Country Club East at Lakewood Ranch
54 holes, private country club lifestyle, luxury homes in the 34202 zip.
Country Club East is one of the premier golf communities in Lakewood Ranch, 54 holes, a full private country club, and luxury homes starting in the high $500s and reaching well into the millions for estate homes on premium lots. Multiple builders (Lennar being the primary) have built here over the years, creating a mix of home styles from villas through large custom-feel estates. The 34202 zip code puts you close to UTC mall, top restaurants, and I-75.

HOA and CDD fees in Country Club East
On top of your mortgage and property taxes, here is what Country Club East asks of you every month, and who takes care of the outside of your home.
- CDD, Country Club East carries one. It is an infrastructure assessment collected on your annual property tax bill rather than on the HOA invoice, which is why it catches people by surprise. The line on your tax bill is the Lakewood Ranch Stewardship District assessment rather than a numbered community CDD. That district covers most of Lakewood Ranch, and it is why a builder can tell you there is no CDD here and still be right while an assessment arrives anyway. It usually carries two parts, one for operations and one for the bond that paid to put the infrastructure in the ground.
- Lawn and exterior upkeep, this one depends on which neighbourhood you land in. Some inside Country Club East are maintenance free and some are not, so it is worth pinning down for the specific address. Country Club East's own residents' manual puts roughly a quarter of its twenty neighbourhoods outside the maintenance free arrangement, so those owners hire their own landscaper.
Fees shift by home type and they change year to year, so I would rather give you real numbers than a guess. Once you find a place in Country Club East you love, I will pull the current estoppel and we will look at the exact figures for that home together.
