Life is about finding what brings you joy. It can come in many forms—spending time with family, laughing with friends, or giving back to the community. But they usually have one thing in common. People. Our community events, robust club offerings and abundant philanthropic opportunities ensure you won’t have to go far to find yours. Residents have formed groups and clubs for every interest, from gardening to games, and they welcome newcomers with open arms.
Two of the reasons the lifestyle at Lakewood Ranch is so rich is because of the residents themselves and the involvement of Lakewood Ranch Community Activities (LWRCA). LWRCA is a non-profit dedicated to enriching the lives of residents with clubs and events that bring people together. With over 60 clubs, you’re likely to find the right fit. The Ranch is also home to 16 places of worship and faith communities of all kinds.
It’s easy to meet your neighbors and make quick friends at our community-wide events. Mingle on Wednesdays at Ranch Nites, work it out at boot camp at the community park or get festive with us at our annual holiday celebrations! Your neighborhood may even have its very own lifestyle director, and the range of programming from poolside parties to live music is limitless.
Villages with Lifestyle Directors: Cresswind // Esplanade at Azario // Lorraine Lakes // Star Farms // The Lake Club // LakeHouse Cove at Waterside // Wild Blue at Waterside // Windward
