Lakeside Landings is an active adult community for folks aged 55 and over, placed near Lake Miona in Sumter County right by The Villages in Oxford, Florida, and the area really feels like a small friendly neighborhood where golf carts are welcome and the gated entrance stays open all day and night, so people come and go when they like. The community's size stays small, holding up to six residents, and you'll find both single-family homes and attached villas with at least two bedrooms and two bathrooms, some even have dens for an office or a game room, with open floor plans and easy-to-care-for yards finished in 2023, and the homeowners' association handles things like lawn care, trash pick-up, and repairs.
Residents get care that fits their needs, so there's help with dressing, bathing, medications, and memory care if needed, plus skilled nursing for those who need more medical help, respite care for short recovery stays, and non-ambulatory support too, with a 24-hour call system always ready should someone need it. Meals are tailored for special diets, with all-day dining choices, restaurant-style settings, and allergy or diabetes needs covered; the dining scene is bigger than what's often found, with cafes, bakeries, tea rooms, and even a group of unique restaurants where the chefs cook up all kinds of food, from Asian and Southern to pizza, hamburgers, and buffets. Residents can stay in touch with family and friends over the high-speed Wi-Fi and telephone lines in their rooms, and the rooms themselves have private bathrooms, kitchenettes, air conditioning, furnished units, and cable TV to keep entertainment close at hand.
The community clubhouse, which hosts many of the events and programs, covers 13,000 square feet and holds an elegant ballroom with a stage and kitchen for bigger gatherings, while smaller groups meet in the library, card room, billiards room, or the fitness and exercise centers, where many folks like to take part in scheduled daily activities, clubs, and fitness programs. For those who like fresh air, there's a 140-foot dock, private beach, fishing pier looking over Lake Miona, walking paths, and lush gardens, plus tennis and pickleball courts, putting greens for golf fans, and two pools-one resort style, one a quieter satellite option-hot tubs, and a cabana bar for relaxing afternoons with neighbors.
The homes and public spaces have Wi-Fi and internet with no contracts or credit checks, the community offers entertainment streaming anywhere you go, plus laundry, housekeeping, dry cleaning, concierge, move-in help, and family support, and residents can join in movie nights, book clubs, billiards, cards, arts, and lots of outdoor and resident-run programs. The security system offers self-protection plans if needed, and the business room, spa, and wellness features make day-to-day life comfortable and social. Lakeside Landings is for folks who want support and health care but also want a full, active life in a lakeside, easy-living Florida setting.
