Developed by Meritage Homes and Toll Brothers beginning in 2019, Venice Woodlands offers a diverse collection of one- and two-story homes in a low-density setting with lakes, preserves, and landscaped common areas. With the original builder development essentially complete, buyers will primarily find resale homes within the community.
Homes in Venice Woodlands
Venice Woodlands consists of 263 single-family homes built by Meritage Homes and Toll Brothers. Construction began in 2019, with the two builders offering distinctly different collections of floor plans and architectural styles.
Meritage Homes offered primarily one-story designs beginning around 1,480 square feet, while Toll Brothers introduced larger one- and two-story residences, including floor plans extending beyond 2,800 square feet. Across the community, buyers may find homes with approximately two to five bedrooms, two- and three-car garages, open-concept living areas, flex rooms, spacious kitchens, covered lanais, and private outdoor living spaces.
Many Venice Woodlands homes overlook lakes, preserves, wooded areas, or landscaped common spaces. Individual properties may also include private swimming pools, extended lanais, upgraded kitchens and bathrooms, hurricane protection, energy-efficient construction features, and extensive owner improvements.
Because homes were constructed by two different builders and individual owners have continued to make upgrades, floor plans, finishes, lot sizes, and features can vary considerably throughout the neighborhood.

Meritage Homes & Toll Brothers
Two nationally recognized builders developed Venice Woodlands: Meritage Homes and Toll Brothers. This gives the neighborhood greater architectural and floor-plan variety than communities developed by a single builder.
Meritage Homes offered a collection that included efficient one-story designs with an emphasis on energy-conscious construction. Toll Brothers brought larger home designs to Venice Woodlands, including residences with expanded living areas, additional bedrooms, flex spaces, larger garages, and upgraded architectural options.
The original builder sales programs have concluded, so current opportunities are generally resale properties. Occasionally, buyers may encounter a recently completed or never-occupied home, but availability depends on current MLS inventory.
