Excellent video!! I’ve lived here 20 years and it’s growing so much.
@@JamiesGarage1 thanks for watching!
I like the presentation more than the property. This is a great video!
@@amazeKE thanks so much. I’ll be doing more interesting locations as the channel grows so I appreciate you watching and subscribing if you did that as well. The goal would be to cover popular areas in Florida and then move throughout the country and possibly overseas. Stay tuned!
I actually stayed there by accident when visiting Sarasota and loved how much nature there still was amongst the communities and how clean it was everywhere. The secret is out and I’m sure it has been swamped since even just a year ago!
@@jbar_85 thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed your time here
Really nice job and a very impressive! I can see you put alot of time, thought and effort into this video.
Thanks for watching!
Great video. Would love to see some content on Wellen Park as well. Seems like it’s the new, albeit smaller, Lakewood Ranch that’s still in its infancy.
Was at Lakewood last year. The HOA set up speed cameras fined people, and posted their addresses on the website. One landscaper had 15 tickets.
LWR Resident since 2019 and best video highlighting this great community. This really helps me keep abreast of market and future development. Retired here and I wish it wasn’t so popular now 😂, it was a hidden gem until about 2021. Check your video at 19:45 mark, some voice over distortion. Well done!
Thanks so much for watching! And thank you for noticing. I had major technical difficulties with my editing software while making this. Was a nightmare to untangle. I’ll fix this audio this evening. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
Very well done. Thanks.
Thanks for watching!
I am in awe.
Thank you for watching!
Still a decent video, thanks for uploading/creating this content, really appreciate. Please don't let me earlier critique of the development itself get to you. Thumbs Up!!
Lakewood Ranch is a lovely community. However, the traffic flow getting into the community is horrific. Constant traffic jams.
Cuz y’all mf moved here.
Very cool
Thanks for watching!
I didn’t know Summerfield was the first neighborhood built
Woah same last name😮
Benderson owns much of the retail space.
Really interesting content.
Good luck insuring these homes…in a few years…or even now. 20” of rain this *week* in this area. 😬
Thanks for watching. I live in waterside and it’s been pouring all week but the area has drained really well. None of the homes in Lakewood ranch are in a flood zone either, so flood insurance is unnecessary here. The closer you are to the coast, the more of a flood concern you have.
They’re literally designed to drains heavy rains ….
The density and intentional design looks great. Any chance developments are looking at architecture more like mid century modern (butterfly fly roofs and post ans beam) or tropical modern (concrete and wood) vs what I'm seeing in these developments as simplified colonial (fake columns), and contemporary. Clearly some love this style but to many of us it looks like an outlet mall even though the planned format is super appealing otherwise.
I get where you’re coming from. Lakewood ranch could definitely use more variety. The custom neighborhoods like Wild Blue, Monarch Acres, Kingfisher Estates and Star Farms will build you whatever you want, but that’s it for Lakewood ranch unfortunately.
If you go a little west into Sarasota though you will see a lot of new construction featuring modern and tropical architecture. You’ll also see some nicely renovated mid century modern homes out near the beach too.
I’ll be covering all of Sarasota and the barrier island nearby over the next 4-5 months so I’ll make sure to show those architectural options on the channel soon.
Do a video on Nocatee, we heard it’s great
Thanks for watching. I’ve heard good things about Nocatee. Will keep it in mind once I finish covering the Sarasota metro.
I think the expansion of communities like this in south Florida might have its benefits. (Not really for anyone living there already) but I think there will be just as many negatives. It’s definitely a nice area easy to live in but you already have the issue of traffic when snow birds come down in the cooler months like businesses get the benefit of it but then a normal 15 minute drive to the beach turns into 1 hour and you’re just stuck in traffic having to blast AC because otherwise you’ll be drenched in sweat due to the heat. And I hate to say this but Florida has enough 50+ communities like we don’t need anymore especially in the manatee county area I get it people want to retire and be warm most of the year but there’s already so many places like that and it if anything Florida could become the next Puerto Rico or Hawaii where people who are from those states end up pricing other people out of living there, I don’t think Florida will get as far as those two but it just kind of makes me feel protective over what it means to live in Florida and represent Florida while you have people just moving to Florida who will end up just wanting to be catered towards while not really even giving back idk
Hey Michael. I hope this message finds you well! 🙂
I recently discovered your UA-cam channel while scrolling homepage and found your content to be amazing and incredibly helpful. I have a cooperation proposal for you and would love to discuss it further. Please let me know if you're interested!
Hi, yes you can email me at mheller27@gmail.com if there is something you would like to discuss.
@@michaelheller_KW Thanks, I sent you email like 15 mins ago :)
Imagine living in a country where you get shot for no reason.
Out of all the neighborhoods you cover in your video, what neighborhoods have no HOA (Home Owner Assocation), CDD (Community Development District) or Deed Restrictions? It would be a real shame if the answer is they all have HOA, CCD and Deed Restrictions one has to put up with.
They all have HOA. A few north of 64 (not part of LWR) don’t and it shows.
I didn’t cover it in this neighborhood because it’s technically right outside the border, but I think you would like Braden woods. Don’t believe there is any CDD and the HOA if any is probably less than 15 bucks per month. Are you considering a purchase in the area?
@@michaelheller_KW Mill Creek has an HOA but it’s very hands off minimal HOA duties.
@@ESmithI actually grew up in Mill Creek. Great neighborhood
Any homes in LAkewood without an HOA?
@@mattp4079 River Club and Braden woods are right along the edge of Lakewood ranch to the west. Arguably better location than most of the true Lakewood ranch neighborhoods. Neither of them have HOA. If you send me an email at mheller27@gmail.com I can send you videos and homes in these neighborhoods
I've never heard of Lakewood Ranch until now
Florida is great and all but I wouldn't invest in real estate there
Thanks for watching anyway. I’ll be covering many more areas in Florida over the next few weeks and months.
Why do 90% of the communities don’t have many trees but only palm trees? I live in south Florida and a few years ago they forced us all to have palm trees in front of our townhomes. I feel it’s for insurance reasons. However, trees are so much prettier looking than a damn palm tree. You get zero shade from a palm tree as you would a tree. It’s setting up this city to be an urban island heating affect once it gets more and more dense. If they truly care about the environment, conserving it, they would preserve it and add more trees to these neighborhoods. Just my opinion, of course.
@@jbar_85 there are a ton of trees planted in these neighborhoods. If you go back and look at the video you’ll notice they line most of the streets with oak trees. You can’t really tell because they are young and small but in 10 years all the new neighborhoods will be covered with large oak trees just like summerfield, Edgewater and Lakewood ranch country club currently are. It just takes a little time for them to mature.
@@michaelheller_KW yeah I saw some saplings in some of the neighborhoods and in others, just palm trees.
Not impressed.Too many people and literally living on top of each other.
"Complex market" lol
The number of seniors leaving Florida each year tells us that it is no longer a retirement destination. Not unless you’re a millionaire.
so a bunch of single family homes? so exciting 😐
I mean we got townhomes and condos out here too. Thank you for reluctantly watching. Come back soon
Meh
bubble community
Nothing appealing here. The density is suffocating, way too many cars and people.
Do you live here now?
@@michaelheller_KW No Sir, not even a consideration your video merely popped up. Probably the right demographic, but I enjoy my acreage and rural lifestyle. I am sure it is appealing to some, put I enjoy the peace and quiet with antelope and deer wandering onto my property. Your overview was excellent and captured a variety of choices and amenities I would never use.
@@conservativechristian8508 Understandable. Thanks for watching!
Neal , Lanar, Pulte, DR Horton , Cannon some of the worst builders in Florida.
@@HillyBill38548 why would you put Cannon in that category?
Fakewood ranch
Lol you can’t afford it.
@@JohnLee-db9zt i already live downtown what does Lakewood ranch offer ? A big mall? An hour to the beach? Militant HOAs? Sell me on it. Friday nights at Rocco’s tacos?
How about Mick Jaegers house?
@@mattp4079 he got bored and left too
You forgot to add a very large important part on why they have won so many times. and that would come down to being in a Republican state
Dumbest comment on this post.
Then why can’t they pay for themselves, still have their hands out for federal dollars. Why do 10-11 democrat run states have to pay for all the republican ones?? Just wondering, I live in Texas and 50% of budget is federal dollars
@@jeremysweat9424 The federal government steals 30% of my income. So I dunno wtf ur on about.
Very affordable.... for the rich old farts.
