| CDD Fee | None | $2,000-$5,000+/year | None |
| Golf Course | Championship course on-site | Yes (included in HOA) | No |
| Gated Security | 24/7 guarded gate | Automated gate | Often not gated |

💡 Value Proposition: Legends delivers established luxury living with championship golf, 24/7 guarded security, and extensive amenities without the burden of CDD fees that can add thousands of dollars annually to new construction golf communities.

Legends HOA & CDD Information
Legends is governed by a mandatory homeowners association that maintains the community's exceptional standards and amenities. The HOA is responsible for maintaining common areas, the guarded gate entrance, landscaping, street lighting, and all community facilities including the pool, fitness center, tennis and pickleball courts, basketball court, and playground. The association also enforces architectural guidelines to preserve property values and the community's aesthetic appeal.
One significant advantage of Legends is the absence of Community Development District (CDD) fees. Unlike many newer golf communities in Central Florida that impose annual CDD assessments ranging from $2,000 to $5,000 or more, Legends homeowners avoid this additional expense. This can result in savings of tens of thousands of dollars over the life of homeownership, making Legends an excellent value proposition for those seeking an upscale golf community lifestyle without excessive fees.
