Three Town Centers. One Vibrant Community.

COME EXPLORE THE HEART OF IT ALL.

The town centers at Lakewood Ranch give you easy access to simple luxuries like waterfront dining and spa services. Each has its own personality and charms, but all set the stage for extraordinary moments with friends and neighbors. The energy that fills our streets turns every visit into a celebration.

Waterside Place

Discover a vibrant mix of food and drink, beauty and wellness, shopping, entertainment and town center living all along the water’s edge of Kingfisher Lake. Waterside Place is Sarasota’s first lakefront entertainment destination. With a fully programmed events calendar, it has become home to some of our favorite signature events, including the #1 Farmers’ Market in America, Ranch Nite Wednesday and live music.
