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.

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.

It’s a shame they developed Lakewood Ranch the way they did. I’m not sure about the zoning laws, but a lack of mixed development is easily it’s biggest flaw. Everything is so unnecessarily spread out. Yeah it might be nice to look at because everywhere is well-maintained but it’s a nightmare to get around and feels so dystopian and empty. They needed more places like Waterside and less like the rest of LWR.
@michaelheller_KW
@michaelheller_KW 2 ай бұрын
@@Kyle_Evers yeah in retrospect that’s a very fair criticism and in an ideal world I totally agree with that. There’s nothing better than walkability. I think it wasn’t developed that way because originally it was in the middle of nowhere and it’s hard to create density out of thin air, but there was demand for the classic style of subdivision. And you can only develop something that is financially viable. Overall I agree though it would be cooler if it was developed more like a city. They improved as time went on with waterside once they had more confidence in the ability to creat density.

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

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.

That's a lot of really nice homes, but who's buying? Wages and salaries in Florida are at the bottom end of the scale and the average median income can't come close to affording a $500K+ home, so who's buying??? Not to mention sky-high interest rates effectively doubling your monthly payment, so who's buying? I swear realtors and their kind live in a fantasy land.

@@SkyfireDusk What a nice humble brag. Your net worth far exceeds the average Floridan's, and your rental property likely puts you in the top 1% of wage earners in the state. So, I'll ask the question again... who's going to buy all those houses?

Everyone is super old, traffic is set by all the old people so you can imagine how irritating that must be. Everything is super expensive, everyone seems to have a high level of entitlement. It is super humid and hot. Cost of living is through the roof, and try to find something for sale under a fortune. Just not worth it from any angle.

You can’t use another neighborhoods amenities unless you know someone at that neighborhood who will let you in. But there are some really nice community town centers. Are you interested in this area?

@@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.
