It is close to beaches, but it may take you a long time to get there because of traffic. The biggest drawback for us that you can't get to much on your golf cart. The different communities are not connected like The Villages, so you can't cruise to restaurants and shopping or friends living in another Lakewood Ranch community in your golf cart.
The biggest detriment, IMHO, is Lakewood is too close to the coast. We like it here because hurricanes usually peter out by the time they get to the center of the state.
