Background

A brief history

Spring Lake Villas was developed in the mid-1990s as an entry-tier alternative to the gated mega-communities like Vizcaya and Orange Tree. The developer platted a non-gated, villa-focused community with sidewalks and tenant tennis court amenity, targeting downsizers and first-time luxury buyers. The name references Spring Lake, a smaller interior lake surrounded by low-key residential streets. The community filled steadily through the late 1990s and early 2000s, with few new lots remaining available.

The feel

What it's like to live here

Spring Lake Villas feels intimate and quiet — a non-gated neighborhood of two-to-three-bedroom villas on small corner lots. Mature trees line the streets and frame the lakeside gazebo. Homes range 1,300–1,800 square feet, with many featuring updated kitchens and screen rooms from owner renovations. There is no gate, but the street layout is somewhat isolated from main thoroughfares, creating a tucked-away village feel. The community skews toward empty-nesters, retirees, and first-time luxury buyers.
