Cedar Grove at The Woodlands is a gated single-family new-construction community in North Port, Sarasota County, built by Centex, the value-focused brand of national builder PulteGroup. It sits inside The Woodlands, a master development off Toledo Blade Boulevard served by The Woodlands Community Development District (The Woodlands CDD, woodlandscdd.org).
The community is planned around roughly 314 single-family homesites with one and two-story plans, many on water or preserve homesites, plus a neighborhood pool, pool cabana, and tot lot (Centex and new-home listing sources, 2026). Because it is a builder community, the buy is a new-construction buy: the plan, the included features, the homesite premium, and the build timeline drive the number more than any townwide average.
The carrying cost here is the thing to read carefully. As a CDD community, homes carry a CDD assessment on the annual tax bill in addition to the HOA dues, so the all-in monthly is higher than the HOA line alone suggests. Confirm the exact CDD balance and annual assessment, the HOA dues, and any homesite premium for the specific lot before you commit.
The pitch is gated, low-maintenance new construction inside an amenity master plan, with North Port's I-75 access to Venice, Sarasota, and the Gulf beaches. The work is sorting the plan and the homesite, reading the combined CDD-plus-HOA math, and pricing against real new-build and resale comps in a North Port market that has absorbed heavy builder supply.
