Developed primarily by local builder Caithness Construction, the neighborhood contains approximately 102 homes arranged around several community ponds in a quiet residential setting.
Blue Heron Pond appeals to buyers who want an established Venice neighborhood without the large amenity complexes or higher recurring costs associated with many newer master-planned communities.

Homes in Blue Heron Pond
Blue Heron Pond consists of single-family homes constructed primarily during the early-to-mid 2000s. Caithness Construction built many of the residences using concrete-block construction and floor plans designed for Florida’s indoor-outdoor lifestyle.
Three-bedroom, two-bath layouts are common, typically with attached two-car garages and open or split-bedroom floor plans. Homes vary in size, with many offering approximately 1,800 to more than 2,200 square feet of living space and some larger custom residences extending beyond that range.
Architectural features may include high or tray ceilings, arched openings, spacious kitchens, separate dining or flex spaces, screened lanais, tile roofs, and mature landscaping. Many properties also include private swimming pools, and select homes offer pond or lake views.
Because Blue Heron Pond is now an established neighborhood, individual homes vary significantly in updates and condition. Buyers may encounter properties with newer roofing, HVAC systems, hurricane protection, remodeled kitchens and bathrooms, updated flooring, and expanded outdoor living areas.
Blue Heron Pond Community Setting
Blue Heron Pond takes a simpler approach to community living than many newer Venice developments. The neighborhood does not have a large clubhouse, fitness center, or community swimming pool. Instead, residents enjoy quiet streets, sidewalks, landscaped common areas, and several ponds that create attractive water views throughout the community.
