Key takeaways for Riverwood buyers

These are the facts that decide most Riverwood purchases. Each bullet carries its footprint and window, and the sections below show the sources and the arithmetic.

Data updated: October 2026.

Footprint: every county parcel with one of 14 short legal designators, 1,321 parcels in ZIP 33953 and tax district 109. The county codes 1,015 as single family and 174 as condominium (Grand Vista and Willow Glen).
Homes: 90 recorded sales at a $371,000 median from October 1, 2025 through September 4, 2026, from $230,000 to $915,000, at $199 a square foot, with 0 builder-direct sales.
Condominiums: 16 recorded sales at a $230,000 median in the same window, from $175,900 to $250,000, at $145 a square foot.
Direction: home medians were $585,000 in 2023, $495,000 in 2024, $422,500 in 2025 and $357,450 for 2026 through September 4, down from the 2022 to 2023 peak. We do not forecast.
What moves price: homes with a pool sold at $440,000 (59 sales) against $320,000 without one (31), and size separates prices more than any other county field.
Resale only: the roll shows 0 homes built 2020 or later, and nearly every home was built from 1993 to 2016.
Two governments: the Riverwood Community Association (RCA) under chapter 720 and the Riverwood Community Development District (RCDD) under chapter 190, with neighborhood associations beneath them.
The district: its fiscal year 2027 assessment is $1,620.15 per residential unit, and its debt is scheduled to end with a final payment on May 1, 2033.
Taxes: district 109 is 15.3705 mills for 2026, so a home at the $371,000 median works out to about $5,702.46 a year without exemptions, or $7,322.61 with the district line.
Golf: membership is optional and sold on the club's own 2027 schedule; owning a lot gives no membership interest.
Flood and roofs: the lot decides the flood zone, we print no single zone, and Citizens' phased flood requirement reaches all of its remaining wind-covered policies on January 1, 2027.
Closing: a $750 working capital contribution by the purchaser on every transfer is in the Declaration, and the estoppel certificate shows the current amount.

What is Riverwood, and where is it?

Riverwood is a gated, deed restricted golf community in ZIP 33953 on the Myakka River side of Port Charlotte, in unincorporated Charlotte County. The association counts 29 neighborhoods and 1,322 homes on about 1,300 acres, and the entrance is Riverwood Drive off State Road 776.

Data updated: October 2026.

We define Riverwood as every county parcel whose short legal starts with RWD, SAW, MPR, OPL, GVR, WGG, FLR, SBR, LSV, SLR, RFS, ETR, BYR or RSR. That gives 1,321 parcels: 1,015 coded single family (land use 01xx), 174 coded condominium (04xx: Grand Vista 90 and Willow Glen 84) and 132 common area, club, preserve and other. The association says 29 neighborhoods and 1,322 homes on about 1,300 acres (riverwoodflorida.org/who-we-are, retrieved 2026-10-29), and the district bills 1,323 residential units (FY2027 adopted budget), so we say about 1,320 homes. All 1,321 parcels are in tax district 109.

Source: Charlotte County Property Appraiser parcel roll dated October 28, 2026, compiled by Domain Realty Group, per the county legal description; the association's 29 neighborhood names nest inside these.

The association's neighborhoods map onto the county codes as follows. SAW holds Westport Ridge, Estuary, Oyster Bay, Driftwood Pointe, Pompano Cove, River Run, Channel Ridge, Clipper Cove, Fishers Landing and Stillwater Trace. MPR holds Logan's Pointe, Bailey's Pond, Marlin Cove and Tarpon Harbor I and II. RSR is The Reserve twin villas, and RWD is Riverwood Units 1 to 3. Sawgrass Pointe is the largest village, with 356 homes built 2007 to 2015.

Who developed Riverwood?

The association's own history booklet (March 2021) gives the chain. Mariner Development Corporation assembled the land from 1987 and was permitted in November 1990 for 3,300 units. Riverwood Land Group followed, with a bankruptcy in June 1997. Centex's purchase was reported on January 27, 1999 (Charlotte Sun, as cited by the booklet), and Centex built Myakka Pointe from 2003 and Sawgrass Pointe from 2007.

The first homeowner closed in 1993, and the booklet names Yorktown, Fero, Arthur Rutenberg and Miller as the early builders as a group. About 1,320 homes were built in the end. We name no builder for any village, because the permit record for an address names the contractor.

Is Riverwood gated?

Yes. Riverwood is gated with a 24 hour staffed main gate, according to the association and district sites. The association says the main gatehouse is manned by live guards 24 hours a day and that two more entrances use transponders. Guests and vendors are called in at the gate, and residents receive transponders from the access control supervisor.

Is Riverwood age restricted?

The recorded documents decide that question, not a website. The documents section below reports what we found in the 2024 Amended and Restated Declaration and the Rules and Policies, and why you should read the supplemental declaration for the specific home before you make an offer.

Riverwood homes sold for a $371,000 median across 90 recorded sales from October 1, 2025 through September 4, 2026, and condominiums sold for a $230,000 median across 16 sales.

Lead window: homes and condos

Home price per living square foot peaked at a $289 median in 2022 and was $196 for 2026 through September 4. In the lead window homes sold at $199 and condominiums at $145. Square footage is the county's heated living area.

Village by village

Most villages have few sales, so the table prints a count and median only where the village recorded 10 or more sales in the 36 months to September 4, 2026. Homes are the county single family code, and Grand Vista and Willow Glen are condominiums.

Village (36 months to September 4, 2026)	Sales	Median	Range	Per square foot

Four villages recorded fewer than 10 sales in 36 months, so no median is shown: Bay Ridge (5 sales, $275,000 to $465,000), Eagle Trace (7 sales, $385,000 to $975,000), Silver Lakes (5 sales, $415,000 to $740,000) and The Reserve (4 sales, $270,000 to $382,000).

How our county numbers differ from other sites

We count homes as parcels the county codes single family, which includes villas, twin villas and the Tarpon Harbor and Oyster Bay neighborhoods, and we count condos as the 174 parcels the county codes condominium. Counts built from association documents, for example our sister site's community page, split villas and more condominium units out, so their medians differ from ours. Both are right for their definition, and a county median here should never be compared with a figure built on another definition.

What makes one Riverwood home sell for more than another?

Riverwood homes with a pool sold at a $440,000 median against $320,000 without one in the lead window, and homes with the county's water frontage flag sold at $395,000 against $357,450. Size separates prices most: in the 36 months to September 4, 2026, homes over 2,800 square feet sold at $907,500.

Data updated: October 2026.

These splits describe recorded sales and do not prove a cause. Pool homes are also larger, and the flag covers several kinds of water.

Pools

In the lead window, 59 home sales with a pool had a $440,000 median and 31 without one had $320,000. In the 24 months to September 4, 2026 the split was 88 sales at $450,000 against 40 at $322,500, and in 36 months it was 110 at $475,000 against 54 at $336,250. The roll shows a pool on 657 of 1,015 homes (64.7 percent).

Water frontage on the county roll

The county roll flags water frontage (lake, pond, preserve edge or river) on 504 of 1,015 homes (49.7 percent). In the lead window, 40 flagged sales had a $395,000 median and 50 unflagged sales had $357,450. Over 24 months it was 61 at $425,000 against 67 at $374,000, and over 36 months 80 at $450,000 against 84 at $390,000. The flag does not say which water, and it is not a claim of river, Gulf or boat access. Buyers who need boat access to the harbor should look at the canal neighborhoods on our Port Charlotte waterfront homes for sale page.

Size

Living area is the clearest separator. The table covers the 36 months to September 4, 2026.

Living area (36 months to September 4, 2026)	Home sales	Median	Per square foot
Under 1,500 sq ft	2	$327,500	$227
1,500 to 1,800 sq ft	55	$346,000	$213

Age of the home

In the 12 months to September 4, 2026, 23 home sales built before 2000 had a $350,000 median ($182 a square foot), 42 built 2000 to 2009 had $387,500 ($210) and 26 built 2010 or later had $408,000 ($207). Newer homes sold higher, by less than size or a pool.

Village

Village overlaps with size and age. In the 36 months to September 4, 2026, Myakka Pointe recorded $725,000 and Fairway Lakes $540,000, while Osprey Landing and Stonebridge sat near $353,500 and $363,500. The village table above gives each count and range.

The mix is single family homes and twin villas in 12 villages, with two condominium villages. The county's single family code does not say whether a building is detached or attached, so check the Property Appraiser sketch and plat.

Single family homes

The 1,015 coded single family parcels have a median living area of 1,904 square feet, with the middle half between 1,735 and 2,391. By decade built, 269 are from the 1990s, 542 from the 2000s and 204 from the 2010s.

Villas and twin villas

The county codes the villas and twin villas with the homes, including The Reserve, Tarpon Harbor and Oyster Bay, which have their own neighborhood associations. The district's budget lists twin villa product lines for The Reserve, Marlin Cove, Villas at Tarpon Harbor II, Oyster Bay, Pompano Cove and Stillwater Trace. Ask each neighborhood what its dues cover.

Condominiums

Grand Vista has 90 condominium parcels built 2000 to 2004, and Willow Glen has 84 built 1993 to 2006, 174 in all, with a median living area of 1,516 square feet. The roll flags none of them with a private pool. Their recorded sales are in the sections above, and our Port Charlotte condos for sale page covers the wider condominium market.

Age and size

Homes were built from 1993 to 2019, but one 2019 record in Fairway Lakes is an outlier, so nearly every home was built from 1993 to 2016. Condominiums were built from 1993 to 2006. The median home is 1,904 square feet and the median condominium 1,516.

Pools

The roll shows a pool on 657 of 1,015 homes (64.7 percent), led by Eagle Trace at 93 percent and Redfin Shores at 90 percent of homes. Lakeshore Village (25 percent) and Stonebridge (27 percent) are the lowest. None of the 174 condominium parcels carries a private pool on the roll.

Building code era

The statewide Florida Building Code took effect on March 1, 2002. Homes permitted before that were built under earlier local codes, and homes permitted after it were built under the statewide code, so the permit record decides, not the year built. The 1993 to 1997 villages were built entirely before the statewide code. Check the Charlotte County Citizen Access portal, Building module, for each address.

Roofs and insurance

Citizens asks for roof documentation on shingle roofs over 25 years old and on tile, slate, concrete or metal roofs over 50 years old, and it asks for a four-point inspection on homes more than 20 years old (Citizens inspections page, retrieved 2026-10-29). The 249 homes built from 1993 to 1997 (of 1,015 on the roll) are past 25 years for an original shingle roof. By the county roll, 595 homes and all 174 condominium units were built 2006 or earlier. Ask for the roof age and the permit finals.

Permit history

The county's Citizen Access portal is a free public lookup. Open the Building search, enter the street address, and read each record's type, status and dates for roof, air conditioning, window and pool work. Open or expired permits can follow a house to the next owner.

Condo milestone inspections and SIRS

Florida's milestone inspection law (s. 553.899) and structural integrity reserve study law (s. 718.112) apply to condominium buildings of three habitable stories or more. We have not verified the story counts for Grand Vista and Willow Glen. Ask each association for its milestone and reserve study status, or for a written "not applicable" statement, and we never assert compliance.

What does it cost to own a Riverwood home each year?

Riverwood owners pay county property tax at 15.3705 mills in district 109 plus the Riverwood CDD's $1,620.15 assessment on the same tax bill. At the $371,000 home median that estimates to $7,322.61 a year without exemptions, and at the $230,000 condominium median to $5,155.37, before association dues, utilities and insurance.

Data updated: October 2026.

The recurring costs sit in five places: the county tax bill, the association dues, the district's water, sewer and irrigation bills, insurance and optional clubs. Only the first is published to the dollar, so the rest are items to ask for.

Property tax in district 109

All 1,321 Riverwood parcels are in tax district 109. The Property Appraiser's 2026 final millage chart gives the district a total of 15.3705 mills: school 6.2720 and non-school 9.0985. The table applies those rates to the lead window medians. It assumes assessed value equals the sale price, the homestead column assumes $25,000 off the school value and $50,000 off the non-school value, and every figure is an estimate.

Estimate, 2026 rates	Home at $371,000 median	Condominium at $230,000 median
Non-homestead tax (15.3705 mills)	$5,702.46	$3,535.22
Homestead school tax (6.2720 mills)	$2,170.11 on $346,000	$1,285.76 on $205,000
Homestead non-school tax (9.0985 mills)	$2,920.62 on $321,000	$1,637.73 on $180,000
Homestead total	$5,090.73	$2,923.49
Plus CDD $1,620.15, non-homestead	$7,322.61 a year ($610.22 a month)	$5,155.37 a year ($429.61 a month)
Plus CDD $1,620.15, homestead	$6,710.88 a year ($559.24 a month)	$4,543.64 a year ($378.64 a month)

Assessed value differs from price, Save Our Homes resets at sale, homestead needs ownership on January 1 and a filing, and the second homestead exemption amount is indexed. Paying in November earns the 4 percent discount.

The CDD line

The district's $1,620.15 is 22.1 percent of the non-homestead first-party bill on the median home ($7,322.61) and 31.4 percent on the median condominium ($5,155.37). It does not move with price, so it weighs more on a lower-priced home. The next section covers what it buys.

Association assessments

The RCA bills quarterly, with assessments due January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1, and billing by Myers-Brettholtz. The amounts are not published on the open pages, and they vary by neighborhood, with landscape service an added assessment where the association maintains the neighborhood. Neighborhood and condominium associations add their own dues. Get the numbers from the estoppel certificate or the listing.

Utilities billed by the CDD

Water, sewer and irrigation are billed by the district separately from the tax bill. We found no published retail rate table, so we print none and do not paste county utility rates, which do not apply. Ask the seller for a recent bill.

Insurance

Citizens' approved Charlotte County averages, effective July 1, 2026 for new policies, are $2,887 for a homeowners multiperil policy and $1,438 for a condominium unit owner policy. These are county averages, not Riverwood quotes. Collect wind and flood quotes from an independent agent using the rebuild value.

Optional clubs

Golf and the Beach Club are optional and priced separately: the Beach Club annual membership is $475 plus sales tax, and the Social golf club membership is $2,400 a year. Each is covered below.

One-time costs at closing

The Declaration (section 12.12) sets a $750 working capital contribution paid by the purchaser on every transfer, unless the Board sets another amount, so confirm it on the estoppel. A $25 lease notification fee applies if you will rent, and the owner must give the Board 7 days of prior written notice of transfer (section 19.13).

What is the Riverwood CDD, and what does it pay for?

Riverwood Community Development District is a chapter 190 special district, created by Charlotte County Ordinance 91-58 in 1991, that runs the gatehouse operation, roads, preserves, lakes, drainage, the Activity Center campus and the community's water, sewer and irrigation systems. It bills $1,620.15 per residential unit for fiscal year 2027.

Data updated: October 2026.

The district is managed by Inframark, has five supervisors, and publishes its budgets and audits at riverwoodcdd.org. It is not the homeowners association. We do not state how the supervisors are elected, because the sources we read conflict.

What the district owns and runs

The FY2027 general fund carries gatehouse payroll of $300,000 (Access and Control totals $337,000), a roads reserve transfer of $200,000 a year, preserve, lake and storm drain contracts, and the Activity Center campus. The district also owns the Beach Club, the RV and boat park and the dog park, and it operates the water, sewer and irrigation utilities. The club parcels pay a separate commercial assessment, and a homeowner's assessment does not buy club access.

FY2027 assessment

The district adopted its fiscal year 2027 budget on August 18, 2026 (page 17). The assessment is $1,620.15 a year per residential unit, made of $1,104.17 for operations and maintenance and $515.98 for debt service, and it is the same for every residential product from a condominium to an estate home. FY2026 was $1,620.93. The district bills 1,323 residential units, and 121 commercial units (119 club and 2 maintenance building) pay $986.39 each.

The general fund

Fiscal year 2027 runs October 1, 2026 to September 30, 2027. The adopted general fund balances at $1,539,738, almost flat against FY2026, with a projected FY2026 shortfall of $155,260 that leaves a projected fund balance of $607,521 at September 30, 2026.

General fund line	FY2026 adopted	FY2027 adopted
Special assessments (gross, via tax collector)	$1,565,188	$1,564,394
Early payment discounts (4 percent)	minus $64,188	minus $64,156
Total revenues	$1,540,500	$1,539,738
Administrative	$224,750	$219,738
Environmental services (preserves, lakes, storm drains, contingency)	$280,000	$275,000
Access and control (gatehouse payroll $300,000, gate repairs $20,000 in FY2027)	$341,400	$337,000
Landscape services (common areas)	$171,350	$190,000
Activity Center campus	$273,000	$268,000
Reserve transfers (roadways $200,000, Activity Center $50,000)	$250,000	$250,000
Total expenditures	$1,540,500	$1,539,738

Source: Riverwood CDD FY2027 adopted budget, adopted August 18, 2026. Storm drain cleaning ran $78,388 against a $50,000 budget in FY2026.

The district's debt and when it ends

The debt is the Series 2018 Special Assessment Revenue Refunding Note (Valley National Bank), $7,500,000 issued March 22, 2018 at 3.795 percent, with a final payment on May 1, 2033. The balance was $4,526,000 at September 30, 2025 and $4,033,000 after the May 1, 2026 payment. FY2027 debt service is $665,052: $512,000 of principal and $153,052 of interest. The $515.98 debt piece of each bill therefore has a visible end date. Whether the assessment can be prepaid at sale is not published, so ask the district manager.

Utilities

The district runs three enterprise funds. The FY2027 water fund budgets $804,000 of operating revenue against $751,050 of expenses, the irrigation fund $286,000 against $268,560, and sewer expenses are $1,286,700. The water fund buys bulk water from Charlotte County Utilities.

How it shows on the tax bill

The assessment is a non-ad valorem line on the county tax bill, levied under chapter 190 and collected under the uniform method (ss. 197.3631 to 197.3635). Read the district line on the last bill before you offer, and compute the first year from the sale price. A payment in November earns the 4 percent discount.

Meetings and records

The board meets at the Activity Center, 4250 Riverwood Drive, and the district posts agendas, budgets and monthly financial reports on its finances page. The FY2025 audit is filed with the Florida Auditor General and shows net position of $18,324,799 at September 30, 2025.

Which associations govern Riverwood, and what do the documents say?

Riverwood is governed by Riverwood Community Association, Inc. under chapter 720, by the Riverwood CDD under chapter 190, and by neighborhood or condominium associations beneath them. Each has its own documents, so read the declaration, budget and supplemental declaration for the specific neighborhood before you make an offer.

Data updated: October 2026.

The association's public library holds the master documents and about 30 neighborhood supplementals. That is why there is no single homeowners fee for Riverwood.

Riverwood Community Association

The RCA is a not-for-profit corporation with articles filed on July 13, 1992. It has five volunteer directors with three-year terms and a General Manager and staff at 4250 Riverwood Drive. Assessments are due quarterly on January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1, with billing by Myers-Brettholtz.

Neighborhood associations

The association describes three neighborhood regimes. Fourteen are RCA maintained: Bailey's Pond, Channel Ridge, Clipper Cove, Driftwood Pointe, Estuary, Fishers Landing, Lakeshore Village, Logan's Pointe, Osprey Landing, Redfin Shores, River Run, Royal Oaks, Stonebridge and Westport Ridge.

Ten are incorporated, with their own boards and managers: Grand Vista, Marlin Cove, Myakka Pointe Villas, Oyster Bay, Pompano Cove, Stillwater Trace, Tarpon Harbor I, Tarpon Harbor II, The Reserve and Willow Glen. Five are self-maintained: Bay Ridge, Eagle Trace, Fairway Lakes, Riverside and Silver Lakes. Source: riverwoodflorida.org landscaping page, retrieved 2026-10-29.

Recorded documents

The original Declaration is recorded at O.R. Book 1227, Page 1371. The Amended and Restated Declaration is dated April 2, 2024 (Instrument #3388274). A Marketable Record Title Act notice was recorded October 13, 2020 (O.R. Book 4645, Page 678), and the Amended By-Laws were recorded April 17, 2025. The documents are public at the RCA document library.

Rentals

Declaration section 14.19 allows leasing of the whole lot only, in writing, with no subleasing or assignment without Board approval, and each neighborhood supplemental sets its own lease terms. The Rules define a long term lease as three consecutive months or more. Osprey Landing's supplemental sets a one month minimum. Logan's Pointe amended its rule on August 26, 2026 (Instrument #3686270, recorded September 23, 2026) to a 30 consecutive day minimum and no more than 3 leases in 12 months.

The RCA asks for its Lease Notification Form plus a copy of the lease, with a $25 fee, and the owner loses facility use during the lease.

Pets

Dogs, cats and usual household pets are allowed (Declaration section 14.3), and pets outside a lot must be leashed. The dog park has separate large and small dog areas. Condominium and neighborhood documents may add limits, so read yours.

Golf carts

Private golf carts are allowed under the RCA golf cart policy approved on May 27, 2026. The Rules limit drivers on community roads to age 16 or older with a valid license, and carts are allowed on streets and not on sidewalks.

Estoppel certificate

An estoppel certificate shows what you will owe. Under s. 720.30851 it is issued within 10 business days of a written request, with a fee capped at $250 when nothing is delinquent, plus $100 for delivery within 3 business days and up to $150 more if delinquent. It is valid for 30 days if delivered by hand or electronically and 35 days if mailed, and item 6 discloses any capital contribution or transfer fee. Condominium units use chapter 718, and a separate condominium estoppel applies (s. 718.116(8)).

Disclosure summary and CDD notice

Section 720.401 requires a pre-contract disclosure summary for a home in a homeowners association, and a buyer has a three day right to cancel if it is not delivered. Section 190.048 requires a community development district disclosure in the sale contract. We state that the statute exists and do not quote its wording.

Age rule

The 2024 Amended and Restated Declaration and the Rules and Policies contain no age restriction (searched October 29, 2026); neighborhood supplemental declarations can add rules, so read the one for the home you want before you make an offer.

Is golf membership required in Riverwood?

Riverwood golf membership is not required: Declaration section 16.2 says owning a lot gives no ownership or membership interest in the club, which is privately owned, open to the public and managed by Coral Hospitality. Membership is optional and priced on the club's own 2027 schedule, from a $2,400 social membership to golf dues above $10,000.

Data updated: October 2026.

The association's own wording is that the course is privately owned, open to the public and available for memberships. Prices below are the club's, dated, and subject to change.

Who owns the course

The Declaration says the club is private property owned and operated by an entity independent of the association, so the course is separate from both the RCA and the district. Coral Hospitality manages it. We name no purchase price or owner of record.

The course

Riverwood Golf Club, 4100 Riverwood Drive, is an 18 hole, par 72 course designed by Gene Bates. Yardages on the club scorecard are Black 7,004, Blue 6,472, White 6,034, Gold 5,376 and Red 4,695.

2027 membership table

Membership (club schedule for 2027)	Joining or application fee	Annual dues
Signature Golf	$20,000, non-refundable	$10,400 family or $8,700 individual
Invitational Annual Golf (recallable)	none	$15,400 family or $13,700 individual
Membership Special 2027	no joining fee for two years, then $5,000 off the joining fee	annual dues special $11,100 family or $9,900 individual
Social Club	$500 application fee	$2,400 family or individual

Source: Riverwood Golf Club 2027 membership schedule, read and visually checked October 29, 2026. All amounts are plus Florida sales tax and "subject to change at the sole discretion of the club."

What residents can use without a membership

Lunch at the clubhouse is open to residents, and the course is open to the public with tee times through the club. Evening dinners and events need a golf membership. Every lot carries an easement that allows golf balls hit from the course to unintentionally come upon the lot (Declaration section 16.6), so read that article if the home backs onto the course.

What amenities does Riverwood have?

Riverwood amenities include a pool and spa, six tennis courts, six pickleball courts, three bocce courts, a croquet court, three activity buildings, a stand-alone 24 hour fitness center with three class rooms, and a boardwalk and overlook with a kayak launch on the Myakka River at Tarpon Harbor II. Golf is separate.

Data updated: October 2026.

This list comes from the association's amenities page, verified October 29, 2026. Confirm any amenity that matters to you on site.

Activity Center campus

The Activity Center campus at 4250 Riverwood Drive has three activity buildings, a library, a craft room and meeting rooms, an outdoor pavilion and a pool with a spa. The Rules set pool hours of 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. daily. The district owns the campus.

Tennis, pickleball, bocce and croquet

The courts are six lighted Har-Tru tennis courts, six pickleball courts, three bocce courts and a croquet court. The association lists league play, lessons and clinics for tennis and pickleball.

Fitness center

The fitness center is stand-alone, open 24 hours and has three class rooms. The Rules set the posted staff hours and rules.

Kayak launch and boardwalk

The amenities page lists a boardwalk and overlook with seating and a kayak launch on the Myakka River at Tarpon Harbor II. We make no boat ramp, dock or marina claim. The Rules prohibit swimming or flotation devices in any lake, pond, river or stream.

Beach Club on Manasota Key

The Beach Club at 2610 Beach Road, Manasota Key, is owned by the district and is a separate paid membership. It is capped at 415 resident households with a wait list ($50 wait list fee plus sales tax), and the annual membership is $475 plus sales tax. Memberships started after June 1, 2022 do not transfer with a home sale (Rules Part 6.4). The Beach Club site says the club is 14 miles from Riverwood.

Dog park, library and storage

The dog park has separate large and small dog areas and is owned by the district. RV and boat storage is a fee-based park with limited spaces and a wait list, with registration and insurance required.

Nearby state parks and forest

Three state-managed public lands are nearby, with fees as the state pages list them (retrieved 2026-10-29). Myakka River State Park, at 13207 State Road 72, charges $6 per vehicle (2 to 8 people) and is open 8 a.m. to sunset. Myakka State Forest has 8,593 acres, 40 or more miles of trails and a $2 day pass. Charlotte Harbor Preserve State Park has 45,507 acres and charges no fee.

Is Riverwood in a flood zone?

Riverwood has no single flood zone, because the lot decides. Federal records rate 470 of 475 single family flood insurance policies in the clubhouse census block group as Zone AE, but a policy record is not a map. Check the FEMA Flood Map Service Center for the address and ask for the elevation certificate.

Data updated: October 2026.

Riverwood has lake, preserve and river frontage and 14 villages built over 26 years, so one address's result must never be extended to the whole community. We make no claim about damage at any address.

How to check one address

Use the FEMA Flood Map Service Center address search, which returns the zone, base flood elevation, panel number and effective date, and a free FIRMette map. Ask the seller for the elevation certificate. Florida also requires the seller's flood disclosure at or before the contract (s. 689.302), which asks about past flooding, flood claims and flood assistance.

What federal policy records show

These are NFIP policy records, not a map. In the census block group that holds the clubhouse, 470 of 475 single family policies are rated Zone AE, and 334 of the 338 that carry a base flood elevation show 8 feet (OpenFEMA NfipPolicies v3, policies effective on or after September 1, 2025, pulled October 29, 2026). Lenders require flood insurance in AE zones, so this overstates the AE share of all homes.

Elevation and premiums

In the same block group, policies with the lowest floor 0 to 1 foot above the base flood elevation average $2,049 a year, and policies 2 to 3 feet above average $967. The mean charged premium is $2,166 against a full-risk premium of $4,470, and FEMA says annual increases are typically held to about 18 percent, so many premiums keep rising for several renewals. Charlotte County is Class 5 in FEMA's Community Rating System, a 25 percent discount on NFIP premiums.

Ian, Helene and Milton claims in ZIP 33953

NFIP claims filed in ZIP 33953 (OpenFEMA, pulled October 29, 2026) are federal counts, and the ZIP is larger than Riverwood, so a claim count does not say what flooded.

Storm	Claims in ZIP 33953	Paid	Total paid	Main causes
Ian, September 2022	75	15	$622,253	rainfall accumulation (25), tidal overflow (24)
Helene, September 2024	40	34	$1,591,475	mostly tidal (22 of 40)
Milton, October 2024	22	9	$459,924	tidal (11 of 22)

The Myakka River at the state park gauge, about 18.8 miles upstream, set a record of 12.84 feet on October 1, 2022 (NOAA, NWS and USGS).

Citizens flood rule 2027

Citizens requires flood insurance on its wind-covered residential policies, phased in by replacement cost, and the rule reaches all other policies on January 1, 2027 (s. 627.351(6)(aa)). Condominium unit owner (HO6) policies and policies that exclude wind are exempt. Citizens' 2026 Charlotte County averages are $2,887 for homeowners and $1,438 for unit owners, county averages and not Riverwood quotes. The NFIP is authorized through December 11, 2026, so bind flood coverage early.

Condo insurance

In a condominium the association insures the building and the unit owner insures the interior (HO6), with at least $2,000 of loss assessment coverage (s. 627.714). Ask the association for the master policy declarations page, the flood status of the building and the deductible rule.

Storm protocol at the gate

The district's emergency plan (May 27, 2026) says gate staff leave at sustained 30 mph winds and the gate arms are removed so the gates open for evacuation and emergency vehicles. Plan to leave before then.

What utilities, services and drive times should I expect in Riverwood?

Riverwood homes get water, sewer and irrigation from the Riverwood CDD, not Charlotte County Utilities, and the district bills them separately from the tax bill. We have not confirmed the electric provider by address. Punta Gorda Airport is about 19 road miles away, by our estimate.

Data updated: October 2026.

Riverwood is in unincorporated Charlotte County, so the county governs zoning and permits. Which services apply to a lot is a lookup, not an assumption.

Water, sewer and irrigation

The district owns the water lines and the sewer and wastewater treatment facilities and bills water, sewer and irrigation separately. The district buys bulk water from Charlotte County Utilities. To start service, send the CDD connection request form with a copy of the warranty deed (billing page). We found no retail rate table on the pages we read.

Electric, trash and internet

We have not confirmed the electric provider, the trash route or the internet providers for Riverwood addresses. Ask the seller for the electric provider and average bill, and check provider maps by address.

Schools

The Charlotte County Public Schools locator decides which schools serve an address. We name no school here, because a ZIP code does not set zoning.

Roads and projects

The district maintains Riverwood's streets from its assessment. On the state road, SR 776 at Riverwood Drive is an unfunded wish-list item on the Charlotte County-Punta Gorda MPO's 2026 project priorities (TSMO rank 39), not a project, as of the May 18, 2026 board packet.

Drive times from Riverwood

These are estimates, not measurements: road miles estimated as straight-line distance from the center of Riverwood times a road factor, rounded, with drive times that vary by season, gate wait and traffic. Check a map from your address.

Destination	Road miles (about)	Minutes (about)
Murdock area, US 41 and SR 776	8 to 10	17 to 20
Downtown Punta Gorda	15	25 to 30
Punta Gorda Airport	19	30 to 35
Englewood Beach	13 to 14	25 to 30
Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW)	53	60 to 65

Source: estimates by Domain Realty Group, October 29, 2026. The Beach Club site states 14 miles to the Manasota Key club.

What should I check before I make an offer in Riverwood?

Riverwood buyers should check thirteen things before an offer: the neighborhood supplemental, the estoppels, the district line on the last tax bill, the $750 contribution, the district utility account, roof age, wind mitigation, the elevation certificate and flood quote, permit history, condo milestone status, rental terms, golf and Beach Club status, and gate steps.

Data updated: October 2026.

The table compares recorded prices, not value, and the windows end on different dates. Riverwood's county basis includes villas with the single family code, and Kings Gate and Heritage Oak Park define their footprints on their own pages, so read each page's definition before you compare. The six-ZIP number includes the whole market, from older platted lots to new homes, so it is a benchmark, not a peer group.

Which page to read next depends on the question. For golf inside a gate, read Kings Gate. For a district-managed community without golf, read Heritage Oak Park. For canal-area lots, read South Gulf Cove. For the whole market, start at Port Charlotte homes for sale.

No builder-direct sale was recorded in any window, and the roll shows 0 homes built 2020 or later. The newest single family village is Redfin Shores, built 2011 to 2015, plus one 2019 record in Fairway Lakes. Riverwood is a resale market.

Does the CDD fee include water and sewer?

No. The district bills water, sewer and irrigation separately from the tax bill. The $1,620.15 is a non-ad valorem line on the county tax bill. Start service with the connection request form and a copy of the warranty deed.

What are Riverwood HOA fees?

There is no single answer. Riverwood Community Association assessments are billed quarterly and vary by neighborhood, and neighborhood or condominium associations add their own dues. The amounts are not published on the open pages, so order the estoppel certificate or read the listing.

Who runs Riverwood, the HOA or the CDD?

Both, for different things. The association administers the covenants under chapter 720, with five directors and a General Manager. The Riverwood CDD under chapter 190 owns and runs the gate operation budget, roads, preserves, Activity Center campus and utilities and bills an assessment on the tax bill.

Does Riverwood have an age rule?

Is Riverwood gated?

Yes. Riverwood is gated with a 24 hour staffed main gate, according to the association and district sites, and two more entrances use transponders. Guests and vendors are called in at the gate.

Do I have to join the Riverwood golf club?

No. Declaration section 16.2 says owning a lot gives no ownership or membership interest in the club, which is privately owned, open to the public and managed by Coral Hospitality. Membership is optional and priced on the club's own schedule.

What does a Riverwood golf membership cost?

On the club's 2027 schedule, Signature Golf has a $20,000 non-refundable joining fee and $10,400 family or $8,700 individual dues, Invitational dues are $15,400 family or $13,700 individual, and Social is $2,400 plus a $500 application fee. All are plus tax and subject to change.

Can I eat at the clubhouse without a membership?

Lunch is open to residents, according to the association. Evening dinners and events need a golf membership. Check the club for current hours and rules, which it sets.

Do I need flood insurance in Riverwood?

It depends on the lot's zone, your lender and your insurer, and we never say it is not needed.

Bind flood early, because the NFIP is authorized through December 11, 2026.

Homes were built 1993 to 2019 at a 2003 median, and nearly every home was built from 1993 to 2016. The roll has no roof year, so use the permit record. Citizens asks for roof documentation on shingle roofs over 25 years old.

The milestone and reserve study laws apply to condominium buildings of three habitable stories or more. We have not verified the story counts for Grand Vista and Willow Glen, so ask each association for its status or a written "not applicable" statement.

What closing costs are unique to Riverwood?
