The Alcove at Waterside: Boutique Luxury Living in Lakewood Ranch

Welcome

Welcome to The Alcove at Waterside, where boutique luxury meets lakefront tranquility in one of Lakewood Ranch's most exclusive enclaves. This intimate community by Neal Signature Homes embodies "the luxury of living well," offering a select collection of custom homes in a highly private waterside setting. Experience the rare combination of serene lakefront living with convenient access to Waterside's vibrant shopping and dining district.

Neighborhood Character

The Alcove stands as one of Lakewood Ranch's most exclusive and intimate luxury communities. With only 47 single-family homes, this boutique neighborhood maintains an incredibly private atmosphere where residents enjoy a true sense of exclusivity. The limited size creates an environment where you'll know your neighbors personally, fostering genuine community connections that are increasingly rare in larger developments. This carefully planned enclave focuses on quality over quantity, delivering a premium living experience.

Housing Options

Homes in The Alcove showcase Neal Signature’s luxury line, representing the custom arm of Neal Homes with bespoke quality and customization options not available in their standard communities. All residences are thoughtfully designed single-story homes ranging from 2,400 to 3,400 square feet, featuring 3-4 bedrooms with optional bonus rooms upstairs. The contemporary coastal architecture perfectly complements the lakefront setting, with every home designed to maximize water or preserve views through Neal's careful site planning.

Pricing and Fees

Investment in The Alcove represents the luxury tier of Lakewood Ranch living, with homes starting at $1 million and extending to the $1.2-1.5 million range for premium lake lots with upgrades. These are exclusively luxury residences with no starter homes available in the community. Homeowners should anticipate HOA fees of $450-500 monthly, which covers comprehensive lawn maintenance services. While the fees reflect the premium nature of the community, they provide a truly maintenance-free lifestyle.

Amenities & Lifestyle

While The Alcove is too intimate for its own clubhouse and traditional community amenities, residents enjoy the unique amenity of magnificent views overlooking Blue Heron Lake. The community's design philosophy emphasizes tranquil environment and natural beauty over manufactured amenities. The maintenance-free lifestyle includes full lawn care through the HOA, allowing residents to focus on enjoying their lakefront setting. Every lot backs up to water or preserve areas, ensuring privacy and natural beauty from every home.

Location Advantages

The Alcove's location offers the perfect balance of privacy and convenience within the Waterside area of Lakewood Ranch. Positioned off Lake Ranch Boulevard near Blue Heron Lake, west of the prominent King Fisher Lake, residents enjoy:

• Just minutes to Waterside Place for shopping, dining, and entertainment

• Golf cart distance or pleasant walk to the main Waterside hub

• Easy access to Lake Ranch Boulevard for broader Lakewood Ranch connectivity

• Quick drive to I-75 for regional travel

• Close proximity to top-rated Lakewood Ranch schools

• Strategic position offering both seclusion and accessibility

This tucked-away location creates a hidden enclave feeling while maintaining easy access to everything Lakewood Ranch offers.

Local Conveniences

Living in The Alcove means having Waterside Place's amenities virtually at your doorstep. The community leverages the area's public amenities rather than duplicating them privately, providing residents access to waterfront dining, boutique shopping, live entertainment venues, and theater performances. The nearby Waterside district offers everything from casual dining to fine restaurants, essential services, and regular community events. This approach keeps HOA costs focused on maintenance while providing abundant lifestyle options just minutes away.

Unique Value Proposition

What truly sets The Alcove apart is its identity as "the luxury of living well" - a philosophy that combines wellness, calm, and sophisticated living in an incredibly intimate setting. With only 47 homeowners, the HOA essentially functions as you and 46 neighbors, creating unprecedented community intimacy. The combination of Neal Signature's bespoke quality, lakefront positioning on every lot, and proximity to Waterside's amenities creates a lifestyle where you can host wine gatherings watching lake wildlife, then walk to catch live theater performances minutes later.
