Because the community was built over a number of years and individual units have been renovated differently, buyers should compare roof and building improvements, HVAC systems, windows, plumbing, interior updates and association responsibilities for the specific property.
12 Condominium Associations
One of the most important things to understand about Waterside Village is that it is composed of 12 separate condominium sub-associations containing a combined 414 units.
Each sub-association has its own board of directors, governing documents, budget and rules. The Waterside Village Community Association oversees the shared recreational amenities and other community-wide responsibilities.
This means association fees and services are not identical throughout Waterside Village. Pet restrictions, rental policies, maintenance responsibilities and reserve funding may also differ by section.
Buyers should review both the applicable sub-association documents and the Waterside Village master association information before purchasing.
Maintenance-Oriented Condominium Living
Waterside Village offers a lower-maintenance ownership experience, but the exact services included depend on the specific condominium association.
Recent listings show association services that may include:
- Exterior building maintenance
- Building insurance
- Lawn and landscape maintenance
- Community swimming pools
- Recreational facilities
- Association management
- Pest control
- Water and sewer
- Trash service
- Cable television
- Internet service
- Reserve funding
Not every section includes exactly the same services, so buyers should verify the current fee and maintenance package for the individual residence rather than relying on a community-wide estimate.
Waterside Village Amenities
The Waterside Village Community Association maintains an extensive recreation package for residents.
- Three heated swimming pools
- Pool cabanas
- Main clubhouse
- Tennis and pickleball facilities
- Bocce court
- Shuffleboard courts
- Outdoor grilling areas
- Community gathering spaces
- Organized resident activities
The community also maintains an active social calendar, with resident clubs, games, fitness activities and neighborhood gatherings offered throughout the year.
Ponds, Preserves & Water Views
Waterside Village incorporates numerous ponds, landscaped areas and preserved vegetation throughout the community.
Many residences overlook water or preserve areas from their screened lanais, while others face landscaped common areas or neighboring buildings.
Buyers who specifically want a water or preserve view should verify the rear exposure of the individual unit rather than assuming that every Waterside Village residence has a water view.
No CDD in Waterside Village
Current Waterside Village property records identify residences with no Community Development District, or CDD.
Owners do pay condominium and community association assessments, but there is no separate CDD assessment associated with current Waterside Village properties.
Because there are 12 sub-associations, buyers should verify the total association expense for the specific residence they are considering.
Rental & Pet Rules Vary by Association
Rental and pet policies are another reason buyers should pay attention to the specific Waterside Village association.
For example, certain Waterside Village associations impose minimum lease periods, limits on leasing or waiting periods after purchase before a unit may be rented. Pet limits and permitted sizes can also differ among sections.
Buyers planning to rent their residence or bring pets should review the current rules of the applicable sub-association before purchasing.
