Creekside Landing is a neighborhood in the Central Area of The Villages, in Sumter County (ZIP 32162), beside Lake Sumter Landing Market Square. It has two sections: the Cabanas — about 180 courtyard villas built in 2008 and 2009 — and a smaller enclave of 20 Designer Homes on the western arc of Merryweather Way, built in 2008. Its main draw is location: the square is close enough to reach on foot. Bond amounts differ between the two sections, so verify the exact figure for any specific home.

The reason to look at Creekside Landing is simple and real: you can walk to a town square. The neighborhood sits a short walk from Lake Sumter Landing Market Square, so the waterfront dining, shops, and free nightly entertainment are on foot rather than a cart drive away. Few villages put the square this close, and for a buyer who values leaving the cart at home, that walkability is the whole appeal.
Most of Creekside Landing is the Cabanas section — about 180 courtyard villas built in 2008 and 2009 across ten streets: Southern Sun Drive, Tall Pine Lane, Peninsula Street, Old Dominion Road, Creekside Drive, Commodore Drive, Blackwater Drive, Atlas Drive, Van Patten Place, and the eastern stretch of Merryweather Way (house numbers 1176 to 1242). County records show living areas from roughly 1,400 to 2,600 square feet, with most between about 1,700 and 2,000 — larger than many buyers expect for a courtyard villa, and including several expanded and customized homes.
The other section is one of the smallest home groups in The Villages: exactly 20 Designer Homes on the western arc of Merryweather Way (house numbers 1062 to 1172), built in 2008. That means low through-traffic, a settled streetscape, and neighbors who know each other. Buyers who want the central location without the scale of a several-hundred-home village look here specifically — though with only 20 homes, resale inventory in the enclave is scarce and worth patience.
Golf and recreation are close at hand. Arnold Palmer Legends Country Club is the nearest championship course, the neighborhood's own Creekside Landing Recreation area on Peninsula Street has family pools, bocce, shuffleboard, and a pavilion, and Lake Miona Recreation Center is within easy cart range. One naming note worth knowing: Creekside Landing was formerly listed as the Village of Bridgeport at Creekside Landing, and village signage and some listings still use the Bridgeport name — same place. A third section, Edgewater Bungalows, sits just to the north in a different community development district and has its own page.

Two kinds: about 180 courtyard villas in the Cabanas section, and 20 Designer Homes in a small enclave on the western arc of Merryweather Way. County records show Cabanas living areas from roughly 1,400 to 2,600 square feet, most between about 1,700 and 2,000.
Lake Sumter Landing Market Square, and it is close enough to walk to — waterfront dining, shops, and free nightly entertainment, with Coastal / Key West character (opened 2004).
Arnold Palmer Legends Country Club is the nearest championship course. Executive courses throughout the central area are included with the amenity fee for walking play.
It differs by section, and both figures were verified against the district's 2025 schedules. In the Cabanas section, homes still carrying the bond pay about $965 a year (a low amount); in the 20-home Designer enclave, about $1,954 a year. Both sections date to 2008–2009, so some homes have paid the bond off entirely. Always verify the exact remaining balance in writing for any specific home.
Yes. Creekside Landing was formerly listed as the Village of Bridgeport at Creekside Landing — one of six "Bridgeport" villages. Village signage and some listings still use the Bridgeport name; it is the same neighborhood. Its Cabanas and Designer enclave sections are covered here; the third section, Edgewater Bungalows, has its own page.
