The newest lakefront address near Restaurant Row.

Sand Lake Sound is Meritage’s lakefront community on Little Sand Lake, finished between 2019 and 2022. It mixes about 106 townhomes with 77 single-family homes, and many of the single-family lots reach the water.
A pool, clubhouse, splash pad and dog park sit inside the gate, along with a fishing pier and a canoe launch. Restaurant Row is close enough that the builder called it walkable.
