About Estates at Lakeview Neighborhood
Estates at Lakeview is the estate-home collection within the gated Lakeview Preserve master in southwest Winter Garden. Built by Pulte Homes beginning in the early 2020s, the enclave was designed around a private 70-foot homesite product line — wider lots than the rest of Lakeview Preserve — with eight original floor plans named Whitestone, Ashby, Ashby Grand, Easley, Easley Grand, Oakhurst, Roseland, and Renown. Homes are now mostly resale, with the original new-construction phase sold out.
The community sits at the southwest edge of the 34787 ZIP code, off Hartwood Marsh Road, with Sailing Pier Avenue and Buoy Circle forming the main interior streets. The location places Estates at Lakeview between two strong commercial corridors: the Stoneybrook West Parkway / Winter Garden Village area to the north, and the US-27 corridor in Clermont to the west, with quick access to SR 429 (Daniel Webster Western Beltway) for trips into Orlando.
Homes here are larger than the rest of Lakeview Preserve, with broader frontages, three-car garages on most plans, and floor plans ranging from roughly the mid-2,000s into the mid-4,000-square-foot range. Architecture is a mix of Florida traditional and Spanish/Mediterranean elevations. Because Estates at Lakeview shares the Lakeview Preserve HOA, residents have full use of the master community's clubhouse, resort-style pool and cabana, fitness center, splash pad, playground, picnic area, and kayak launch with dock to Johns Lake — but enter through their own gated section.

🎓 Schools
Estates at Lakeview is likely zoned to Lake County Schools — verify current attendance zones with the Lake County School District before relying on this for a home purchase. Third-party data (builder marketing, MLS listings, GreatSchools mappings) indicates the following zoning:
- Elementary: Lost Lake Elementary School (Lake County)
- Middle: Windy Hill Middle School (Lake County)
- High: East Ridge High School (Lake County)
Although the community carries a Winter Garden 34787 mailing address, county records list at least part of the subdivision as Lake County rather than Orange County, which places students in Lake County School District rather than OCPS. The Whispering Oak Elementary / SunRidge Middle / West Orange High zoning that serves much of the surrounding Stoneybrook West / Winter Garden 34787 area is a neighbor zone, not this community's zone — confirm with both districts before publishing.
Note: School assignments are subject to change. Always verify current zoning directly with the appropriate school district.
