Avalon Reserve Homes for Sale

About Avalon Reserve Neighborhood

Avalon Reserve sits in the central-north section of Winter Garden, tucked between Avalon Road (CR-545) on the west and the Stoneybrook West Parkway / Marsh Road corridor to the south. The community was developed and built by Royal Oak Homes, with the majority of homes constructed in 2014 and 2015 and the build-out completing by 2016. At 66 homesites it is small enough to feel residential rather than master-planned, but large enough to support a real community pond and dedicated playground.

Homes here are 4-to-6-bedroom, 2-to-4-bath single-family residences ranging from approximately 2,291 to 4,731 square feet. Royal Oak's lineup at Avalon Reserve included floor plans like the Emerson, Marshall, Hawthorne, Westmorley, and Parker — a mix that spans from right-sized 4-bedroom layouts up to two-story executive plans with bonus rooms, lofts, and three-car garages. Homes feature open kitchens, screened lanais, and the early-2010s production-builder finish package (granite, tile in main areas, carpet in bedrooms) that has aged well thanks to the community's consistent maintenance.

What sets Avalon Reserve apart from newer communities along Avalon Road is the size of its pond and the absence of CDD fees that have become standard in newer Horizon West villages immediately to the south. The pond runs roughly 300 feet by 165 feet with a fountain, visible from the entrance and many of the lots that wrap around it. A children's playground anchors the front of the community, and the single-loop street layout keeps through-traffic out.

Avalon Reserve is non-gated, which keeps HOA dues relatively modest compared to gated neighbors like Stoneybrook West, but the community still benefits from the same NW 34787 school zone and the same retail anchor (the Stoneybrook West Village Publix, plus Avamar Crossing across Avalon Road) that draws buyers to this part of Winter Garden.

Avalon Reserve Location & Connections

Avalon Reserve is located off Avalon Road (CR-545) in north-central Winter Garden, immediately north of the Stoneybrook West Parkway / Marsh Road intersection. The community sits south of Johns Lake and north of the SR-429 Beltway, putting it in the heart of the NW 34787 corridor that includes Stoneybrook West directly to the south and Hickory Hammock to the northeast.

The location is built around two retail nodes: the Stoneybrook West Village (Publix Plaza) a half-mile south, and Avamar Crossing Shopping Plaza directly across Avalon Road. Whispering Oak Elementary sits less than a mile north, and the SR-429 onramp at Stoneybrook West Parkway is roughly a mile away — the combination is what's kept Avalon Reserve in steady demand since build-out.

Avalon Reserve Amenities & Lifestyle

Avalon Reserve is a low-key, low-density community where most of the lifestyle happens just outside the entrance — at the Publix in Stoneybrook West Village, on the SR-429 onramp heading south to Disney, or along the West Orange Trail a short drive east. Inside the gates, the pond, fountain, and playground anchor the daily routine for families with kids and dog-walkers.

How Avalon Reserve Compares

Avalon Reserve's value proposition in this part of 34787 is straightforward: an established 2013–2016 neighborhood with no CDD, no gates (and the lower HOA dues that come with that), and a real community pond — at a typical price point below newer Horizon West villages on the south side of SR-429 or the gated golf community next door.

Avalon Reserve HOA & CDD Information

Avalon Reserve is governed by a mandatory homeowners association responsible for the community pond, playground, common-area landscaping, and the entry monument. There is no Community Development District (CDD) assessment — a meaningful distinction from many newer communities along Avalon Road south of SR-429, where CDD bonds typically add $1,500–$3,000 or more to the annual carrying cost of a home.

Because the community is small (66 homes) and non-gated with limited common areas, HOA dues at Avalon Reserve tend to sit well below those of gated, amenity-heavy neighborhoods nearby.
