Antigua

Antigua is essentially sold out of new construction, so homes here come up as resale. I can set you up with alerts the moment one hits the market and give you an honest read on value before you offer.

Antigua is built by Lennar. Two things matter if you are buying new here. Register your agent on the FIRST visit: most builders pay the buyer-agent fee, but only if representation is declared before you tour, and afterwards it is usually too late. And a builder's contract is their contract, not the standard Florida form, so the deposit terms, the completion date and what happens if the build runs late are worth reading closely.

The published price guidance for Antigua is an estimate from the $400s, 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.

Antigua 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.

Golf is central to Antigua, but living in a golf community and holding a golf membership are two different things and the distinction costs real money. Membership structures vary: some are required with the home, some optional, some sold separately to non-residents, and some carry a waiting list. Confirm which applies to the specific address, and the current dues, directly with the club before relying on it.

Antigua offers Gated entry with water & preserve views, Single-story floor plans, Access to Downtown Wellen, Near top-rated schools, Golf-cart community access. 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.

244 arm's-length sales have been recorded in Antigua since October 2023, at a median of $511,000. The middle eighty percent of those sales fell between $385,000 and $1,221,000, which is a better guide to the range than the extremes. Antigua is new enough that most of these are original builder sales rather than resales, so they read as a price list more than as a resale market. These are prices recorded with Sarasota County, not asking prices, so they describe what buyers and sellers actually agreed. Figures read October 2026; quitclaims, foreclosures and family transfers are excluded.

42% of the 177 matched residential units in Antigua claim a homestead exemption, which Florida grants only on an owner's permanent residence, read from the Sarasota County roll in October 2026. That reads as a mix of homes claimed as a permanent residence and homes that are not. Read that figure with care here: Florida homestead is filed the year after a purchase, so a community still being delivered reads lower than it will settle at. 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.

The most recent home the county records in Antigua was completed in 2025, across 181 platted parcels of which 177 carry a finished home. 97% of its parcels were completed in the last three years, so Antigua is still being delivered: expect construction nearby, and the lot choice that comes with it. 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.

Yes. Antigua carries an estimated CDD assessment of $1,628, on top of an HOA fee estimated at ~$300 monthly. 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.
