About Conroy Club Neighborhood
Conroy Club is one of the best-kept secrets in Dr. Phillips — a small, private gated community tucked off Conroy Windermere Road, shielded from traffic noise by the adjacent commercial plaza yet positioned minutes from some of Orlando's most sought-after amenities. The community is characterized by its intimate scale, mature landscaping, and the kind of neighborhood feel that's increasingly rare this close to the theme park corridor. Residents regularly cite the convenient, "hidden gem" location as one of Conroy Club's greatest assets.
Homes in Conroy Club were built between 2002 and 2003, making this a well-established community with over two decades of maturity in its landscaping and architecture. The residences are single-family executive homes featuring Spanish and Mediterranean-influenced exteriors with tile roofs, brick paver driveways, and open floor plans with high vaulted ceilings. Homes range from approximately 1,800 to 3,500+ square feet, offering 3–5 bedrooms and 2–4 bathrooms. Many homes feature private pools and spa areas, making them ideal for the Florida lifestyle.
The community sits directly across Conroy Road from Shadow Bay Park, a full-service Orange County park with walking trails, tennis courts, basketball courts, a baseball field, and shaded picnic areas — essentially an extension of residents' backyard at no cost. The park alone distinguishes Conroy Club from many gated communities of similar size and price, which typically lack immediate access to this caliber of active recreation space.
With quick access to I-4 and the Florida Turnpike, and positioned just two miles from Universal Studios Florida, Conroy Club places residents within easy reach of employment centers, major attractions, and the shopping and dining corridors that define the Dr. Phillips lifestyle.

How Conroy Club Compares
Conroy Club occupies an interesting niche in the Dr. Phillips market: it's a smaller, established gated community that delivers executive-grade homes and a private address at price points that typically fall below the larger, more amenity-heavy gated developments in the area. For buyers who value location and privacy over resort-style community pools and clubhouses, Conroy Club frequently emerges as the smartest value play in north Dr. Phillips.
The community's 2002–2003 construction era means buyers get the benefit of mature landscaping, established infrastructure, and proven home quality — along with the flexibility to upgrade kitchens and baths to current standards at their own pace and preference, often adding significant equity in the process.

Conroy Club HOA & CDD Information
Conroy Club is governed by the Conroy Club Homeowners Association, Inc., a mandatory HOA that maintains the community's gated entry, enforces deed restrictions, and upholds the neighborhood's aesthetic standards. The HOA's restrictions include prohibitions on truck, RV, and motorcycle parking in driveways and on streets, which contributes to the community's clean, executive curb appeal.
Conroy Club does not have a Community Development District (CDD) fee — a meaningful financial advantage compared to many newer communities in the Dr. Phillips area where CDD assessments can add thousands of dollars to annual ownership costs. The absence of CDD fees, combined with a focused HOA that covers only community essentials, keeps total carrying costs competitive.
