Renaissance

Renaissance 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.

Renaissance is built by Mattamy Homes. 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.

The published price guidance for Renaissance is an estimate in the $300s, $900s 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.

Renaissance offers single family & villas, with floor plans of 2 to 3 bedrooms. Attached homes carry an association that maintains the building itself, so the fee covers more than it would on a single-family home and the association's reserves matter to you directly. 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.

Renaissance offers Clubhouse & resort pool, Fitness center, Tennis & pickleball courts, Dog park & fire pit, Playground, among others. 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.

Yes. Renaissance carries an estimated CDD assessment of $1,400 - $2,500, on top of an HOA fee estimated at $298 - $526 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.

The flood zone recorded for Renaissance 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.
