Planned and completed are different counts, and the difference between them is not the number of homes for sale. Ask for current availability rather than inferring it. That completed figure is a floor, not a current total: this community is still being delivered, and the roll records no completion here in the year it was read while carrying that year for others. Either homes finished after the roll recorded them, or the parcels matched to this name are missing a phase. Ask for the current count.

Michael’s Take
Just 21 lots makes this one of the most exclusive, low-density addresses in Lakewood Ranch. Boutique communities like this rarely have resale inventory, getting in usually means buying new.
How Waterbury Park compares
From the county records
0%
Of the 1 matched residential units here claim a homestead exemption. That is too few finished homes to read anything into the share, so this page does not.
Newest completion recorded 2025. 3% of the parcels here were completed in the last three years, the most recent in 2025. That is below the share this site treats as actively delivering, so most of what trades here is resale, but it is not finished.
Arm’s-length sales recorded with Manatee County, read October 2026. Quitclaims, foreclosures, family transfers and pre-construction sales are excluded. Homestead requires the property to be a permanent residence, so the share carrying one is reported here as a share of matched residential units rather than as a count of who lives here. Homestead is a tax filing, not an occupancy count. A rented home can house full-time residents and will never carry the exemption, and an owner who lives here but never filed does not appear in it either. Read it as what share of matched residential units claim the exemption, not as who lives here.
At an estimated $5,506 a year in combined HOA and CDD, Waterbury Park sits about 7% below the Lakewood Ranch median of $5,923, ranking 18 of the 39 Lakewood Ranch communities whose fees this site tracks.

District documents
A community development or stewardship district is a unit of local government, not an association. Its assessment is billed with your property taxes rather than by the association, and its rules are public records of a different kind. Shown separately for that reason.
Lakewood Ranch Stewardship District
Why it applies to Waterbury Park: The district names each community it covers in its own FY2027 adopted assessment schedule or, where a community carries no bond debt, in its adopted FY2027 operations and maintenance budget. It levies two separate yearly assessments, a bond debt service assessment and an operations and maintenance assessment.

Waterbury Park FAQ
Does Waterbury Park have new construction homes?+
Yes, Waterbury Park is actively building in Lakewood Ranch. Builder pricing and incentives change often, so I can send the current list and represent you with the developer. What fee you owe, if anything, is set out in the written buyer-broker agreement we sign before touring; developer registration rules are confirmed for your specific purchase. Loop me in before your first model visit.
Who builds homes in Waterbury Park?+
Waterbury Park is built by Neal Signature (custom). Those homes now trade as resales rather than through the builder, so the original warranty has usually expired and the condition of the specific house matters more than who built it. Roof age is the first thing to establish, because Florida insurers weight it heavily.
How much do homes in Waterbury Park cost?+
The published price guidance for Waterbury Park is an estimate in the $1M+ range, not a live listing feed or a valuation. Pricing varies by the specific home, condition and lot. Ask me for current listings and recent comparable sales before setting an investment range or an asking price.
What kind of homes are in Waterbury Park?+
Waterbury Park offers single family, with floor plans of 3 to 5 bedrooms. As single-family housing, the roof, the exterior and the insurance on the structure are yours rather than an association's, which is the main practical difference from a villa or condominium. What a specific home includes, and what the association maintains, is set out in that community's documents and is worth reading before an offer rather than after.
What amenities does Waterbury Park have?+
Waterbury Park offers Only 21 homesites, boutique scale, Custom Neal Signature construction, Gated, private setting, Luxury single-family from $1M+, Access to LWR trail network. Worth separating two things that often get blurred together: amenities the HOA maintains and which every owner pays for, and club or golf facilities that may require a separate membership on top. Which category each amenity falls into determines your actual annual cost, and it is set out in the community documents rather than in any listing.
Is Waterbury Park still being built?+
The most recent home the county records in Waterbury Park was completed in 2025, across 30 platted parcels of which 1 carry a finished home. 3% of its parcels were completed in the last three years, the most recent in 2025. That is below the share this site treats as actively delivering, so most of what trades in Waterbury Park is resale, but it is not finished. Build year matters more in Florida than buyers expect, because insurers weight roof age heavily and it drives what a property costs to carry rather than just what it costs to buy.
Does Waterbury Park have a CDD fee?+
Yes. Waterbury Park carries an estimated CDD assessment of $658, on top of an HOA fee estimated at $4,848 yearly. A community development district assessment can have two components, and they behave differently: debt service repays the bonds that funded the roads, drainage and amenities, and ends when those bonds are retired, while an operations and maintenance charge pays to run what the bonds built and does not. Both are billed with your property taxes rather than by the association, and both are separate from the HOA. Assessments are set annually and vary by home and phase, so confirm the current components for the specific address.
What flood zone is Waterbury Park in?+
The flood zone recorded for Waterbury Park is X. Zones beginning A or V are the higher-risk categories, where a federally backed mortgage generally requires flood insurance, while zone X is lower risk and coverage is usually optional. Flood zone is assigned per property rather than per community though, and elevation can change both the requirement and the premium substantially, so get the zone and the elevation certificate for the exact address rather than relying on a community-level figure.
