Serving Single-Family Homes and Paired Villas Across Windward's British West Indies Community
Lakewood Ranch's Southern Gateway Has a Character All Its Own
Windward at Lakewood Ranch is a gated Neal Communities development of approximately 780 to 900 homes across 540 acres, located at the southern edge of Lakewood Ranch at the intersection of Fruitville Road and Lorraine Road in Sarasota County, just three and a half miles east of I-75 at Exit 210. Neal Communities, Southwest Florida's largest locally owned and operated private homebuilder, is the exclusive builder for the entire community, which opened in 2020 and features a consistent British West Indies architectural theme with Dutch Colonial enhancements throughout. The community includes single-family homes and paired villas across multiple series, with paired villa pricing starting in the high $300,000s and luxury Coastal Series single-family homes reaching the $800,000s and above. The 7.8-acre amenity campus anchors the community with a 9,600-square-foot clubhouse, a full-time Lifestyle Director, a resort-style zero-entry pool, a dedicated lap pool, eight pickleball courts, two tennis courts, sports fields, two dog parks, an event lawn, a volleyball court, and miles of walking and biking trails. Homes are maintenance-assisted, with the HOA covering mowing and landscaping across the community.
Eagle Fence serves Windward homeowners who want to add fencing that fits the community's tropical aesthetic, works with the HOA's maintenance arrangement, and satisfies Sarasota County requirements.

If you own a home or villa at Windward and are thinking about adding a fence, Eagle Fence is ready to help you sort through your options. We handle material selection, HOA coordination, Sarasota County permitting, and installation from start to finish. Reach out today and let's talk through what works best for your lot.
A Cohesive Community With a Defined Aesthetic That Shapes Every Fencing Decision
British West Indies Architecture and Maintenance-Assisted Living Set the Context
Windward is one of the more architecturally cohesive communities in all of Lakewood Ranch. Because Neal Communities is the sole builder and the British West Indies with Dutch Colonial theme runs throughout every street and every elevation, the HOA has a genuine interest in maintaining that consistency, and fencing that clashes with the tropical, open character of the neighborhood is unlikely to receive approval. Clean, open-style fencing that complements the lush landscaping and island aesthetic tends to align well with what this community favors.
The maintenance-assisted arrangement adds a practical layer to every fencing conversation at Windward. With the HOA handling mowing, edging, and landscaping across the community, gate placement, locking hardware, and overall fence layout need to allow continued crew access to the maintained areas on your property. Paired villa homeowners face an additional consideration, as villa sections typically carry their own governing documents that can restrict or limit exterior modifications beyond what applies to single-family lots. Eagle Fence reviews the specifics of your home type, lot orientation, and applicable HOA guidelines before recommending anything, so homeowners have a clear picture of what is workable before any decisions are made.
Quality Installations Backed by Decades of SWFL Experience
Neal Builds With Pride. Our Fences Reflect That.
Neal Communities has spent over 50 years building homes across Southwest Florida, earning a reputation for quality, customer service, and community investment that is well-established throughout the region. The homes at Windward reflect that legacy, and the fencing we install here should too. Eagle Fence has been serving Southwest Florida since 1987, and we bring the same attention to finished quality to every Windward installation as we do on any other community in the area. Every post is set correctly, every panel is level, and every gate works the way it should from the day we pack up and leave.
Aluminum Fencing
Aluminum fencing provides clear boundary definition while maintaining visibility across your property. It offers a clean, structured look and works well around yards, pools, and landscaped areas.
Chain Link Fencing
Chain link fencing offers a practical way to define property boundaries while maintaining visibility. It is well suited for larger yards, side areas, and properties that prioritize function.
Vinyl Fencing
Vinyl fencing is valued for its consistent appearance and minimal upkeep. It is commonly used for privacy and boundary fencing where a clean, uniform look is preferred.
Wood Fencing
Wood fencing provides flexibility in design and layout, allowing it to adapt to a wide range of properties. Its natural appearance helps it blend easily with landscaping and home features.
Swimming Pool Fencing
Swimming pool fencing creates a safe, controlled barrier around pool areas while maintaining visibility. It supports safer pool use without disrupting the flow of outdoor spaces.
Privacy Fencing
Privacy fencing is designed to limit visibility and create more defined outdoor spaces. It is often used along property lines or around areas where separation and comfort matter most.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, and it is one of the most important aesthetic considerations at Windward. A community built around a cohesive tropical island theme has a genuine HOA interest in maintaining that visual consistency. Open, clean fencing styles that complement lush landscaping and island-inspired architecture tend to align well with what Windward’s HOA looks for. Heavier, more solid fencing styles that work against the open, airy feel of the neighborhood are less likely to receive approval. Eagle Fence considers the community’s architectural character alongside the HOA guidelines when recommending materials and styles.
When the HOA is responsible for mowing, edging, and landscaping maintenance across the community, any fence needs to allow crews continued access to the maintained areas on your property. Gate placement, locking hardware, and the overall fence layout all need to account for that access arrangement. Eagle Fence factors the maintenance-assisted structure into the planning process on every Windward project so the fence works with the HOA’s responsibilities rather than around them.
Typically, yes. Paired villa sections in communities like Windward often carry their own governing documents that place tighter restrictions on exterior modifications, including fencing, given the shared-wall nature of the homes and the HOA’s responsibility for exterior maintenance. Whether fencing is possible on your villa homesite, and to what extent, depends on your section’s specific documents. Eagle Fence reviews those details before recommending any direction.
Yes. Windward sits within Sarasota County jurisdiction rather than Manatee County, which applies to many other Lakewood Ranch communities. Most fence installations in Sarasota County require a permit depending on height and scope. Eagle Fence handles the Sarasota County permitting process as a standard part of our service so you do not need to coordinate with the county directly.
Yes. Florida’s pool barrier requirements apply to every residential pool regardless of what community amenities exist nearby. Any private pool must be enclosed by a compliant barrier with self-closing, self-latching gates meeting minimum height specifications under state code. Eagle Fence installs pool fencing that satisfies those requirements while aligning with the aesthetic standards of Windward’s HOA.
Generally, yes. When a single builder like Neal Communities develops the entire community under one architectural theme, the HOA guidelines tend to be more internally consistent and predictable than in communities with multiple builder tiers and diverse home styles. That does not mean approval is automatic, but it does mean the standards are well-defined and Eagle Fence can prepare submissions that are well-positioned for approval from the start.
