Lennar Homes to Open a New "Village" in Lakewood Ranch - Bridgewater

Lennar Homes, Inc. hosted a groundbreaking ceremony today, July 24, to mark the start of a new neighborhood in Lakewood Ranch. The new 172 acre community called Bridgewater at Lakewood Ranch will be located just north of SR70 and south of Esplanade, and east of Lakewood Ranch Blvd. According to Lennar, the new community will not have significant amenities or a large community center in order to keep costs lower for prospective residents.

Lennar announced plans to build 281 new homes from Lennar’s Manor Homes and Estate Homes collections. Lennar's representative said the price point will be below that in Lakewood Ranch Golf and Country Club, but with homes in sizes and prices above those in Central Park. The new community, according to Lennar, will be geared towards families

Manor Home models will be priced from $299,990 and range in size from the 2,245 square foot ranch style Princeton floor plan with 4 bedrooms, 2 baths a 3-car garage to the Oxford floor plan, a NextGen® “home within a home” concept for families with multiple generations living under one roof. There will also be a two-story version of the Oxford with 3,828 square feet of living space and 5 bedrooms and 3 1/2 baths in the main family living area with a 2-car garage. The "home within a home" one-bedroom, one-bath NextGen® living area will feature a separate kitchen and dining areas, a private living room and a one-car garage. The Oxford Ne3xtGen® homes will be priced from $399,990.

Lennar also plans to build Estate Homes at Bridgewater in six different designs ranging from the Cambridge floor plan, priced from $369,990 with 3 bedrooms, 2 1/2 baths in 2,394 square feet of living space with a 3-car garage, to the Chapel Hill floor plan that offers 5 bedrooms, 4 1/2 baths in 3,800 square feet of living space. There will also be a two=-story version of the Chapel Hill floor plan with a 600 square foot bonus room and a 3-car garage.
