About Ridgeview Neighborhood
Ridgeview is a new master-planned community in Clermont that began development in 2018 and continues to offer new homes from three nationally recognized builders: Landsea Homes, Trinity Family Builders, and Pulte Homes. The community is strategically positioned on US Highway 27 in the heart of Lake County's rolling hills and scenic landscapes, providing a perfect blend of natural beauty and modern convenience.
The neighborhood features a variety of floor plans and architectural styles, with homes ranging from 1,643 to 4,417 square feet. Modern designs emphasize open-concept living with spacious great rooms, gourmet kitchens, and luxurious primary suites. Many homes include desirable features such as home offices, flex rooms, covered lanais, high ceilings, and smart home systems. Garages typically accommodate 2 to 3 cars, with some plans offering tandem or extended garage options.
What sets Ridgeview apart is its direct location across from Lake Louisa State Park, one of Central Florida's premier outdoor destinations. Residents can easily access hiking trails, biking paths, fishing spots, and camping areas. The community is also adjacent to the future Olympus Sports Complex, currently under development to the north, which will bring world-class athletic facilities even closer to home.
A significant advantage of Ridgeview is the absence of CDD (Community Development District) fees, which can add thousands of dollars annually to housing costs in many newer Central Florida communities. Combined with reasonable HOA fees (typically $77-$93 per month), Ridgeview offers exceptional value for new construction homes with premium amenities and an unbeatable location.
