About Deerfield Place Neighborhood
Deerfield Place is an established 99-home single-family neighborhood in Winter Garden, tucked off Doe Run Road on the east side of Daniels Road. The main brick entrance sits directly across from the Daniels Landing townhomes, and a secondary entrance opens onto Beard Road to the north. The community's location places it between two of West Orange County's biggest retail anchors — historic Plant Street to the north and the open-air Winter Garden Village at Fowler Groves to the south.
Homes here were built between 2005 and 2006 in a consistent Florida-architectural style with stucco exteriors, tile roofs, two-car garages, and open interior floor plans. Sources show home sizes ranging roughly from the upper 1,600s to the mid-4,000s in square feet, with three to five bedrooms and two to four baths. A handful of homes have private screened pools and lanais, though there is no community pool. Two stormwater ponds shape the layout of the interior streets, giving roughly 17–20 homes a pond view.
Instead of a clubhouse-and-pool package, Deerfield Place is built around a small community park at its northeastern corner, with a covered pavilion, picnic tables, a children's play area, and a fountain feature. The HOA maintains the entry, sidewalks, and common landscaping, which keeps the community looking consistent without the higher fees that come with larger amenity packages. Adjacent road context — Daniels Road as the main north-south spine, Beard Road and Doe Run Road as the local connectors, and the Turnpike a third of a mile north — is what most buyers cite as the practical advantage of this location. The community is also a short drive from the SR 50 retail corridor.
📊 Quick Facts
🏡 What Makes Deerfield Place Different
- Position on the Daniels Road corridor: One of the most central retail-and-commute positions in 34787 — Turnpike on-ramp roughly a third of a mile north, Winter Garden Village a few minutes south, and the SR 50 retail corridor a short drive away.
- Established 2005–2006 inventory: Homes here are now twenty years old, which generally translates to mature landscaping, finished pricing relative to new builds, and floor plans that pre-date the smaller-lot trend of newer Winter Garden subdivisions.
- No CDD: Unlike many newer master-planned communities in adjacent Horizon West, Deerfield Place does not carry a Community Development District assessment on top of HOA dues.
- Park instead of pool: A smaller, lower-fee amenity model — the central park area with pavilion and playground in lieu of a community pool and clubhouse.
- Limited inventory: With only ~99 homes total, turnover is low — typically only a handful of listings per year.

Deerfield Place Location & Connections
Deerfield Place sits on the east side of Daniels Road in northern Winter Garden, between Highway 50 / West Colonial Drive to the north and SR 429 (the Daniel Webster Western Beltway) to the south. The Florida's Turnpike entrance at Daniels Road is roughly one-third of a mile north, which is the practical advantage of this position — most major Central Florida destinations are reached by getting on either the Turnpike or 429 within minutes of leaving the neighborhood.
Surrounding land use is a mix of established residential, conservation buffer along the Turnpike right-of-way, and the regional retail anchor of Winter Garden Village at Fowler Groves to the south. Newton Park on Lake Apopka sits roughly three miles to the northwest at the western terminus of Plant Street, which is the brick-lined main street running through Downtown Winter Garden.
