About Dellagio Neighborhood
Dellagio is among the newest and most distinctively located gated communities in all of Dr. Phillips — a neighborhood that sits directly adjacent to Dellagio Town Center, the Tuscan-inspired shopping and dining destination on Sand Lake Road, making it the only gated single-family home community in Dr. Phillips where residents can walk out their front door and reach award-winning restaurants, a spa, boutique retail, and Trader Joe's Orlando within minutes. This "urban village" positioning sets Dellagio apart from every other gated community in the area.
The Residences at Dellagio were developed and built by Park Square Homes between 2015 and 2020 — one of the most established home builders in the Dr. Phillips market with over 30 years of experience constructing homes in the area. The community offers approximately 83 homes organized along Via Dellagio Way, Della Drive, and West Sand Lake Road, in a zero-lot-line or motor-court layout that maximizes indoor-outdoor living space while maintaining the privacy of a gated enclave. Floor plans — including the Carmelo, Calista, Marco, and Amaya models — range from approximately 2,968 to 3,858 square feet with 3 to 4 bedrooms, 3.5 to 4.5 baths, and 2-car garages.
Architecturally, Dellagio reflects a clean California Mission and contemporary Mediterranean influence — stucco and masonry exteriors with tile roofs, paver driveways, open great room layouts, and seamless indoor-outdoor transitions through large sliding doors to private rear courtyards and patios. Select homes have been upgraded with private pools, bonus lofts, oversized yards, and designer finish packages. The community's interior streetscape features professionally maintained landscaping, street lighting, and sidewalks creating a polished, resort-like atmosphere throughout.

Dellagio HOA & CDD Information
Dellagio is governed by a mandatory Homeowners Association that provides residents with a genuinely low-maintenance lifestyle — a significant differentiator compared to many Dr. Phillips communities where exterior and grounds care is entirely the homeowner's responsibility. The HOA covers front yard grounds maintenance, cable television, trash valet service, and management of the community pool, cabana, and common areas, allowing residents to focus on enjoying their home rather than maintaining it.
There is no Community Development District (CDD) fee at Dellagio. Given the community's newer construction (2015–2020) and its proximity to commercial development along Sand Lake Road, this no-CDD status is a meaningful financial benefit. The HOA also enforces deed restrictions and buyer approval requirements to protect property values and maintain community standards throughout the neighborhood.
