Lakewood National sits inside a gated community in Lakewood Ranch, where there's a strong focus on both security and convenience, and if you like golf, there are two Arnold Palmer-designed 18-hole championship courses surrounded by nature and wetlands, with the LECOM Annual PGA Suncoast Classic hosted there every year, which gives a special touch for those who enjoy watching or playing the game, and if walking is more your style, the landscaped sidewalks and paved paths take you past lakes, preserves, and neighborhoods with names like Gawthrop Drive, Palmer Circle, and Vardon Terrace. The homes come in different styles, such as condos, townhouses, duplexes, and single-family options with up to six bedrooms, built between 2017 and 2022, many with garages for two cars, built-in sports racks, extra storage cabinets, and an in-unit laundry room, so handling chores doesn't take much effort. Most homes have outdoor screened enclosures, rear porches, and even outdoor kitchens or summer grilling spaces, with pools that are heated, saltwater, and come with safety features and lighting, along with private spas and beautiful views of water or preserve land, so if relaxing outside is important you'll have a lot of choices.
Around the community, the Grand Clubhouse acts as the center for dining, fitness, and relaxing, with a spa, sauna, and full-service fitness center, and you can swim at the resort-style lagoon pool, step up to the Tiki Bar for food service, and join games on eight Har-Tru tennis courts, four pickleball courts, and two bocce courts, along with a bocce facility and card room for different activities, and a gym with modern equipment. Residents can also enjoy a library, an arts and crafts room, a movie theater, and game areas, so staying busy isn't hard with all these options. Lawn care, organic pest control, pool maintenance, trash collection, housekeeping, move-in help, and property management are included, so you won't need to spend your time keeping up the yard or pool, and golf carts are available to rent if you find the area too big to walk. For safety, there's a security gate, smoke detectors, private road management, and an electronic gate pass system.
Inside, many homes have large master suites with walk-in closets, tray ceilings, soaking tubs, walk-in showers, double sinks, water views, and custom lighting, and many offer a half bath on the lanai for those who like to entertain. Dining options range from all-day dining to restaurant-style meals with special diets available for allergies or diabetes, and there's also meal preparation and service for those who need a little extra help. The neighborhood plans daily activities, fitness programs, outdoor walks, movie nights, resident-run clubs, and family-friendly events. Other amenities like high-speed internet, air conditioning, private bathrooms, and options for furnished or unfurnished homes make for comfortable living. Healthcare support includes a 24-hour call system, supervision, medication help, and assistance with daily activities. The mix of Tuscan-style architecture, palm trees, paved walking trails, water features, and preserve views keeps the area feeling bright and peaceful, while the transferability of clubhouse amenities, poolside dining, and a full-service real estate team means you can look for homes or condos that fit your needs, whether you're buying or looking for something new on the market, with prices and home sizes to fit different budgets.
