Kings Ridge sits on over 200 acres of rolling hills and fairways in Clermont, Florida, meant especially for those aged 55 and older, and you'll find the visitor entrance at 1900 Kings Ridge Blvd. The community's gated and guarded around the clock, with a front gate known as Kings Ridge Front Gate and a closed status outside of daily hours, which run from 7:00 in the morning to 6:00 in the evening, every day, including weekends. The homes here come with either golf course views or sit on larger lots, ranging in size from about 980 to 2,560 square feet, mostly featuring two or three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and garages that hold two or three cars. Lennar built most of these homes between 1995 and 2000, and mature trees and landscaping stretch across fifteen smaller neighborhoods so the area feels established and lived-in, not brand new and cold.
The main hub's the Clubhouse, sometimes called the Krca Clubhouse, with over 24,000 square feet of space where residents hold parties, meetings, activities, classes, and special events. You'll find places inside for ballroom dancing, bingo nights, a billiards room, a library for quiet reading, and several TV and movie areas, plus a dining room with all-day restaurant-style dining, including allergy-sensitive meals and options for diabetes or other special diets. Wellness is popular here, with a 100,000-gallon Olympic pool, several other pools for swimming, five cabanas, two spas, and two adult-only pool areas at the North Spa, which also has lap lanes, cabanas, jacuzzis, steam rooms, and fitness rooms. Walking paths wind through the grounds, and outdoor common spaces, shuffleboard, bocce ball, six pickleball courts, two half-court basketball courts, and four tennis courts give active options every day.
Golf's a big part of life at Kings Ridge. There are two separate public 18-hole golf courses, the South Course-a Par 71 full-length course designed by Lloyd Clifton-and the Ridge Course, a Par 57 designed by Ron Garl, shorter but with lots of hills and views. There's a pro shop, private golf lessons, clinics, couples' lessons, junior prep, and special group events on the greens. With a broad mix of activities, residents can do ceramics, photography, needlecraft, or participate in any of the 82 clubs and groups around different hobbies and interests. Some of the weekly activities include bingo, tai chi, Bible studies, and games like Samba, and the calendar stays busy with club meetings and twice monthly Friday night socials, block parties, and group outings that help everyone get to know each other. There's also a theater for live performances and a ballroom stage for big events, plus a game room, an arts and activity center, and a library.
Kings Ridge takes care of residents with a variety of services spanning independent living, assisted living, memory care, nursing homes, and continuing care options, and staff support includes daily living help, medication management, and non-ambulatory care, with a 24-hour call system for emergencies and on-site supervision. Other services include housekeeping, laundry, transportation and parking, move-in help, concierge, and family support. Scheduled daily activities, outdoor programs, and resident-run functions help everyone stay active and engaged, while amenities try to make the daily routine a little easier for those who live there. The Kings Ridge Community Association oversees the neighborhood's needs, keeping connections strong and the environment inviting, and you can always visit the community's website at kingsridgegc.com for more specific information when needed.
