About Fire Creek Neighborhood
Fire Creek is an exclusive gated community developed by Taylor Morrison in the heart of historic Gotha, Florida. The community occupies approximately 32.2 acres along Seventh Avenue, accessed via Brocksport Circle just north of Moore Road and Thornbrooke Drive. Construction began in 2022 with homes continuing to be delivered through the present, making Fire Creek one of the newest luxury communities in the Gotha–Windermere corridor.
The development is organized in two phases: Phase One features 34 homes on a loop road design, while Phase Two comprises an intimate section of 8–9 oversized lots on a separate cul-de-sac that backs up to Gotha Park. Taylor Morrison offers six distinct floor plans ranging from the single-story Lincoln at 2,862 square feet to the impressive Patterson at 5,234 square feet with up to 7 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms. Every home includes a 3-car garage, paver driveway, and Taylor Morrison's TM LiveWell suite of healthy-home features including MERV 13 air filtration and hands-free kitchen faucets.
The community's 6.75 acres of dedicated open space include passive park areas, a butterfly garden near the Phase One entrance, a tot lot at the far end of the loop, and sidewalks lined with black lantern-style lampposts that give Fire Creek its distinctive upscale character. Five homesites feature scenic pond views, and the community's equestrian-style architecture pays homage to Gotha's historic rural heritage while delivering thoroughly modern luxury.
Neighboring the highly desirable town of Windermere, Fire Creek offers quick access to the Western Beltway (429), the I-4 employment corridor, and Orlando's world-class theme parks and entertainment destinations — all while preserving the small-town serenity that makes Gotha one of Central Florida's most sought-after addresses.

Fire Creek HOA & CDD Information
Fire Creek is governed by a mandatory homeowners association that maintains the community's gated entrance, common areas, butterfly garden, tot lot, passive parks, street lighting, and landscaping throughout the 6.75 acres of dedicated open space. The HOA also enforces architectural standards that preserve the community's cohesive equestrian-style aesthetic and property values.
Fire Creek does not have a Community Development District (CDD) fee, which represents a meaningful financial advantage compared to many newer luxury communities in the Orlando area where CDD assessments can add significant annual costs on top of HOA dues and property taxes.
