The condominium lifestyle in Florida is not limited to cramped units in high-rise towers. Watercrest, a special community in Lakewood Ranch, offers a different and more enjoyable type of condominium experience.

Watercrest is one of the waterfront neighborhoods that make up the Edgewater village of Lakewood Ranch. The residential units in this maintenance-free community are arranged in 19 structures facing the northern shores of Lake Uihlein.

Watercrest has a range of floor plans to meet various preferences and budgets. The Mirabelle floor plan, for example, is a three-bedroom and three-bathroom corner unit that features high ceilings, designer kitchens, bay windows, screened lanai, and plenty of privacy; this unit can be found listed under $550K. More affordable units feature split floor plans, shared parking space and semi-private elevators. Even more spacious floor plans offer interior spaces larger than 2,400 square feet.

The maintenance-free lifestyle at Watercrest includes amenities such as a clubhouse, fitness center, resort-style swimming pool, and spa. The neighborhood is surrounded by the lake and various nature preserve areas that provide plenty of shade and privacy. The condominium structures are built in the Mediterranean style of residential architecture, and the interiors feature plenty of extras such as walk-closets, lighted counters, cherry wood cabinets, quality floor tiling, etc.

Residents of Watercrest enjoy living in one of the best locations in Manatee County; just about anything they need in terms of shopping and entertainment can be found just outside the main gate at Main Street, which is Lakewood Ranch’s very own commercial district and town center. Everything from banks to restaurants and from pubs to health clinics can be reached within walking distance. Even a championship golf course and a canoe launch are also within walking distance.
