About Grove Park Neighborhood
Grove Park sits on the west side of Daniels Road in Winter Garden, with its single non-gated entrance opening onto Lost Grove Circle. The community is part of the Stone Crest master association, which groups five separate villages — Grove Park, Regency Oaks, Glynwood, Grovehurst, and Foxcrest — each with its own HOA but sharing common amenities.
Most Grove Park homes were built between 2006 and 2010 in a contemporary colonial style, with floor plans typically ranging from roughly 1,700 to 3,600 square feet, four to five bedrooms, two to four bathrooms, and two-car garages. The neighborhood itself does not have its own internal pool or playground; instead, residents in good standing with their HOA dues have access to the Stone Crest master amenities, which include a resort-style pool, rentable clubhouse, tennis courts, playground, and walking paths around a community pond. Grove Park's own footprint also features a large open community area used by residents.
Position is one of Grove Park's defining traits. The entrance sits roughly 1.2 miles north of SR 429 (the Daniel Webster Western Beltway) and roughly 0.8 miles south of Florida's Turnpike, with Winter Garden Village at Fowler Groves under a mile away. That places the neighborhood in the SR 50/Daniels Road retail corridor while still keeping it inside the historic 34787 ZIP that runs up to Downtown Winter Garden.

🏘️ What Makes Grove Park Distinct
- Non-gated village inside a master community: Grove Park has open street access from Daniels Road via Lost Grove Circle while still benefiting from Stone Crest master amenities.
- Mid-2000s build vintage: Most homes date to roughly 2006–2010, putting the neighborhood between Winter Garden's older established subdivisions and the newer Horizon West communities to the south.
- No CDD: The community predates the CDD-financing model used in most newer master-planned developments, which keeps the recurring assessment structure simpler.
- Shared amenities, separate HOA: Day-to-day HOA matters are handled by Grove Park's own management company; master-level amenities (pool, clubhouse, tennis, playground) are administered through the Stone Crest Master Association.

How Grove Park Compares
Grove Park is one of five villages inside the Stone Crest master community, so the most useful comparison is against its sibling villages — particularly Regency Oaks, the village directly across Daniels Road, and Foxcrest, the village a short distance south. The table below uses publicly available descriptions and is intended as orientation, not as a definitive spec sheet — confirm specifics with current listings before relying on any single data point.
| Feature | Grove Park | Regency Oaks | Foxcrest |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stone Crest village | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Gated | No | Verify with listing | No |
| Primary build era | ~2006–2010 | Verify with listing | Established |
| Side of Daniels Road | West | East | East |
| Shared master amenities | Yes — pool, clubhouse, tennis, playground | Yes — pool, clubhouse, tennis, playground | Yes — pool, clubhouse, tennis, playground |
| CDD | No | No | No |
💡 Value Proposition: Grove Park offers shared master-association amenities without the cost layer of a CDD or the architectural restrictions of a fully gated golf community, and its Daniels Road position gives equally short trips to Winter Garden Village retail and Downtown Winter Garden's historic Plant Street district.

Grove Park HOA & CDD Information
Grove Park has a two-tier homeowner-association structure typical of Stone Crest's villages. The village itself operates its own HOA with its own management company, which handles community-level rules, dues, and architectural review. Separately, the Stone Crest Master Association — administered through Sentry Management — owns and operates the shared amenity site that all five villages share. Residents in good standing with their village-level dues have access to the master amenities; access cards and clubhouse rentals are coordinated through the master association.
Grove Park is not in a Community Development District, so there is no CDD assessment to layer on top of the HOA dues.
