Crescent Ridge HOA & CDD Information
Crescent Ridge has a mandatory homeowners association (HOA) managed by Crescent Ridge Homeowners Association. The HOA maintains neighborhood common areas, entrance landscaping, and enforces community standards to preserve property values and the neighborhood's attractive appearance. Historical HOA fees have been in the range of $80-$122 per quarter, though fees may have changed since this data was collected.
One significant advantage of Crescent Ridge is the absence of Community Development District (CDD) fees. Many newer communities in the Clermont area impose CDD assessments that can range from $2,000 to $5,000 or more annually on top of regular property taxes. By avoiding CDD fees, Crescent Ridge homeowners benefit from lower overall housing costs compared to similar homes in CDD-encumbered communities.
The neighborhood does not feature community amenities such as a pool, clubhouse, or fitness center, which keeps HOA fees lower than master-planned communities with extensive recreational facilities. Instead, residents enjoy spacious private lots ideal for personal pools, outdoor living spaces, and custom landscaping.
