About Waterside
Waterside is a village of Lakewood Ranch in Sarasota County, south of University Parkway, and Lakewood Ranch describes it as its first Sarasota village. It is built around a chain of large lakes, including Kingfisher Lake, and plans call for more than 5,000 homes in up to 12 neighborhoods. Its town center, Waterside Place, sits on a 36-acre peninsula with shops, restaurants, offices, and the Lakewood Ranch Farmers’ Market, next to Waterside Park, and trails and water taxis connect it to the neighborhoods. Neighborhoods selling in 2026 include Bungalow Walk, Emerald Landing, Kingfisher Estates, Shellstone, and Wild Blue, offering townhomes, attached villas, and single-family homes from about 1,500 to 8,000 square feet. Each neighborhood has its own HOA, and the village is financed through the Lakewood Ranch Stewardship District.

Why clients trust Leslie Wells Realty
What clients say
“I was an out of state buyer and Agata Diggs represented me in the purchase of my second home. She was extremely responsive! Even if she couldn't talk at the moment, she would text me and tell me that she would call me in 15 minutes. She never left me wondering. I've recommended her to a few friends since then. She did a great job.”
“Amazing service from Melissa Moore who helped sell my aunt's home. Being from Scotland, I had lots of questions which Melissa promptly answered even when she was on vacation! We had one viewer and full offer!”
“Working with Alexis Christensen over the past 3 years has been nothing short of incredible. And yes, I really mean 3 years.”
“I am thrilled to have worked with Rachel. She has been professional, but most importantly she was kind, she listened, and was always available to answer any questions. She was a godsend from the very first day and soon felt like family. I would recommend her to anyone.”
“We are incredibly grateful to have been referred to Carly by a friend. When we called her at the last minute to assist with our home purchase, she stepped in and made the entire process seamless. Carly went above and beyond our expectations, and we highly recommend her. We look forward to working with her again in the future.”
