About Carrington Neighborhood
Carrington sits on the golf side of Hunter's Creek, less than half a mile from the Hunter's Creek Golf Club clubhouse, with access from Town Center Boulevard and the surrounding interior streets. The village was built during Hunter's Creek's primary buildout era and represents the community's classic single-family inventory — traditional Florida suburban homes on platted lots, mature landscaping, and a community feel shaped by 25+ years of owner-occupancy.
Homes in Carrington are predominantly single-family, typically 3- to 4-bedroom floor plans with two-car garages, split-plan interiors, and private backyards. The village's position near Osprey Park — Hunter's Creek's community center hub — and the Shingle Creek conservation corridor gives it a quieter, more interior feel than villages directly on John Young Parkway, while still keeping the community's retail cluster within a 3-5 minute drive.
Carrington's proximity to Hunters Creek Elementary School and Hunters Creek Middle School — both signature Orange County Public Schools with magnet or specialty programs — makes this one of the community's most sought-after family villages.

Carrington Amenities & Lifestyle
Carrington's lifestyle is defined by three things: proximity to the Hunter's Creek Golf Club, access to the community's flagship Osprey Park and the Shingle Creek conservation corridor, and walkable zoning to the community's two marquee Orange County public schools. For families, this combination is rare inside a single village — most Hunter's Creek neighborhoods offer one or two of these advantages, not all three.
The village's established character — 25+ years of owner-occupancy, mature tree canopy, and settled landscaping — appeals to buyers who prefer a neighborhood feel over a new-construction aesthetic, and who value quiet interior streets over commercial-corridor proximity.

How Carrington Compares
Carrington occupies a specific niche inside Hunter's Creek: established single-family inventory on the golf side of the community, with walk-to-school access to the two signature Orange County public schools. Compared to gated estate villages like Chalfont or Glenhurst, Carrington trades size and luxury finish for a more accessible price point. Compared to newer suburban subdivisions outside the community, Carrington trades new construction for the community's park density, school magnet access, and 25+ years of neighborhood maturity.
| Feature | Carrington | Chelsea Landing | Glenhurst |
|---|---|---|---|
| Property Type | Single-family | Single-family | Gated estate single-family |
| Typical Size | 1,600–2,800 sq ft | 1,800–3,000 sq ft | 2,800–4,500+ sq ft |
| Era Built | Late 1980s–1990s | 1990s | 1990s–2000s |
| Golf Club Proximity | Walking distance | ~1 mile | Adjacent / <0.5 mile |
| School Zone | Hunters Creek ES/MS | Hunters Creek ES/MS | Hunters Creek ES/MS |
| Gated | No | No | Yes |
| CDD Fee | No | No | No |
💡 Value Proposition: Carrington is where buyers land when they want the full Hunter's Creek package — golf-club walkability, Osprey Park access, and zoning to Hunters Creek Elementary and Middle — without paying the gated-estate premium of Chalfont or Glenhurst. The trade-off is home size and finish level; the advantage is entry into the community's most desirable school zone at a mid-tier price point.

Carrington HOA & CDD Information
Carrington is governed by its own neighborhood association plus the Hunter's Creek Community Association (HCCA), the master association that administers community-wide amenities, park maintenance, and architectural review across all 35 Hunter's Creek villages. The two-tier structure is standard across Hunter's Creek and produces a layered fee model — a village-level assessment plus the HCCA master fee.
Hunter's Creek does not impose Community Development District (CDD) fees, which represents a meaningful cost advantage over newer Central Florida master-planned communities where CDD assessments can add $2,000–$5,000 or more to annual ownership costs.
