Lexington Oaks Homes for Sale, Wesley Chapel FL

About Lexington Oaks

Lexington Oaks is a large master-planned neighborhood just off State Road 54 in Wesley Chapel, laid out around a golf course that winds through lakes, wetlands and oak hammocks. Homes went up mostly in the 2000s and are split into named villages, which is why buyers will see phase numbers on MLS listings. Most homes are single-family, and a few villages such as Churchill Villas offer smaller villa-style homes, some behind their own gates. The neighborhood sits inside a Community Development District, so expect a CDD line on the tax bill in addition to HOA dues. Shared amenities include a heated community pool, fitness center, tennis and basketball courts, a playground, a splash pad and walking trails. Because the course is public, homeowners on the fairways see regular daily play, and a home on a hole is not the same as a golf membership. Lexington Oaks appeals to buyers who want a golf view and quick Interstate 75 access without paying country club dues. Lot sizes, HOA coverage and gate status change from village to village, so check each listing for the specifics.

The golf at Lexington Oaks

Lexington Oaks Golf Club opened in January 2000 as an 18-hole championship layout by Naples architect Gordon Lewis. It plays to roughly 6,700 yards from the back tees with four sets of tees, so the course works for a wide range of players. Water and wetlands come into play on many holes, and the routing threads through the neighborhood, which gives a lot of homes fairway or pond views. The club operates as a public facility with online tee time booking and posted daily rates, and it also offers memberships for regular players. There is a practice range, and Omari's Bar and Grille handles food and drinks. The club hosts leagues, charity outings, corporate events and banquets, so the clubhouse doubles as a neighborhood gathering spot.

Is club membership required in Lexington Oaks?

Optional. The course is open to the public with posted green fees and online tee times. The club also sells optional memberships; homeowners are not required to join.

Living in Lexington Oaks: location and lifestyle

Lexington Oaks sits about a mile from Interstate 75 on State Road 54, which makes it one of the more convenient golf neighborhoods for commuting into Tampa. The Shops at Wiregrass, Tampa Premium Outlets and the new retail along State Road 56 are a short drive, as is AdventHealth Wesley Chapel. Public schools are part of the Pasco County district; check assignments by address because boundaries shift as the area grows. Weekend options include the Wiregrass Ranch sports campus, the Hillsborough River for paddling, and Saddlebrook for tennis and dining. The tradeoff for location is traffic: State Road 54 backs up at peak hours, so plan commute times accordingly. For dining, the Wiregrass and Tampa Premium Outlets area has dozens of chain and local restaurants, and the course grille gives residents a casual spot close to home. Buyers who fly often will like the straight shot down Interstate 75 and Interstate 275 to the airport outside peak hours.
