Amber Creek Townhomes For Sale | Lakewood Ranch, FL
Amber Creek Community Guide
New townhomes in Lakewood Ranch, FL, with low HOA fees, no CDD assessment, and maintenance-free living near top-rated schools.
Amber Creek Real Estate in Lakewood Ranch, FL
Amber Creek homes for sale sit in a boutique, 84-unit townhome community built by Ryan Homes near the corner of 44th Avenue East and White Eagle Boulevard in Lakewood Ranch, FL. Sales began in 2024, and the community’s new-construction inventory sold out by 2026, with homes built primarily in 2024 and 2025. Every attached townhome uses the same Mayport floor plan: 1,674 square feet, three bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms, a one-car garage, a double brick-paved driveway, and a covered lanai. The community is not gated and has no clubhouse or community pool; its shared amenity is a dog park, along with sidewalks connecting directly to B.D. Gullett Elementary and Dr. Mona Jain Middle School.
Amber Creek’s main draw is cost. Monthly HOA dues run $189 and cover lawn care and exterior maintenance, and the community carries no CDD assessment, an exception among newer Lakewood Ranch villages that typically add $1,000 or more per year in CDD fees. The location sits in Manatee County, roughly 10 minutes from I-75, giving quick access to Sarasota, Bradenton, and Tampa. Because construction is complete, buyers should expect to purchase from existing owners rather than the builder, and should confirm current HOA rules, pet restrictions, and lease terms directly with the association before making an offer.

Additional Amber Creek Neighborhood Information
All 84 homes in Amber Creek share the Mayport floor plan from Ryan Homes, a two-story attached townhome with 1,674 square feet, three bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms, and a one-car garage. The $189 monthly HOA fee covers lawn care and exterior building maintenance, reducing day-to-day upkeep for owners. Individual MLS listings show pet restrictions that include breed limits and a pet deposit; buyers with pets should request the current rules and regulations from the HOA before closing, since these were not verified across every unit.
Amber Creek sits in the northern part of Lakewood Ranch in Manatee County, near the intersection of 44th Avenue East and White Eagle Boulevard. The location places residents close to the Premier Sports Campus, Bob Gardner Park, and the Lakewood Ranch Library, and about 10 minutes from I-75. The nearest Publix is the White Eagle location on State Road 64, a short drive from the community.
Rental restrictions, minimum lease terms, and any club membership requirements were not found in publicly available sources and should be confirmed directly with the Amber Creek homeowners association or through the recorded governing documents before purchase. Amber Creek is not a golf community and carries no CDD fee, which keeps its total monthly carrying cost among the lowest of any Lakewood Ranch village.
