Even though Lakewood Ranch has been around for a quarter of a century, fresh ideas from developers such as Jeff Hirschberger make this master-planned community feel as if it recently broke ground. In Florida, Hirschberger is known for his luxurious and intimate neighborhoods, and Hidden Creek at Lakewood Ranch is a perfect example of his work.

Hidden Creek is located in the southwest corner of Lakewood Ranch, not far from the desirable University Park district, a 25-minute drive from Downtown Sarasota, and about six minutes away from Main Street at Lakewood Ranch. In this great location, you will find 46 spacious townhouses built in an updated version of the Spanish Colonial architectural style. You have a couple of floor plans to choose from: The Eddy and the Ripple. If you are looking for maximum space, the Eddy offers three bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms with a two-car garage built on 2,440 square feet of interior. The Ripple is a bit more compact, but it offers the same number of bedrooms and bathrooms. As of September 2019, pricing at Hidden Creek started around $378K for a Ripple model.

In addition to being one of the most attractive villages in Lakewood Ranch, Hidden Creek has the distinction of featuring the latest in energy efficiency and hurricane-proof construction. Once you consider the interior design and the many extras in each unit, you will come away with the impression that the pricing is very reasonable; the townhouses include nice details such as granite countertops, travertine window ledges, soundproofing, discrete entrances for maximum privacy, recessed LED lighting, Moen faucets, tropical landscaping, and more.

In addition to luxury construction, Hidden Creek also offers neighborhood amenities such as a swimming pool with cabanas, fitness center, fire pit, jacuzzi, and a grilling area. Aside from Main Street, nearby attractions include Nathan Benderson Park, Conservatory Park, and The Mall at University Town Center. Driving to the beach at Siesta Key will take you about 30 minutes.
