Entry-level ($329K–$349K): Three-bedroom, two-bathroom single-story homes ranging from approximately 1,286 to 1,707 square feet.

The Plan 2566, for example, features a two-story layout with generous living areas and a 2-car garage.

Upper-range ($391K–$434K): Spacious four-bedroom, two-and-a-half to three-bathroom homes up to 3,016 square feet.

Community Amenities and Outdoor Spaces

Creekside at Rutland Ranch may be a smaller community of 95 homes, but it does not skimp on green space and outdoor amenities. Residents enjoy:

• On-site Serenity Gardens — a beautifully landscaped common area designed for relaxation and quiet enjoyment

• Community park with open green space

• Neighborhood pond with scenic overlooks

• Community garden for residents who enjoy growing their own herbs and vegetables

• Planned sports fields for active families

• Select lakefront homesites offering tranquil water views

The community is designed to feel open and connected to nature, with walking paths and mature landscaping that complement the natural Florida environment. It is the kind of neighborhood where you can take an evening stroll, enjoy a quiet morning in the garden, or let the kids play in the park without leaving your community.

HOA and CDD Fees: Keeping Monthly Costs Low

One of the most attractive financial features of Creekside at Rutland Ranch is the absence of CDD (Community Development District) fees. In many new construction communities throughout Manatee and Sarasota counties, CDD fees can add $150 to $400 or more per month on top of your mortgage and HOA dues. At Creekside at Rutland Ranch, that cost simply does not exist.

The HOA fee is $280 per quarter (approximately $93 per month), which covers common area maintenance, landscaping of shared spaces, and upkeep of community amenities. Compared to many neighboring communities, this is a very competitive HOA structure that helps keep your total monthly housing costs manageable.
