertainment options conveniently nearby without the congestion of busier Lakewood Ranch areas. The community's northeast location provides quick access to grocery stores, shopping centers, and dining options within a 10-minute radius. Residents appreciate being close enough to enjoy Lakewood Ranch's extensive amenities and services while maintaining a more peaceful, removed atmosphere. The nearby Premier Sports Campus and Bob Gardner Park expand recreational opportunities beyond the community's already impressive amenity offerings.

Unique Value Proposition

What truly sets Savanna apart is its remarkable combination of natural beauty, energy efficiency, and genuine community spirit. Lakes and wetlands weave throughout the neighborhood, providing many homes with lovely water or preserve views, while strategically placed birdhouses and nature observation spots encourage wildlife appreciation. The community's tucked-away location fosters an unusually friendly, neighborly atmosphere where residents organize book clubs, mom's groups, and community events like poolside barbecues, holiday parties, and kids' fishing derbies. Wildlife sightings including deer and sandhill cranes are common, especially at dusk.
