The Company’s new community sales in Bungalow Walk at Waterside will begin in early April.

Dream Finders Homes was selected by Lakewood Ranch as one of 19 preferred builders contributing to its 33,000+ acre community with its Bungalow Walk at Waterside community. Bungalow Walk at Waterside offers 225 homesites with six (6) unique floor plans, some with attached and some with detached garages. Additionally, each home will be designed to feature beautiful curated front porches. Dream Finders will begin construction on model homes in the Spring.

The homes will range in size from about 1,696 to 2,557 square feet of living area and include six (6) models of Dream Finders Homes representing a suite of high-quality designs named the Haven, Laurel, Pearl, Pemberly, Taylor and Willow, equipped with three (3) and four (4) bedrooms and up to three (3) bathrooms.

Bungalow Walk at Waterside will feature the innovative DFH design elements in bungalow-style homes that emphasize modern aesthetics, functional layouts and high-quality craftsmanship that cater to the needs and preferences of the current diverse population of homebuyers. Lakewood Ranch is conveniently located minutes from downtown Sarasota and Siesta Key, recently sought-after destinations, which positions the community as a prime beneficiary of the influx.

Further, Lakewood Ranch has secured a dominant position in the Tampa region due to its unique strategy of offering multi-generational communities that appeal to the masses. The centerpiece of the Waterside community, Waterside Place, provides an elevated community experience that overlooks the mile-long Kingfisher Lake, and includes a blend of entertainment with unique commercial, retail and office space, diverse dining venues, an eight-acre park with miles of nature trails, and “pop-up” event spaces, amongst additional lifestyle enhancing community attractions.
