Lakeside Village is a gated townhome condominium community in Bradenton, Florida, offering two- and three-bedroom residences, a heated community swimming pool, scenic lake views, a fishing pier, and maintenance-friendly ownership. Located in Southwest Bradenton just south of Cortez Road near 34th Street West, the community is convenient to IMG Academy, shopping, restaurants, medical services, Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport, and Gulf Coast beaches.
Developed primarily in 2007 and 2008, Lakeside Village contains approximately 86 residences. Although the homes are designed and marketed as traditional two-story townhomes, the community is legally organized as the Lakeside Village Townhome Condominium. This gives residents the privacy and layout of a townhome combined with many of the exterior and common-area maintenance benefits associated with condominium ownership.
Townhomes at Lakeside Village
Lakeside Village primarily offers two- and three-bedroom townhomes ranging from approximately 1,200 to 1,429 square feet of living space. Most residences feature two full bathrooms plus a first-floor half bath, upstairs bedrooms, private entrances, screened outdoor areas, and lake or landscaped views at select properties.
Depending on the individual residence, features may include:
- Two- and three-bedroom floor plans
- Approximately 1,200 to 1,429 square feet of living space
- Two full bathrooms plus a half bath
- Two-story layouts
- Primary bedroom located upstairs
- Open living and dining areas
- Kitchen pantries and breakfast areas
- Walk-in closets
- Interior laundry
- Screened lanais or patios
- Lake and pond views
- End-unit locations
- Assigned parking
- Guest parking
- Updated kitchens and bathrooms at renovated residences
Individual townhomes have been updated to varying degrees since construction, so buyers should compare HVAC systems, water heaters, appliances, flooring, hurricane protection, interior renovations, association reserves, insurance responsibilities, and current condominium documents when evaluating available properties.
Condominium Ownership with a Townhome Lifestyle
Lakeside Village is legally a condominium community even though the residences look and function much like traditional townhomes. The registered condominium contains approximately 86 units and is governed by the Lakeside Village Townhome Condominium Association.
This distinction is important because exterior maintenance, insurance responsibilities, common elements, reserves, leasing requirements, and other ownership considerations are governed by the condominium documents rather than a typical fee-simple townhome HOA structure.
For buyers, the arrangement provides a combination of multi-level residential living and reduced exterior maintenance responsibilities.
Lakeside Village Amenities
Lakeside Village offers a smaller but appealing recreational package centered around its lake and community pool.
- Gated entrance
- Heated community swimming pool
- Community clubhouse or gathering area
- Lake and pond
- Fishing pier
- Sidewalks
- Tropical landscaping
- Guest parking
- Private community roads
- Community mailbox area
- Association-maintained common areas
Current condominium fees commonly include services such as water, sewer, trash collection, pool maintenance, grounds maintenance, private-road maintenance, pest control, reserve funding, management, and portions of association insurance. Exact coverage and fees can change, so buyers should review the current condominium budget and governing documents before purchasing.
Lake and Pond Views
The central lake is one of the defining features of Lakeside Village. Many residences overlook the water from screened lanais, patios, living areas, or upstairs bedrooms.
The community also provides a fishing pier, giving residents a quiet place to enjoy the lake and surrounding landscape. The water features are recreational and scenic rather than navigable boating waterways.
Is Lakeside Village a 55+ Community?
No. Current property records identify Lakeside Village as an all-ages condominium community rather than a 55+ development.
This makes the neighborhood an option for a broader range of buyers seeking gated, maintenance-friendly townhome living in Southwest Bradenton.
Rental and Pet Considerations
Rentals are permitted subject to condominium association approval and current community rules. Current 2026 sale listings identify a minimum lease period of approximately one month, although many individual owners choose to offer six-month or annual leases.
Buyers considering Lakeside Village as a rental property should verify the current minimum lease period, permitted rental frequency, tenant application requirements, and association approval procedures before purchasing.
Lakeside Village is also pet friendly subject to association restrictions. Current listings show varying pet-size and number limits, so buyers moving with pets should review the most recent condominium documents rather than relying on restrictions reported for an individual listing.
