Sapphire Point at Lakewood Ranch

Pulte quality, great amenities, no golf fee.

Sapphire Point is a well-regarded Pulte Homes community with a solid amenity package, a gated entry, and a range of home sizes that works for families and empty nesters alike. No bundled golf, no club dues, you pay your HOA and you're done. The resort-style pool, clubhouse, sports courts, and fitness center cover most of what people want without the premium fee structure of a golf community.

HOA and CDD fees in Sapphire Point

On top of your mortgage and property taxes, here is what Sapphire Point asks of you every month, and who takes care of the outside of your home.

  1. CDD, Sapphire Point 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.
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 Sapphire Point you love, I will pull the current estoppel and we will look at the exact figures for that home together.
