Kenwood Glen 1 of St. Andrews East is a small maintenance-free villa village inside St. Andrews East, a sub-association at The Plantation Golf and Country Club in Venice, Sarasota County. It is organized as a Florida condominium, with the association managed locally by Argus Management of Venice (Argus Management public listing, 2026).
The Plantation is a master community whose development began in the early 1980s and grew to roughly 2,400 residences across dozens of separate condo and HOA associations, a mix of estate homes, patio homes, attached and stand-alone villas, and mid-rise condos, with two Ron Garl championship golf courses at its center (The Plantation Management Association and Concert Golf Partners materials). St. Andrews East itself is a newer section, with much of its villa stock built in the mid-2000s (community and listing guides, 2026).
Because it is a condominium, the money here is made or lost on the association budget, the reserve funding, any milestone or structural inspection status, the roof and systems condition, and the per-parcel flood zone, not on the Plantation name. Club membership is optional and carries its own separate fees.
The pitch is a low-maintenance villa lifestyle inside a well-known golf community, with the work being a careful read of the condo documents, the reserve study, the insurance and flood math, and whether club membership fits your plans before you buy.
