About Chelsea Landing Neighborhood
Chelsea Landing sits on the west side of Hunter's Creek in ZIP code 32837, tucked between Town Center Boulevard and Town Loop Boulevard west of John Young Parkway. The 90-home village was built between 1993 and 1998 and reflects the mid-1990s aesthetic of the community's second development phase — mature oak canopies, tile and concrete-tile roofs, screened lanais, and a mix of one- and two-story single-family floor plans typically ranging from roughly 1,700 to 2,500 square feet.
The neighborhood has two entrances — one off Town Center Boulevard and one off Town Loop Boulevard — which keeps through-traffic low and supports a quieter interior feel than villages along the main community arteries. Homes here are a mix of 3- and 4-bedroom designs on standard Florida residential lots, many with private pools added over the years. Pool homes and homes with screened outdoor living space tend to move quickly in Chelsea Landing because the combination of walk-to-school access and pool ownership is a rare overlap inside Hunter's Creek at this price tier.
Chelsea Landing's calling card is walkability. Residents can walk or bike to Hunters Creek Elementary School and Hunters Creek Middle School without crossing a major arterial, and Osprey Park — the community's main recreation hub with the community center, playgrounds, and sports fields — is within a short walk as well. For families with school-aged kids, this geography is the village's single strongest selling point, and it's why Chelsea Landing shows up so frequently on buyer shortlists even in a community of 35 villages.

Chelsea Landing Amenities & Lifestyle
Chelsea Landing's lifestyle is defined by walkability inside Hunter's Creek rather than by private village amenities. The village itself is compact and quiet, but residents have a short walk to Osprey Park — the community's main recreation hub — and a similarly short walk to both the elementary and middle school campuses. That geography shapes daily life: kids can walk or bike to school, weekends center on community parks and events, and errands along John Young Parkway are a five-minute drive.
Residents also enjoy Hunter's Creek's broader recreational fabric — seven community parks, Shingle Creek Trail access, and the community's internal shopping trio of Hunter's Creek Promenade, Hunter's Creek Plaza, and The Village at Hunter's Creek — all without leaving the community perimeter.
🏊 Neighborhood Amenities
Chelsea Landing itself is a non-gated single-family village without private amenities such as a pool or clubhouse — buyers seeking those within-village features typically add their own private pool (many homes here already have one) and use the community-wide amenities at nearby Osprey Park, which is within walking distance. Osprey Park functions as the village's de facto amenity and includes the Hunter's Creek Community Center, playgrounds, and open green space.
🛍️ Shopping & Services
Chelsea Landing residents shop within Hunter's Creek's internal retail core — Hunter's Creek Promenade, Hunter's Creek Plaza, and Hunters Creek Town Center — all within a 5-minute drive. For bigger-box and mall trips, The Loop Shopping Center is roughly 10 minutes away, and The Florida Mall and The Mall at Millenia are within 15–20 minutes via SR 417.

How Chelsea Landing Compares
Chelsea Landing's core value proposition inside Hunter's Creek is the overlap of walk-to-school access, walk-to-park access, and attainable single-family pricing in a community otherwise dominated by larger and more expensive villages. Buyers frequently compare it to the nearby gated estate villages of Chalfont and Glenhurst, as well as the townhome-heavy Heather Glen next door.
| Feature | Chelsea Landing | Chalfont | Heather Glen |
|---|---|---|---|
| Home Type | Single-family | Single-family (estate) | Townhomes & single-family |
| Year Built | 1993–1998 | Late 1990s–2000s | Mid 1990s–2000s |
| Total Homes | ~90 | ~163 | Larger mixed-product village |
| Gated | No | Yes | No |
| CDD Fee | No | No | No |
| Walk to Elementary/Middle | Yes | Close but longer walk | Yes |
| Walk to Osprey Park | Yes | Drive | Yes |
💡 Value Proposition: Chelsea Landing is one of the few single-family villages in Hunter's Creek where buyers can get a detached home, a pool option, and walk-to-school access all at a mid-tier price point — without paying the gated-community premium of Chalfont or Glenhurst.

Chelsea Landing HOA & CDD Information
Chelsea Landing is governed by both a village-level homeowners association and the broader Hunter's Creek Community Association, which manages the community's shared amenities, parks, and standards. This two-tier structure is standard for Hunter's Creek villages and is what funds and maintains the community's seven parks, internal road network, and community-wide events.
Chelsea Landing does not have Community Development District (CDD) fees — a meaningful advantage compared to newer master-planned communities elsewhere in Central Florida, where CDD assessments can add $1,500 to $3,000+ annually to carrying costs.
