Key West-Style Architecture Sets Lakeside Apart

Lakeside was designed around a Key West-inspired architectural theme, giving the neighborhood a distinctly Florida character within Nocatee's Town Center area. Covered front porches, columns, balconies, dormers, varied rooflines and coastal exterior colors appear throughout the community.

The style is recognizable without making the neighborhood feel repetitive. With three builders contributing homes over several phases, Lakeside includes different interpretations of its Key West character, from one-story homes with welcoming front porches to larger two-story designs with balconies and more prominent architectural details.

Three Builders and Unique Floor Plans Create More Variety

Lakeside was built by David Weekley Homes, CalAtlantic Homes and Mattamy Homes, with many floor plans designed specifically for the neighborhood. That combination created an unusually broad collection of homes within a consistent architectural theme.

Homes range from approximately 1,800 to 3,284 square feet and include both one- and two-story designs. When comparing resale homes, square footage alone doesn't tell the whole story. Floor plans can differ significantly in bedroom placement, flex and bonus spaces, porches, outdoor living areas and garage configuration.

Porches Are Part of Lakeside's Character

Front porches are one of Lakeside's most recognizable features. Some homes have deep covered porches extending across much of the front elevation, while others incorporate second-story balconies, smaller entry porches or different interpretations of the neighborhood's coastal architecture.

Combined with sidewalks, landscaping and relatively close setbacks, these features give many Lakeside streets a more pedestrian-oriented feel and keep the home's architecture, rather than simply the garage, prominent from the street.

Homesites and Outdoor Space Vary

Although Lakeside generally has the more compact homesites buyers might expect near Town Center, outdoor space varies considerably from one property to another. Some homes have relatively manageable yards, while others offer larger outdoor areas, covered living spaces or even room for a private pool.

Garage placement varies as well. Because homes were built with numerous floor plans and configurations, buyers should consider backyard depth, privacy, driveway arrangement, garage orientation and what surrounds the property rather than comparing homes by square footage alone.

A Lakeside Park Gives the Neighborhood Its Own Gathering Space

Lakeside has something several Town Center neighborhoods do not: a neighborhood amenity area along the water.

A winding path follows the lakefront and connects a small playground, landscaped open space, dock and circular gathering area with a firepit. These smaller-scale amenities provide places to walk, play or enjoy the lake without leaving the neighborhood, while residents also have access to Nocatee's larger parks, trails and resident amenities.

Town Center Convenience in a Fully Built Neighborhood

Lakeside is a fully built, established resale neighborhood with convenient access to Nocatee Town Center. Publix, restaurants, shops and everyday services can be reached by walking, biking, electric cart or car, depending on where a home is located within the neighborhood.

That combination is an important part of Lakeside's identity. Buyers get a substantial 236-home residential neighborhood with its own architectural character and lakeside amenities while remaining closely connected to the activity and conveniences of Town Center.
