Waterside Village is gradually emerging as one of the most desirable places to live in Sarasota. As part of the ongoing expansion of Lakewood Ranch, Waterside Village is a new concept of gated communities developed with their own town center and unique amenities. The Alcove Waterside Village is a neighborhood being developed by none other than Neal Signature Homes, one of Florida’s most renowned home builders, and it consists of just 47 lakefront estates ranging from 2,246 to 3,334 square feet of living space.

If you are familiar with the work of Neal Communities, you probably know that its Signature Homes division is in charge of developing upscale communities. The Alcove Waterside is an exclusive residential enclave located along Lakewood Ranch Boulevard, less than two miles east of I-75 and The Meadows district of Sarasota. As can be expected from a Neal Signature community, The Alcove Waterside offers stunning real estate in a spectacular lakeside setting.

Homes at The Alcove are priced just under $1.2M in late 2024 for the three-bedroom Montecito 2 model, which has two full bathrooms and a garage with enough space for three full-size SUVs. The largest model is the four-bedroom Capri, which is a two-story floor plan built on 3,334 square feet of interior. The neighborhood architecture is based on the new Sarasota home style that mixes elements of Caribbean and Mediterranean design. All homes at The Alcove are new construction properties, and all of them provide sweeping lake views, thus adding to their appeal and high potential for value appreciation. Latest pricing at The Alcove Waterside will be found below if there is inventory.

If you are looking for upscale properties, Neal Signature Homes never disappoints. Grand entrances with elaborate foyers, open spaces, chef’s kitchens, luxurious bedrooms and bathrooms, panoramic windows, dens, smart home automation systems, quality construction materials, and covered swimming pools overlooking Heron Lake are all standard features at The Alcove. Neighborhood amenities include a kayak launch that connects with the Waterside Trail System so that you can explore more than 50 acres of lakes and nature preserves.

Waterside Place is just a bike ride away from The Alcove; this is where you can enjoy everything from a fine Italian meal to craft beer and from boutique shopping to live music performances. You can get even more shopping done at the nearby Sarasota Crossings and University Town Center, but Waterside Place is adding new tenants such as gourmet grocery stores, yoga studios, law offices, and even health clinics to increase the quality of life at The Alcove. You can drive to Downtown Sarasota in 25 minutes, and Siesta Key Beach is close enough to visit every weekend.
