Waterford is a gated, master-planned community on the northeast side of Venice, built around lakes and a golf course that give the streets their calm, open feel. Most of the active homes here sit behind a gate — eight of the nine on the market — with a handful offering private pools, so the day-to-day rhythm leans toward quiet, well-kept, resort-style suburban living. Families are drawn to the assigned schools at Garden Elementary School, Venice Middle School, and Venice Senior High School, and downtown Venice's beaches and dining are a short drive away. It's the kind of place people settle into rather than pass through.
For buyers, the market here is steady and negotiable. There are 9 active listings with a median list price of $525,000, and homes are averaging $232 per square foot at a comfortable median size of 2,322 square feet. Over the past year 38 homes sold at a median of $490,000, with sellers collecting about 96% of asking — a sign of a market where well-priced homes move but there's room to negotiate. If you want to compare it against nearby Venice homes for sale like those in Sarasota National or West Villages, start with the live map.

Waterford FAQs
Is Waterford a good place to live?+
It's a gated, golf-oriented community that suits buyers who want quiet, well-maintained streets and space — the median home runs about 2,322 square feet. Families benefit from assigned schools including Venice Senior High School, and downtown Venice's beaches are close by. It's a settle-in kind of neighborhood rather than a transient one.
Is Waterford expensive?+
It sits in the mid-market for the Venice area, with a median list price of $525,000 and active homes ranging from $334,900 to $715,000. There are currently no listings above $1 million, so it stays below the luxury tier while offering gated, pool-equipped options.
What do homes cost in Waterford?+
Active listings carry a median list price of $525,000 and average $232 per square foot, while homes that actually sold over the past year closed at a median of $490,000. For a broader look at pricing next door, compare Gardens Of St Andrews Park and other nearby communities.
How is the market in Waterford right now?+
It's steady and slightly negotiable — 38 homes sold in the past 12 months, and the median listing takes about 41 days to go under contract. Sellers are getting around 96% of their asking price on average, so buyers have some room to negotiate on well-priced homes. You can watch current inventory on the live map.
What about HOA fees and property taxes?+
Expect a median HOA of about $392 per month, which reflects the gated community and shared amenities. Property taxes run around $5,546 per year at current values, so budget for both when comparing against options like Venice Isle.
