The Homes & Style
The Village of LaGrange is Eastport's newest Designer and Premier neighborhood, set between the Woodlands Championship Golf Club and Central Lake. The Villages builds and sells these homes direct, in 3- and 4-bedroom floor plans with 2- and 3-car garages and golf-car garage options, configured at The Street of Dreams Design Center.
Because LaGrange is selling new through 2025 and 2026, there is no third-party MLS resale feed yet. There are no closed comps to price against, so confirm current base pricing and the available homesites directly with The Villages, and read the lot premium for a view rather than assuming it.
The differentiator here is the homesite itself. LaGrange flanks Central Lake, so a handful of lots offer golf and lake views at once, the rarest position in Eastport. Designer homes give you the value entry into the neighborhood; Premier homesites and the view lots sit at the top.
This is a build, not a resale, so the buy is about the plan, the lot, the view, and the options you select, not a renovation read. The decision that compounds is the homesite, because views and golf frontage cannot be added later.
LaGrange's edge is the rare golf-and-lake view homesite flanking Central Lake. Its sister village, Edenfield, is golf-front. If the water view matters to you, that is the reason to be in LaGrange.
Living Here
LaGrange is built for the walkable Eastport lifestyle, with the town center, the lake, and championship golf all within a short golf-car ride.
Golf is the headline: the Woodlands Championship Golf Club (18 holes, par 72) and the par-27 Bellaire Executive course are right here, with the Central Lake Golf Academy for lessons. The future LaGrange neighborhood recreation adds an adult pool and lawn games, and the regional Olympia Recreation Complex sits a short ride away.
Eastport Town Center wraps the 1,000-meter Central Lake with waterfront pathways, dining, and shopping, and the Eastport Hotel opened in January 2026 with a lakefront restaurant and resort pool. Daily life runs on the golf car.
Living here also means the full Villages amenity system: 100-plus recreation centers, free executive golf, pools, pickleball, and nightly town-square entertainment, all funded by the monthly amenity fee rather than an HOA. Confirm the current amenity fee and what it includes with The Villages.
Before You Offer
The Villages does not use a traditional HOA. Your carrying cost is the monthly amenity fee plus a CDD capital bond plus an annual maintenance assessment on your tax bill plus property taxes. Get all four numbers for the exact homesite before you commit, because they are easy to miss when you are looking at a base home price.
The amenity fee has recently been in the roughly $199 per household per month range for 2026, but it adjusts, so confirm the current figure with The Villages rather than relying on a number in print. The CDD bond is financed infrastructure you can pay over time or pay off; ask for the bond balance assigned to the specific lot and the annual maintenance assessment, since both vary by district and homesite.
Because LaGrange is sold direct and brand-new, there is no resale comp set and no MLS history to price against. That is normal for a new Villages neighborhood, but it means the only honest way to value a home is the current base price plus the lot premium plus the options you select. Confirm current base pricing with The Villages and get the view premium itemized.
LaGrange is 55-plus age-restricted, so school zoning is not the buying factor it is in a family community; the relevant question is lifestyle, golf, and the lake-view lot, not the school district. Confirm the age-restriction terms and any occupancy rules in writing.
Comparisons
LaGrange's closest peer is its sister Eastport village, the Village of Edenfield, built in the same wave. Both are brand-new, both are 55-plus, both share the Eastport golf and town-center lifestyle, and both carry the same Villages fee structure of amenity fee plus bond plus maintenance assessment rather than an HOA. The honest difference is the homesite. Edenfield is positioned golf-front against the Woodlands Championship course, the better fit if your priority is fairway frontage and the golfer's view off the lanai. LaGrange flanks Central Lake, so its rarest lots deliver golf and lake views at once, the better fit if you want water in the picture. Against the broader Eastport and Wildwood new-build market, LaGrange wins on walkability to the town center, the hotel, and the lake, and on the scarcity of true view lots; it gives up the established resale track record that older Villages neighborhoods have. The honest summary: LaGrange is the lake-and-golf view play in Eastport, Edenfield is the golf-front play, and the right one depends on whether the water view is worth the premium to you.
| Community | Edge |
|---|---|
| Village of LaGrange | Golf-and-lake view homesites flanking Central Lake; walkable Eastport Town Center |
| Village of Edenfield | Golf-front position against the Woodlands Championship course; same Eastport lifestyle |
| The Villages / Wildwood | The wider southern-expansion market with more inventory and price range |
The verdict: if you want the rare water-plus-golf view and the walk to Eastport, LaGrange is the target; if you want pure fairway frontage, look hard at Edenfield first.
