About Black Lake Park Neighborhood
Black Lake Park is a single-family residential neighborhood on the eastern shore of Black Lake, the 212-acre natural lake that defines this pocket of southern Winter Garden's 34787 ZIP code. The neighborhood is named for the lake it borders, and a portion of homes within the community enjoy direct lake frontage or views, while the remainder sit on interior streets within walking distance of the water.
The community is bounded by Glistening Boulevard and connects out to Winter Garden Vineland Road (CR-535) — the north-south artery that links this part of southern Winter Garden up to SR-50 and down toward Windermere. The setting is residential and water-oriented rather than walkable-urban: most daily errands are a short drive to the Daniels Road / Fowler Groves retail corridor rather than a walk to a Plant Street-style downtown.
Black Lake Park sits in the broader Johns Lake & Black Lake neighborhood cluster the Winter Garden hub uses to group lakefront-adjacent communities. Direct neighbors include Glynwood, Bay Isle, Bradford Creek, and Cypress Reserve, with conservation and wetland buffers along portions of the lake's shoreline.
📊 Quick Facts

🌊 What Makes Black Lake Park Distinctive
- Direct frontage on a 212-acre natural lake. Black Lake is one of the larger natural lakes anchoring southern Winter Garden's residential map and gives the neighborhood its name and identity.
- Established setting, not new construction sprawl. Unlike the Horizon West / Hamlin master-plans further south, this corner of 34787 is built out with discrete subdivisions on existing roads rather than continuous new-build communities.
- Conservation buffers. Wetland and conservation areas along portions of Black Lake's shoreline limit further high-density development around the lake itself.
- Two-toll-road access. Both SR-429 and Florida's Turnpike are within minutes via Daniels Road, opening up commutes north toward Apopka and south toward Disney / I-4.

How Black Lake Park Compares
Black Lake Park's value is driven by setting rather than master-planned amenities: a lakefront-adjacent address on a 212-acre natural lake (Black Lake), in an established corner of southern Winter Garden, with quick access to two toll roads and the Fowler Groves retail corridor. The trade-off vs. nearby master-plans is fewer built-in community amenities and a more discrete, established footprint.
| Feature | Black Lake Park | Stoneybrook West (gated golf) | Hamlin / Horizon West (newer master-planned) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Setting | On 212-acre Black Lake | Across Black Lake; golf-course-anchored | Inland; pond/wetland-anchored |
| Community Type | Established, discrete subdivision | Gated, golf-course master-plan | Large new-build master-plan |
| Built-in Amenities | Limited (verify with publisher) | Golf, clubhouse, pools, gates | Pools, parks, retail nodes, schools |
| CDD Fee | Verify with publisher | No | Generally Yes |
| Access to SR-429 / Turnpike | ~5 minutes via Daniels Road | ~5 minutes via Stoneybrook West Pkwy | ~10–15 minutes |
💡 Value Proposition: Black Lake Park is the option for buyers who specifically want lakefront-adjacent living on a real, named, 212-acre natural lake — without paying for golf-club membership at Stoneybrook West or accepting CDD fees common in newer Horizon West master-plans.
