Waterside is more than just a place for living. And certainly more than just homes, lakes and waterviews. Waterside is a place for shopping. For dining. For exploring and adventuring. Day in and day out. Kayaks and canoes are as welcome as strollers and bicycles. Scenic views are second only to beautiful streetscapes. From Sundays at the Farmers’ Market to seasonal festivals, from parks to nature trails, Waterside was truly crafted for community.
Here, life happens around seven pristine lakes with 20 miles of shoreline, acres of nature preserve and Waterside Place, a dynamic lakefront town center, all connected by trails, paths and a water taxi. Waterside is Lakewood Ranch’s first village in Sarasota and is made up of 10 smaller neighborhoods nestled together, with a variety of home types and styles.
Waterside Place is Lakewood Ranch’s newest town center and the only waterfront retail and lifestyle destination in Sarasota. Eat. Drink. Shop. Pamper. Play.
