Verona Reserve is a gated residential community in Venice, Florida 34292 offering single-family homes and maintenance-oriented paired villas near East Venice Avenue and Jacaranda Boulevard. Developed by Taylor Morrison primarily from 2011 through 2014, this intimate neighborhood combines mature landscaping, ponds, preservation areas, a resort-style community pool and dog park with convenient access to shopping, healthcare, Interstate 75, Historic Downtown Venice and Gulf beaches.
Verona Reserve contains approximately 165 residences, including about 60 detached single-family homes and 105 paired villas. The community has a required homeowners association but no CDD. One particularly important distinction for buyers is that lawn, landscape and irrigation maintenance are provided throughout the community, while villa owners receive additional association-maintained exterior services that do not apply to detached single-family homes.
Homes & Villas in Verona Reserve
Verona Reserve was developed by Taylor Morrison after the builder acquired approximately 55 acres near East Venice Avenue and Jacaranda Boulevard in 2010. Construction began shortly afterward, with most homes completed between 2011 and 2014.
The community contains a mixture of detached single-family residences and attached paired villas, all designed around a consistent Mediterranean and Florida-inspired architectural theme.
Depending on the property, buyers may find:
- Two-, three- and four-bedroom floor plans
- Approximately 1,500 to 2,500 square feet of living space
- Single-story living
- Home offices and dens
- Attached two-car garages
- Open great-room floor plans
- High, vaulted and tray ceilings
- Covered and screened lanais
- Private swimming pools on select detached homes
- Pond and water views
- Preserve and landscaped views
- Hurricane shutters and other property-specific storm protection
Because Verona Reserve is now an established resale community, individual homes vary in renovations, roof age, HVAC systems, appliances, storm protection and interior finishes. Buyers should compare the specific improvements and maintenance history of each property.
Paired Villas in Verona Reserve
The paired villas are one of Verona Reserve’s most popular options for buyers seeking lower-maintenance ownership. Two residences share a common building, while each home retains its own entrance, attached garage and private interior living space.
Villa floor plans generally offer two bedrooms, two bathrooms, flexible den or office space on select models, an attached two-car garage and approximately 1,500 to 1,800 square feet of living space.
The homeowners association provides additional maintenance for the villas beyond the services received by detached single-family homes.
Current governing documents assign the association responsibility for:
- Exterior wall and trim painting on an association schedule
- Exterior painting of garage doors
- Window recaulking when exterior painting is completed
- Maintenance, repair and replacement of villa roofs
- Maintenance, repair and replacement of fascia and soffits
- Periodic pressure cleaning of villa driveways
- Quarterly exterior pest-control service
Villa owners remain responsible for portions of the residence not specifically assigned to the association, as well as owner-added improvements or modifications.
Single-Family Homes in Verona Reserve
Detached single-family homes provide additional interior space, larger homesites and greater flexibility for private outdoor living.
Single-family floor plans generally include three or four bedrooms, two or three bathrooms, attached two-car garages and approximately 1,700 to 2,500 square feet of living space. Select residences include private swimming pools, extended lanais and pond or preserve views.
Single-family homeowners receive community-wide lawn, landscape and irrigation maintenance, but they remain responsible for substantially more of the home’s exterior than villa owners.
Under the current association documents, detached-home owners are responsible for maintenance, repair and replacement of their home’s structure, including exterior walls, doors, windows and roof.
This distinction is important when comparing HOA expenses and long-term ownership costs between a detached residence and paired villa.
What Does the Verona Reserve HOA Maintain?
Verona Reserve provides significant maintenance assistance throughout the community while assigning additional responsibilities to the association for paired villas.
Community-wide HOA maintenance includes:
- Lawn mowing and edging
- Fertilization
- Pruning and landscape maintenance
- Disease and insect control for association-maintained landscaping
- Irrigation system operation and maintenance
- Private-road maintenance
- Entrance gates
- Ponds and stormwater systems
- Preservation and open-space areas
- Community recreation areas
Villa owners also receive the additional exterior and roof-related services described above.
HOA assessments, contracts and maintenance schedules can change, so buyers should review the current budget, reserve schedules, governing documents and property-specific maintenance obligations before purchasing.
Verona Reserve Amenities
Verona Reserve offers a smaller amenity package than many large resort communities, providing neighborhood recreation without the cost of maintaining a major clubhouse complex.
- Resort-style community swimming pool
- Pool cabana
- Fenced dog park
- Sidewalks
- Ponds and water features
- Natural preservation areas
- Landscaped common areas
- Resident social activities
The pool and cabana serve as the primary gathering area for the community. Verona Reserve also maintains an active social calendar that may include resident lunches, dinners, happy hours and other neighborhood events.
Gated Community
Verona Reserve is a gated community with controlled vehicle and pedestrian access. The main entrance uses an electronic call-box system for visitors and deliveries, while residents use registered gate-access devices.
The neighborhood’s private roads are owned and maintained by the association, helping limit through traffic within the community.
Buyers should review current guest-access procedures, parking restrictions and community rules before purchasing.
Parking, Boats & RV Rules
Verona Reserve has specific vehicle and parking restrictions that buyers should understand before purchasing.
Current community information states that overnight street parking is not permitted. Boats, RVs and other recreational vehicles are also not permitted to be stored on the property under the current rules.
Buyers who own a boat, motorhome, trailer or other recreational vehicle should review the current governing documents and arrange off-site storage if necessary.
No CDD Fees in Verona Reserve
Verona Reserve does not have a Community Development District, commonly referred to as a CDD.
This distinguishes the community from many newer developments in Venice and Wellen Park where annual CDD assessments may appear on the property-tax bill.
Owners do pay required homeowners association assessments, with villa assessments generally reflecting their additional exterior and roof-maintenance responsibilities.
Ponds, Preserves & Natural Setting
Verona Reserve was designed around ponds, landscaped open spaces and natural preservation areas. Many residences enjoy water, preserve or landscaped views rather than directly facing another backyard.
The association maintains the community’s ponds, stormwater systems, preservation tracts and common open-space areas.
The compact neighborhood design and mature landscaping give Verona Reserve a more established appearance than many newer communities while still offering homes built primarily during the 2010s.
