About Alexander Ridge Neighborhood
Alexander Ridge sits in the Stoneybrook West Parkway corridor of Winter Garden, west of SR 429 (the Daniel Webster Western Beltway) and north of Avalon Road. The neighborhood is set back from the main commercial corridors, giving it the residential-only character that defines this stretch of 34787 between the Stoneybrook West gated community and the Carriage Pointe area near Winter Garden Village.
The location is functional rather than scenic — there is no internal lakefront, no on-course golf, and no 24-hour gate. What buyers get instead is a quiet single-family neighborhood within a few minutes of the SR 429 ramp at Stoneybrook West Parkway, the Stoneybrook West Village Publix plaza, the Foundation Academy school campus on Tilden Road, and Lake Avalon just to the south. The larger Winter Garden Village open-air center is roughly 5 miles east at the SR 429 / Daniels Road interchange.
Like most of NW 34787, Alexander Ridge benefits from being part of Winter Garden proper rather than the newer Horizon West villages south of SR 429 — which means OCPS school zoning that runs through the established West Orange High School pyramid rather than Horizon West's newer schools, and no Community Development District (CDD) layered on top of standard property taxes.

🏘️ Neighborhood Character

- Established 34787 corridor — surrounded by similarly aged Winter Garden subdivisions (Carriage Pointe, Reserve at Carriage Pointe, Wintermere Pointe) rather than newer Horizon West villages.
- Foundation Academy adjacency — the private Christian school campus is on Tilden Road within easy access for families considering private school.

Alexander Ridge Location & Connections
Alexander Ridge is positioned in the northwest quadrant of Winter Garden's 34787, with the SR 429 expressway running along the south/east, Stoneybrook West Parkway providing the primary east-west connection to the Winter Garden Village retail node, and Avalon Road (CR-545) forming the southern boundary of the corridor. Tilden Road runs to the north-northeast and serves the Foundation Academy school campus.
The neighborhood's value here is connectivity rather than walkability — homeowners drive to virtually everything, but most daily destinations (Publix, AdventHealth, Downtown Winter Garden, the SR 429 onramp) are within a 10-minute radius.

How Alexander Ridge Compares
Alexander Ridge sits in a corridor with two distinct neighbors: the 24-hour gated golf community of Stoneybrook West to the immediate west, and the cluster of non-gated single-family Winter Garden neighborhoods (Carriage Pointe, Reserve at Carriage Pointe) to the east. Buyers comparing these alternatives are usually weighing gated security and golf-course frontage against price point and HOA cost.
| Feature | Alexander Ridge | Stoneybrook West | Carriage Pointe |
|---|---|---|---|
| Property Type | Single-family homes | Single-family homes | Single-family homes |
| Gated | No | Yes (24-hour gate) | No |
| Golf Course | No (Stoneybrook West GC nearby) | On-course (Stoneybrook West GC) | No |
| CDD Fee | No | No | No |
| School Pyramid | OCPS — likely West Orange HS | OCPS — Whispering Oak / SunRidge / West Orange | OCPS — West Orange HS |
| Distance to AdventHealth WG | ~5 minutes | ~3 minutes | <1 mile |
💡 Value Proposition: Alexander Ridge offers Winter Garden 34787 schools and SR 429 access without the higher HOA cost of a gated golf community — the trade-off versus Stoneybrook West is the absence of a 24-hour gate and the resort-style golf-course amenity package.

Alexander Ridge HOA & CDD Information
Alexander Ridge is a residential subdivision with a homeowners' association. As is typical for established Winter Garden neighborhoods of this character, the HOA covers common-area maintenance, deed-restriction enforcement, and architectural standards rather than resort-style amenities.
