No CDD fees in older neighborhoods, though some have HOA dues.

Lakes Lucas, Thomas, Calm, and others have established lakefront communities. Lakefront homes typically run $550,000 to $1.1 million+. See the waterfront homes guide.
Buyer Strategy in Land O Lakes
Compare New Construction and Resale
With Bexley and Connerton both offering active new construction, resale buyers should benchmark against builder pricing before making offers on existing homes. Builder incentives (closing cost contributions, rate buydowns) can make new construction competitive with resale. Resale advantages include larger lots, more mature landscaping, and established neighborhoods.
Understand the CDD Fee Landscape
Newer communities (Bexley, Connerton, parts of Ballantrae) have CDD fees. Older neighborhoods generally do not. CDD fees in Land O Lakes communities typically run $800 to $3,000+ per year. Always request CDD disclosure documents before going under contract. Use the mortgage calculator to model total monthly costs including CDD.
Seller Strategy in Land O Lakes
Price Competitively Against New Construction
With Bexley and Connerton builders actively selling, resale sellers in the $350,000 to $550,000 range face direct competition from brand-new product. Resale homes must be priced to reflect their age, condition, and updates relative to new construction. Homes that need cosmetic work should price at a discount to new construction; homes with meaningful improvements can hold closer to builder pricing.
Highlight School Zone and Community Features
Bexley and Connerton buyers often choose Land O Lakes for Pasco County Schools access and community amenities. Sellers in these communities should highlight HOA amenities, school zone assignments, and community character in their listing strategy.
