Bondi vs. Waverly: Comparing the Two Lakeside Landing Floor Plans
In this article
Lakeside Landing has two floor plans, Bondi and Waverly, and they're closer to twins than opposites. Both are two-story townhomes with 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and a 1-car garage. The short answer: they share an identical downstairs, and the difference is entirely upstairs, where Waverly is 86 square feet larger. This guide walks through exactly where that space goes.

The downstairs is identical
This is the part that surprises people: the living room (17'4" x 20'8") and kitchen (8'8" x 9'0") are the exact same size and layout on both plans. If you're comparing Bondi and Waverly based on how the main living space feels, you won't find a difference, because there isn't one. Both plans put an open kitchen and living room on the ground floor, with a small lanai off the back.
The upstairs is where they split
Waverly's extra 86 square feet all lives upstairs, and it shows up in two places. The primary bedroom grows from 11'8" x 15'8" in Bondi to 11'8" x 16'9" in Waverly — about a foot more depth, which is enough room for a larger bed frame or a reading chair in the corner. The secondary bedrooms grow too: Bondi's are 10'0" x 10'0" and 11'8" x 10'6", while Waverly's are 11'2" x 9'11" and 10'8" x 12'0" — slightly wider rooms overall, with Waverly's third bedroom in particular gaining real depth.
What that actually feels like
If you've got two kids sharing bedrooms, or you work from home and use a secondary bedroom as an office, that extra foot or two in Waverly's bedrooms is the kind of thing you notice every day — more room for a desk, more room to walk around a bed without turning sideways. If it's just you, or the secondary bedrooms are mostly for guests, Bondi's slightly smaller rooms may never bother you.
What's the same either way
Whichever plan you pick, you get the same standard features: granite kitchen counters, quartz bathroom counters, Whirlpool stainless appliances, impact-resistant windows and sliding glass doors, a tankless water heater, and the same D.R. Horton warranty coverage. See What's Included at Lakeside Landing for the complete list.
So which one should you pick?
If the price difference matters more to you than an extra foot of bedroom space, Bondi is the practical choice — it's the same home in every way that shows up in daily use, at a lower starting price. If you know you want more room upstairs and you're comfortable paying a bit more for it, Waverly is worth the difference. The honest answer for a lot of buyers is to walk both in person, because a floor plan on paper and a room you're standing in can feel different.

A closer look at the shared downstairs
It's worth spending a little more time on why the identical downstairs matters. In both Bondi and Waverly, the 17'4" x 20'8" living room and 8'8" x 9'0" kitchen sit right next to each other with no wall between them — an open-concept layout that lets whoever's cooking stay part of the conversation happening in the living room. That's the space you'll spend the most time in day to day, more than the bedrooms upstairs, and knowing it's identical on both plans takes one variable off the table when you're deciding.
The lanai off the back is also identical on both plans — a small, covered outdoor space rather than a full backyard. It's enough room for a couple of chairs, a small table, or a spot for a grill, but it's not going to feel like a private yard the way a single-family home's backyard would. If outdoor space matters a lot to you, that's worth factoring in regardless of which floor plan you choose, since it's the same on both.
What buyers actually notice when they tour both
People who walk through both Bondi and Waverly in person tend to land on one of two reactions. Some don't notice much difference at all — the shared downstairs is what they spend the most time picturing themselves in, and the bedroom size upstairs matters less to them. Others, especially those with kids sharing a bedroom or a partner who works from a spare room, notice the extra space in Waverly's secondary bedrooms right away, because it's the kind of thing you feel every time you're in that room rather than just walking through it.
There's no substitute for standing in both rooms yourself. A tape measure tells you the numbers are different; walking into the room tells you whether the difference actually matters for how you live.
What this means for resale later
If resale value down the road is part of your decision, it's worth knowing that both plans sit in the same community, share the same amenities, and carry the same builder warranty — the resale market generally treats floor plan size as a modest factor compared to overall condition, location, and market timing. Neither plan is a clearly "better" investment than the other; they're simply sized differently for different households today.
