Only that access is controlled. It does not tell you whether the community has golf, whether membership is required, what the HOA maintains or whether a CDD assessment applies.
Gran Paradiso
Gran Paradiso is a gated Wellen Park community with condos, coach homes, villas and single-family homes. The community emphasizes resort amenities rather than a community golf course. Compare sub-association responsibilities and current CDD obligations by property.
IslandWalk
IslandWalk is known for waterways, bridges, activity centers, fitness, courts and an active calendar. Housing includes villas and single-family homes. Review the maintenance responsibilities and current association documents for the exact home type.
Grand Palm
Grand Palm includes gated sections, lakes, trails, pools, parks and recreation. It is a large community, so location inside the neighborhood can change access, traffic patterns and proximity to amenities.
Toscana Isles
Toscana Isles is a gated North Venice lake community with a clubhouse, fitness, courts, resort pool and water-oriented amenities. Housing and association responsibilities vary by product.
Sarasota National
Sarasota National combines a gate, large preserve areas and resort amenities. Golf Village homes include a golf relationship that Lake Village homes do not. Confirm the village before comparing fees or prices.
Golf communities with gates
