What people like about the Village of Lake Denham
Lake Denham's homes include Cottage Homes, Courtyard Villas, Verandas, and Patio Villas. Courtyard Villas are designed around a private walled courtyard, which gives meaningful outdoor living space in a compact lot. The Morgan Courtyard Villa model is one of the developer's current showcase models in this area.
The Market at Sawgrass Grove and its outdoor boxcar stage are among the nearest commercial anchors. The Market is a provisions and dining destination with a communal atmosphere; the boxcar stage hosts regular outdoor entertainment separate from the main town square entertainment lineup. Franklin Recreation provides a family pool, outdoor courts, and lawn game areas for daily use.
The main consideration is Lake County. Despite being in the southern part of The Villages, Lake Denham's county assignment means a higher effective property tax rate (~1.6% vs about 1.29% in the southern Sumter villages). Combined with the annual bond assessment — roughly $1,598 to $3,015 in most sections, and about $3,251 to $3,375 in four units — the annual carrying cost picture is different than it would be in a comparable Sumter County village. Buyers need that number in their budget before comparing asking prices.
