Acreage is the median of positive lot-size observations below 100 acres coded RES in the research, not a measurement of every home lot. Samples can be incomplete or overlap; do not add them to calculate community totals. Confirm the actual parcel, original permit, additions and recorded map before relying on a date or size.
Evidence: history documented. Development dates, association formation and individual home completion are separate facts. Research updated October 10, 2026.

Questions to take to a showing
The useful details
What changes from one home to the next?
This is a named subdivision. The recorded plat, phase and parcel explain the legal footprint; the community name alone does not establish a home’s age, builder or shared rights.
What the records show
The county research keeps 7 recorded-name groups separate. “LAKEMOOR DIV 1” has 101 county records with a year built from 1964–2004, median 1969; sampled residential lots have a 0.33-acre median (101 observations); “LAKEMOOR DIV 5” has 73 county records with a year built from 1975–1988, median 1976; sampled residential lots have a 0.3-acre median (73 observations). These assessor samples help compare building eras, but do not establish the first or last home in a subdivision or the permit history of an individual address. 5 additional groups appear in the table below.
The sampled county records include CAMDEN PARK DR SW, CEDARBURY LN SW, CANTERBURY PL SW and 1 more street names. These are sampled records, not a mapped neighborhood boundary.
Questions to take to a showing
- Which recorded plat, phase and lot does the address belong to?
- Are the water view, beach path, dock or road rights recorded for this parcel, or are they simply nearby?
- What do the current governing documents, budget, dues and reserve records require?
