About Grovehurst Neighborhood
Grovehurst occupies a tightly defined block in the Stone Crest master community in 34787, tucked between Daniels Road on the east and the SR 429 toll corridor on the west. Streets here — including Grovehurst Avenue and Emmett Lane — were laid out in a connected grid with the four sister sub-villages (Foxcrest, Glynwood, Regency Oaks, and Grove Park), so day-to-day life flows across all five neighborhoods through shared amenities, a shared HOA framework, and the same internal road network.
The neighborhood's defining quality is its walk-and-drive convenience to retail. The Winter Garden Village at Fowler Groves shopping center — an 80+ store open-air lifestyle center anchored by Whole Foods, Target, and a wide dining lineup — sits directly south. AdventHealth Winter Garden is a few minutes farther down Fowler Grove Boulevard, and both SR 429 and Florida's Turnpike are reachable from the same intersection cluster — giving residents both retail-on-doorstep convenience and fast statewide access.
Lot configurations follow the typical Stone Crest pattern of single-family homes on standard suburban lots, with a mix of one- and two-story floor plans. Several streets back onto a conservation area or one of the community ponds with fountains, which create natural buffers from the surrounding road network. Mature landscaping has filled in since the Stone Crest neighborhoods were built out, giving Grovehurst a more settled feel than its newer Winter Garden counterparts on the south side of SR 429.
Grovehurst residents share the practical benefits of being inside Winter Garden's city limits — city utilities, Winter Garden police and fire response (with a fire station nearby), and access to the full Winter Garden downtown experience along Plant Street roughly 10 minutes north.

Grovehurst Location & Connections
Grovehurst sits in southern Winter Garden in the triangle formed by Daniels Road, SR 429 (Daniel Webster Western Beltway), and the SR 50 / Florida's Turnpike corridor to the south. The neighborhood is bordered by its four Stone Crest sister sub-villages — Foxcrest, Glynwood, Regency Oaks, and Grove Park — and by a conservation area that wraps part of the western edge. Winter Garden Village at Fowler Groves is the dominant landmark directly south.

Grovehurst Amenities & Lifestyle
Daily life in Grovehurst is shaped by two things: the shared Stone Crest amenity package, and walk-or-short-drive proximity to one of West Orange County's largest shopping and dining hubs. The neighborhood appeals to buyers who want a real neighborhood amenity set — pool, tennis, playground, clubhouse — without paying gated-community premiums, and who'd rather skip a long drive to the grocery store than skip nights out at downtown Winter Garden's Plant Street.
The community's pond-and-fountain water features and adjacent conservation tract give Grovehurst pockets of quiet despite its proximity to SR 429 and SR 50.

How Grovehurst Compares
Buyers shopping the Daniels Road / Winter Garden Village corridor often weigh Grovehurst against two practical alternatives: a newer-construction master community south of SR 429, and a gated community on the same corridor. The table below sketches the trade-offs at a high level — exact numbers should be confirmed with current MLS data.
| Feature | Grovehurst (Stone Crest) | Newer Master-Planned Community South of SR 429 | Gated Daniels Road Community |
|---|---|---|---|
| Master Community | Stone Crest (5 sub-villages) | Typically larger master-planned | Single gated community |
| Shared Amenities | Pool, tennis, playground, clubhouse | Typically full amenity center | Resort-style — varies by community |
| Gated | No | Varies | Yes |
| CDD Fee | Verify (see HOA section) | Common in newer master communities | Varies |
| Walk-Distance Shopping | Yes — WGV at Fowler Groves | Varies — often built-in town center | Typically short drive |
| Tree Maturity | Established landscaping | Newer plantings | Varies |
💡 Value Proposition: Grovehurst trades the gated-entry and resort-style amenity package of newer master communities for an established neighborhood feel, a real shared amenity set, and direct walk-or-drive access to one of West Orange County's largest retail centers — usually at a more accessible price point than gated alternatives on the same corridor.

Grovehurst HOA & CDD Information
Grovehurst operates under the Stone Crest master community HOA framework, which funds the shared pool, tennis courts, playground, clubhouse, and common-area maintenance. Because the five Stone Crest sub-villages share amenities and a coordinated HOA structure, fee schedules and rules typically apply across the master community — but the precise current fee, payment schedule, and any sub-village specific assessments should be confirmed with the HOA management company directly.
The CDD status for Grovehurst is not confirmed in the community hub data. Stone Crest was developed in the era before CDDs became the default funding mechanism for newer Winter Garden master communities (such as those on the south side of SR 429), which makes a CDD-free profile plausible — but this should be verified through the property's tax disclosures before relying on it.

Please contact us to verify the CDD status on a specific property — the tax disclosures will show any CDD assessment line item.
