About Belle Meade Neighborhood
Belle Meade is a single-family-home community in the northwest portion of Winter Garden's 34787 ZIP, situated near the intersection of Tilden Road and Avalon Road (CR-545). The neighborhood is part of the broader Stoneybrook West / Avalon Road residential cluster that developed as Winter Garden expanded westward, with the property bordered by community ponds and the Whispering Oak Elementary School parcel.
The location places Belle Meade within a short drive of major retail anchors — most notably the open-air Winter Garden Village at Fowler Groves on Daniels Road, and the neighborhood-scale Stoneybrook West Village Publix Plaza along the Stoneybrook West Parkway corridor. SR 429 access from Stoneybrook West Parkway gives residents a direct toll-road connection to I-4, downtown Orlando, and Apopka.
Architecturally, the neighborhood reflects the late-1990s through 2000s production-builder vocabulary common to this part of West Orange County — stucco-and-tile single-family homes oriented around interior streets and small ponds, with mature landscaping established over time. Buyers should verify specific home counts, builder attributions, and amenity details directly during the property search rather than rely on generalized neighborhood claims.
