Daniels Crossing Homes for Sale

About Daniels Crossing Neighborhood

Daniels Crossing occupies a compact pocket of central Winter Garden in ZIP 34787, sitting on the west side of Daniels Road with Florida's Turnpike forming its southern boundary and SR 50 / West Colonial Drive a short distance to the north. Religious institutional properties line the community's western edge, and the Sterling Pointe neighborhood adjoins to the east. The main vehicle entrance is on Daniels Road, with a secondary entrance at the south end of 5th Street that serves as a shortcut up to West Colonial.

The neighborhood was developed primarily between 1996 and 2001 by Demetree Builders and Danray Homes, producing a stock of modest single-family homes on conventional residential lots. Floor plans run roughly from the high 900s to about 2,250 square feet, with three to four bedrooms, two to two-and-a-half bathrooms, and one- to two-car garages. Inside the community, three ponds break up the streetscape; the largest is fronted by a fountain and overlooks the community pool and playground, with about a dozen-plus homes positioned for pond views.

For buyers tracking value in this part of 34787, Daniels Crossing's appeal is straightforward: an established, non-gated neighborhood with a usable pool-and-playground amenity package, three water features inside the community itself, and direct positioning between the SR 50 retail corridor, a quick Florida's Turnpike on-ramp, and the SR 429 connection west toward Plant Street and east toward Orlando. The 1996–2001 build window also means most homes have had time to settle into mature landscaping rather than the bare-lot look of newer subdivisions further south in Horizon West.

Daniels Crossing Location & Connections

Daniels Crossing sits in the central section of Winter Garden, west of Daniels Road and north of Florida's Turnpike. The location wedges the community between two of the area's most useful corridors: West Colonial Drive (SR 50) a short distance north for retail and restaurants, and the toll-road expressway directly south for statewide travel. The Winter Garden Village at Fowler Groves is roughly two miles east, and Downtown Winter Garden is a similarly short drive northwest.

Daniels Road itself is one of Winter Garden's primary north-south arteries south of SR 50, profiled in our guide to Daniels Road and Winter Garden-Vineland Road (CR 535). From Daniels Crossing, the community pool and playground are an in-neighborhood walk centered on the largest pond, and West Orange High School's campus sits within about a mile.

Daniels Crossing Amenities & Lifestyle

Daniels Crossing offers a quietly utilitarian lifestyle fit: a non-gated, walkable community with on-site pool and playground access, three ponds for visual interest, and a position that puts a major grocery store, big-box retail, downtown dining, and turnpike access all within a short drive. It's not a resort-amenity community, but it doesn't price like one either — and the late-1990s build means homes here are established rather than freshly-poured slab.

For everyday running-around, the SR 50 corridor north of the neighborhood handles most needs, while Downtown Winter Garden a few minutes northwest provides the social and weekend-event center of gravity for the wider 34787 ZIP code.

How Daniels Crossing Compares

Daniels Crossing's value case rests on three things: an established 1990s–early 2000s build window, no CDD, and a usable amenity package (pool, playground, and three ponds) inside a non-gated community. Compared to newer Horizon West construction directly south, the trade-off is straightforward: smaller, older homes in exchange for no CDD assessment, mature landscaping, and a central Winter Garden location with shorter drives to both downtown and SR 50 retail.

Daniels Crossing HOA & CDD Information

Daniels Crossing is governed by a mandatory homeowners association that maintains the community pool, playground, three ponds, and common-area landscaping. The community has no CDD (Community Development District) assessment — a meaningful long-term carrying-cost advantage over many newer 34787 communities, particularly those built south of SR 429 in Horizon West.
