Shopping, dining, entertainment and nautical activities are all a part of life here. There are a few different subdivisions in the area, some of them being Community Development Districts (CDDs).

CDD neighborhoods offer amenities and long-term infrastructure
A CDD is a special-purpose governmental component designed to serve the long-term specific needs of a community through planning, financing, constructing, operating and maintaining community-wide infrastructure and amenities for its residents. Living in a community with a CDD usually comes with luxury amenities and community-sponsored events. A part of the CDD fees residents pay is repayment of Municipal Bonds, which is usually paid off in about 30 years. The other part of the fee covers operation and management fees and county taxes. In a community with both a Homeowner's Association (HOA) and CDD, the HOA is responsible for enforcing deed restrictions and neighborhood conditions. At the same time, the CDD handles general maintenance, amenities and infrastructure. The Oak Creek and Magnolia Park subdivisions are both CDDs. Progress Village is home to townhomes with pond views, attached garages, community pools, clubhouses and guarded gates. Homebuyers will also find ranch-style, midcentury modern, Colonial Revival, Spanish Revival homes and contemporary new builds. Home prices range widely in the area, with ranch-style homes starting at $70,000 and large Colonial-revival homes going for as high as $2.5 million.
