Background

A brief history

Sawgrass Bay was established in 2006 as a master-planned community in Clermont and began home construction in 2008. The community was developed over a 13-year period (2008–2021) by nationally recognized builders including Lennar, DR Horton, KB Home, and Taylor Morrison. This phased development approach allowed for infrastructure maturation and amenity buildout, creating a fully realized neighborhood with over 1,200 homes by 2025. The community's on-site elementary school opened with the earliest phases and has become a defining feature that sets Sawgrass Bay apart in the region.

The feel

What it's like to live here

Sawgrass Bay embodies the appeal of new construction at scale. With homes built between 2008 and 2021 by top national builders, the community offers architectural diversity while maintaining consistent quality standards. Homes range from 1,627 to 5,087 square feet, accommodating families at every life stage. The neighborhood is defined by its integrated resort-style amenities—championship-level fitness center, heated pool and spa, pickleball and tennis courts, a nearby golf course, and trails—creating a lifestyle-first environment rather than just a traditional subdivision.

The presence of Sawgrass Bay Elementary within the community adds a family-oriented character. Streets are tree-lined, spacing between homes is generous (20 feet), and the community maintains modern, well-kept grounds. Residents enjoy the balance of newer construction, professional management, and convenient location 20 miles from Walt Disney World, making it appealing to both relocating families and investors seeking affordable entry into the Clermont market.

The details

What to expect

Architecture & Homes

Sawgrass Bay homes reflect the styles and standards of their builders. You'll find everything from traditional two-story Lennar homes to single-level DR Horton ranch plans, KB Home contemporary designs, and Taylor Morrison architecture. Home sizes range from 1,627 square feet (2 bed / 2 bath) to over 5,000 square feet (5 bed / 4 bath). Most homes have tile or laminate flooring, open floor plans, and energy-efficient HVAC. Newer homes (2015–2021) feature higher-end finishes. Lot sizes typically range from 0.15 to 0.35 acres, with 20-foot spacing between homes providing privacy without sprawl. Many homes have screened patios and pool-friendly backyards.

Amenities & Lifestyle

Sawgrass Bay's amenities are its strongest draw. The centerpiece is a championship-level fitness center with cardio, free weights, group classes, and locker rooms. The resort-style pool features a deep end, shallow end, and zero-entry access, with adjacent spa/hot tub and cabana seating. Sports facilities include pickleball courts (growing in popularity with 55+ buyers), tennis courts, a full basketball court, and a community park with children's playground. Residents also enjoy a dog park, nature walking trails, and nearby access to a championship golf course. HOA fees cover all maintenance, security, and amenity operations—a significant value proposition.

Schools

Sawgrass Bay Elementary School is located within the community at 16325 Superior Blvd, serving grades K–5. The school enrolls approximately 771 students and is part of Lake County Schools, which operates 43 elementary schools across the region. The on-site location is a major selling feature; many families choose Sawgrass Bay specifically for safe, walkable access to elementary school. The school offers a Gifted & Talented program. For middle and high school, students transition to other Lake County schools. The elementary school's reputation and in-community location directly support home values here.

Location & Access

Sawgrass Bay is located in the Four Corners area of Clermont, just off U.S. Route 27 and near U.S. Highway 192. The community is approximately 20 miles southwest of Walt Disney World, making it attractive to families relocating for theme park employment or seeking affordable proximity to the tourist corridor. Downtown Clermont is a short drive north, offering dining, shopping, and services. The location provides easy access to the I-4 corridor for commuting to downtown Orlando or other Central Florida destinations. Lake Louisa State Park is less than 10 minutes away, offering outdoor recreation. The zipcode is 34714.

Market Commentary

What the market is doing

I've sold multiple homes in Sawgrass Bay, and the market dynamics here are straightforward: strong fundamentals with consistent buyer demand. Homes are selling at an average of $453,455, or about $172 per square foot—reasonable pricing for newer construction with amenities in Lake County. The price range of $335K to $630K gives you breadth; a 3-bed, 2-bath starter home under $400K moves quickly, while 4–5 bed homes in the $500K+ range attract families relocating from higher-cost markets. Days on market typically run 71 days, which is healthy for Clermont. The community has built a strong reputation, so positioning and photography matter—these homes sell on their amenities and location, not on scarcity. If you're selling, lead with the school, the pool, the fitness center, and the Disney proximity. Those four things drive traffic.
