About Foxcrest Neighborhood
Foxcrest sits along Foxcrest Boulevard, just east of Daniels Road in the central Winter Garden 34787 ZIP code. The community entrance is set back from Daniels Road behind a county fire station, giving residents a buffer from main-road traffic while keeping the convenience of immediate Daniels Road access. The amenity area — pool, clubhouse, tennis courts, basketball courts, playground, and two community ponds — sits at the front of the community, near the entrance.
Developed during the mid-2000s housing boom, Foxcrest was completed in roughly two phases between 2006 and 2008. The community features traditional Florida-style architecture — primarily two-story block-and-frame stucco homes with open floor plans, formal living and dining rooms, family rooms, and 2-3 car garages. Most homes fall in the 2,300-3,900 square foot range with 4-5 bedrooms, making this one of the larger-home neighborhoods in this stretch of Daniels Road relative to the production-builder communities that surround it.
Foxcrest is a non-gated community, but it's bordered on the north, south, and west by other established subdivisions — Regency Oaks, Grovehurst, and Glynwood — and by individual homes and remaining vacant land to the east. The cluster of neighborhoods shares the same road frontage and school zone, which gives the area a connected feel without the gate. Of the roughly 112-115 homes, approximately 25 face one of the two community ponds; the remainder back to trees, green space, or other homes.

Foxcrest Location & Connections
Foxcrest is positioned in the central Winter Garden Village area of Winter Garden, roughly one mile north of the SR 429 (Daniel Webster Western Beltway) Daniels Road interchange.

Foxcrest Amenities & Lifestyle
Foxcrest's appeal is the combination of larger, mid-2000s-era homes with a full amenity center at a non-gated price point — a less common pairing in this part of Winter Garden. The pool, clubhouse, tennis courts, basketball courts, and playground sit together near the entrance, giving residents a single recreation hub.
The two community ponds add to the feel of the neighborhood — exercise paths run alongside them, and about a quarter of Foxcrest homes have pond views. Beyond Foxcrest's entrance, the location puts residents within a 1-2 mile radius of Winter Garden Village shopping, West Orange High School, and the SR 429 interchange.

How Foxcrest Compares
Foxcrest's value pitch on the Daniels Road corridor comes from three things working together: home size, amenity package, and no gate (which generally translates to lower HOA dues than a comparably-amenitized gated community). The neighborhoods directly bordering it — Regency Oaks, Grovehurst, and Glynwood — share the same school zone and similar mid-2000s build era, so the relevant comparison for most buyers is across these immediate neighbors rather than against newer Horizon West communities further south.
| Feature | Foxcrest | Daniels Road Corridor (typical) | Newer Horizon West (typical) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Year Built | 2006-2008 | Late 1990s - mid 2000s | 2015-present |
| Gated | No | Mostly no | Mix; many gated |
| Typical Home Size | 2,300-3,900 sq ft | Varies widely | 1,800-4,000+ sq ft |
| CDD Fee | No | Mostly no | Often yes |
| Community Amenities | Pool, clubhouse, tennis, basketball, playground, 2 ponds | Varies; often basic or none | Resort-style amenity centers |
| Distance to Winter Garden Village | ~1 mile | 1-3 miles | 3-8 miles |
💡 Value Proposition: Foxcrest offers larger 4-5 bedroom homes with a full amenity package (pool, clubhouse, tennis, basketball, playground) and no CDD fee — at a non-gated price point. The trade-off versus newer Horizon West construction is build age (2006-2008); the trade-off versus other Daniels Road non-gated neighborhoods is typically a stronger amenity center.

Foxcrest HOA & CDD Information
Foxcrest is a deed-restricted, non-gated community with an active homeowners association. The HOA maintains the entry signage and landscaping, the pool and clubhouse, the tennis and basketball courts, the playground, the community ponds, and the common-area sidewalks and exercise paths around the ponds. Because Foxcrest is non-gated, there are no gate maintenance or security-guard costs rolled into the HOA budget, which tends to keep dues lower than comparably-amenitized gated communities along the same corridor.
Public records indicate Foxcrest is not within a Community Development District (CDD), so no CDD assessment is added to the annual property tax bill. Verify with the closing title company before contract, as CDD status is the single largest variable in monthly carrying costs for many Central Florida communities.
