Country Club East is Lakewood Ranch's second golf village, a gated community of lakes, preserves and fairways east of Lorraine Road. Homes are newer than in the original Country Club, and most are single-family pool homes built by well-known local builders. We're Eric and Traci Bolen of Sand + Sea Homes with eXp Realty, and we'd love to help you buy or sell here.

About Country Club East

Builder and years. John Cannon Homes, Lee Wetherington Homes, Arthur Rutenberg Homes, Cardel Homes, Neal Signature Homes and WCI (a Lennar company). Development began as the original Country Club neared completion, and the village is now essentially resale only.
Home types. About 1,260 single-family homes and 92 carriage-house-style condominiums in 20 subdivisions, per a 2022 Sarasota Herald-Tribune snapshot. Styles range from Tuscan and Spanish Mediterranean to Florida modern.
Gated? Yes.

Most homes are single-family, so prices generally run higher than in villages with condos and townhomes. Lot size and golf or lake views make a big difference from one subdivision to the next.

Country Club East is on the Manatee County side of Lakewood Ranch, so property taxes and public schools are Manatee County's. We check these details with you line by line:
Tax bill and CDD. Community Development District or stewardship district assessments are usually collected on the property tax bill, not by the HOA. Ask for the latest bill and whether any bond (debt) portion remains. Florida taxes also reset after a sale.
Association documents. Review the HOA budget, reserves, what the dues cover, and the leasing, pet and architectural rules before your inspection period ends. Some neighborhoods and condos have an extra association.
Insurance and flood zone. Get insurance quotes, and flood quotes where needed, before you're under contract. Flood zones are assigned home by home. Our post on whether Florida home insurance rates are coming down explains the current picture.
Zoned public schools for Country Club East, from the School District of Manatee County's 2026-27 attendance-zone locator (checked Oct 20, 2026 using addresses inside the neighborhood):
Elementary: Willis Elementary School
Middle: Nolan Middle School
High: Lakewood Ranch High School
Manatee County's new elementary and middle school zones took effect in 2026-27; new high school zones take effect in 2027-28, so the high school shown here may change. Manatee County families can also apply through the district's Controlled Open Enrollment (School Choice) window for programs such as IB at Johnson K-8 and Southeast High and AICE at Palmetto High. Manatee School for the Arts in Palmetto is a public charter school for grades 6-12 with its own application. School boundaries change, so always confirm the assigned schools for a specific address with the School District of Manatee County before you buy.
