Bridgeport at Miona Shores is one of the go-to sections for buyers who want a genuinely large home in a settled central-area location. The homes here are Premier and custom plans built between 2004 and 2008 — models like the Sanibel, Sanibel II, Natchez, St. James, and Grand St. Augustine — and they run big, from around 2,600 square feet up past 4,600. This is not a villa neighborhood; it's for people who want room.
The setting is the draw. The section sits on the north side of Lake Miona, and its own Clearwater Run and Miona Shores Drive addresses put residents close to the water. The Lake Miona Shores Recreation area on Clearwater Run has an adult pool, bocce, and shuffleboard, and the larger Bridgeport Recreation Center is also close.
For golfers, Arnold Palmer's Legends championship course is about five minutes away in the neighboring Bridgeport at Lake Miona section. Bonds on 2004–2008 homes are partway through their payment schedule, so a partial balance is typical rather than the full original amount. Sumter County's lower tax rate and quick access to Lake Sumter Landing round out the appeal.
