We first visited Del Webb at Lakewood Ranch and honestly wasn’t impressed. We then visited Cresswind and thought the homes were much nicer. We walked through a few homes under construction at Del Webb and Cresswind and thought the Cresswind homes were better built and had more attention to detail. I do have a few problems, but they are not exclusive to Kotler or Cresswind. Lot premiums are a given, but for the majority of lots its just a money grab. CDDs are a given, so one has to actively look to avoid them. All that being said, Cresswind is a nice, laid out development with beautiful homes.
The only current negative to Cresswind at Lakewood Ranch is the future development that will be adjacent to the north. Not something that Kotler controls, but imagine buying your dream retirement home and backing to a house with 5 kids and 3 dogs.
