Colonnade at Heron Bay: What Sets It Apart From the Rest of the Development

Within Heron Bay’s collection of villages, Colonnade occupies a distinct position — and buyers who are drawn to the estate end of the market often find it to be their answer.

I’ve written about Heron Bay broadly — the north-south distinction, the shared amenity package, the range of price points the community accommodates. But Heron Bay isn’t one neighborhood; it’s a collection of distinct villages, and Colonnade deserves its own conversation.

The Identity of Colonnade

Colonnade is one of Heron Bay’s most prestigious villages, positioned at the upper end of the community’s price spectrum. The homes here are larger — many exceeding 4,000 square feet — with lot sizes and architectural standards that reflect a custom and semi-custom construction approach that distinguishes Colonnade from the production-built villages within the same master association.

The community’s streetscape is one of the most appealing in all of Parkland: mature tree lines, well-maintained common areas, and a sense of scale and finish that signals where you are before you’ve looked at a single listing.

The Homes

Colonnade homes were primarily built in the late 1990s through the early 2000s, which means buyers are working with floor plans that reflect the formal entertaining sensibilities of that era — large foyers, formal living and dining rooms, split bedroom layouts, and generous primary suites. For buyers who want that traditional luxury floor plan, Colonnade is one of the best inventories of it in Parkland.

Many homes have been significantly updated — kitchen and bath renovations, smart home integrations, outdoor kitchen and pool upgrades — while retaining the structural quality of the original build. Finding a well-updated Colonnade home is the best-case scenario for buyers who want move-in condition at the estate level.

Pricing

Colonnade is not the entry point to Heron Bay. Expect to start in the mid-to-upper $800,000s for a home that needs work, with well-updated properties regularly exceeding $1.3–1.5 million depending on lot, pool, and renovation quality. The price reflects the position — and in most cases, the market supports it based on what comparable estate-level homes are selling for across Parkland.

The Heron Bay Amenities

Like all Heron Bay villages, Colonnade residents have full access to the master amenity package — resort pool complex, fitness center, tennis, pickleball, and the social programming calendar that makes Heron Bay one of Parkland’s most active communities. Colonnade residents get the estate feel of a smaller enclave with the community infrastructure of a large master association. That combination is genuinely rare.

Who Colonnade Is Right For

Buyers who want the Heron Bay brand and lifestyle at the top of the community’s size and quality range. Buyers who are moving from larger or more formal homes in other markets and don’t want to downgrade their living standard. And buyers who value a street that looks as good as their home — because in Colonnade, it does.
