Finishes are high quality and the layouts are designed for easy one-level living.

The amenity package at Woodland Preserve is one of the strongest selling points of this community. Kolter Homes is known for delivering resort-caliber amenity centers in their 55+ communities, and Woodland Preserve is no exception. Planned and under-construction amenities include:

• State-of-the-art clubhouse with gathering spaces, billiards room, and catering kitchen

HOA and CDD Fees

Understanding the monthly costs is an important part of evaluating any new construction community. At Woodland Preserve, homeowners pay both a monthly HOA fee and an annual CDD (Community Development District) assessment.

• HOA Fees: Currently estimated at $165 to $225 per month. The initial monthly fee starts lower during early phases and is expected to increase once the amenity center is fully completed. HOA dues cover amenity access, lawn maintenance, irrigation, landscaping of common areas, and gated community security.

• CDD Fees: The annual CDD assessment ranges from approximately $2,400 to $2,900 per year. CDD fees fund the infrastructure and development of the community, including roads, water management, and amenity construction. CDD fees are typically rolled into your annual property tax bill.

HOA and CDD fees can change over time. I recommend requesting the most current fee schedule directly from the builder or from me when you are ready to explore specific homes.
