Cinnamon Bay Homes for Sale

About Cinnamon Bay Neighborhood

Cinnamon Bay is a small, established subdivision in the southwest quadrant of MetroWest, reached from South Hiawassee Road via the community's entrance on Beach Breeze Drive. With only about 69 detached homes, it is one of the lower-density pockets in a community better known for its dense cluster of condominium associations — a distinction that makes Cinnamon Bay stand out for buyers specifically seeking a single-family home in this part of Orlando.

Homes here date primarily to the 1980s and typically offer two to four bedrooms and two to two-and-a-half baths, ranging from roughly 1,170 to 2,200 square feet on lots of about 0.11 to 0.18 acre. Floor plans favor vaulted ceilings, open living spaces, attached two-car garages, and screened Florida rooms or rear lanais that open to fenced backyards. Many homes have been updated over the years, and the streets are shaded by a mature tree canopy that gives the enclave a quiet, settled feel.

The community's defining feature is water: Cinnamon Bay sits on the shoreline of Lake Hiawassee, a roughly 226-acre fish-and-ski lake, and a number of homes have direct lake frontage or access. A small interior community pond, ringed by a dog-walk trail, adds a second water feature at the center of the neighborhood. The MetroWest Golf Club and the 183-acre Bill Frederick Park are both minutes away along the same Hiawassee corridor.

Cinnamon Bay Location & Connections

Cinnamon Bay sits along the western shore of Lake Hiawassee in MetroWest, with its only entrance off South Hiawassee Road at Beach Breeze Drive. Hiawassee Road is MetroWest's main north–south spine, so daily errands, the golf club, and the dining corridor are all a short drive from the neighborhood's gates.

For getting around the metro, residents rely on Kirkman Road to the east — the quick link to Valencia College West Campus, Universal Orlando, and I-4 — and the nearby SR-408 interchanges for a fast toll-road run to downtown Orlando. The region's premier luxury shopping is only minutes east via Conroy Road.

Cinnamon Bay Amenities & Lifestyle

Life in Cinnamon Bay blends a quiet, low-density residential feel with the full menu of MetroWest conveniences just outside the entrance. The international dining of the Hiawassee corridor, the public golf course, and lakeside parks are all part of daily life here.

The neighborhood's own amenities are modest and water-oriented, while the broader community supplies the shopping, recreation, and schools that round out the lifestyle.

How Cinnamon Bay Compares

MetroWest is dominated by gated condominium and townhome communities, so a detached, single-family enclave with lake access occupies an unusual niche. The table below frames Cinnamon Bay against the two alternatives a southwest-Orlando buyer most often weighs: a typical MetroWest condo and a new-construction home elsewhere in the metro.

Cinnamon Bay HOA & CDD Information

Cinnamon Bay is a small single-family community, and public listings have described its association dues in conflicting terms over the years — from "low HOA" to, in at least one case, "no HOA." Because association status and fees can change and vary by record, we recommend confirming the current arrangement directly before making an offer.

As an established 1980s-era neighborhood, Cinnamon Bay is not expected to carry a Community Development District (CDD) assessment, unlike many newer Orlando communities. This should be verified against Orange County records for your specific parcel.
