Island Pointe Homes for Sale

Q: What is the HOA fee for Island Pointe?

Please contact Florida Neighborhood Realty for the current HOA fee, payment schedule, and HOA management company contact information. Because Island Pointe has no internal amenities, HOA fees here are typically lower than in newer master-planned communities with pools and clubhouses, but they still cover common-area maintenance, the entry feature, and architectural enforcement.

About Island Pointe Neighborhood

Island Pointe sits in the older northern portion of 34787, in the original Winter Garden grid north of historic downtown and east of Lake Apopka's southeastern shoreline. The single entrance is marked by a simple white sign with blue lettering on Island Pointe Drive, off N. Fullers Cross Road. Streets inside the community include Island Pointe Drive and Chase Drive, and homes are arranged on standard suburban lots with a mix of mature trees and open spaces.

The neighborhood is non-gated and modest in scale — approximately 62 single-family homes — with no community clubhouse, pool, or internal park. A centralized mail station near the entrance serves the community in place of individual mailboxes. Homes range from roughly 1,650 to 3,700 square feet, with two to five bedrooms and two-car garages typical. Construction dates span the early 1990s through the mid-2010s, so buyers will encounter a meaningful spread of finishes, roof ages, and HVAC vintages from one home to the next.

What Island Pointe trades in community amenities, it earns back in location. The neighborhood sits less than a mile from Newton Park on Lake Apopka and roughly a mile from Plant Street and historic downtown, which means residents have walking-to-short-driving access to a lakefront boat ramp, the West Orange Trail, and the brick-lined downtown core — without paying for the on-site amenity package (and the CDD bond) that comes with newer master-planned communities further south in 34787.

🏡 What Makes Island Pointe Distinct

Older 34787 location, not a newer master-planned community: Island Pointe pre-dates the Horizon West-era CDD-funded developments, so there is no CDD bond on these homes.
Single entrance, small scale: Approximately 62 homes on one entrance off N. Fullers Cross Road makes for a quiet, low-traffic interior.
Walkable to Lake Apopka access: Newton Park's boat ramp, fishing pier, and Tanner Hall lawn sit roughly a mile south, on the lakefront.
Short drive to historic downtown: Plant Street, the Saturday Farmers Market, and the Garden Theatre are about a mile from the neighborhood.
Architectural variety: A 20-plus-year build-out window means the interior streetscape doesn't have the cookie-cutter uniformity of single-phase communities.

Island Pointe Amenities & Lifestyle

The Island Pointe lifestyle is defined by what's near the neighborhood rather than what's inside it. Residents trade on-site amenities for proximity to Lake Apopka's shoreline, the West Orange Trail, and the dense walkability of historic Downtown Winter Garden — three of the strongest lifestyle assets in 34787 within roughly a mile of the front gate.

Day-to-day, that translates into morning trail rides to downtown, Saturday mornings at the Winter Garden Farmers Market on Plant Street, weekday errands at Winter Garden Village at Fowler Groves, and lake access for fishing and boating at Newton Park's public ramp.

🏊 Neighborhood Amenities

Island Pointe is a non-gated single-family neighborhood with no internal community amenities. There is no clubhouse, no community pool, no playground, and no internal park or trail. A centralized mail station near the entrance serves the community.

🛍️ Shopping & Services

Day-to-day shopping is anchored by Winter Garden Village at Fowler Groves, the 80-plus-store open-air center off Daniels Road, plus boutique retail along Plant Street in historic downtown.

How Island Pointe Compares

Island Pointe's value proposition is built around three trade-offs: it is older than the master-planned Horizon West communities to the south, it has no internal amenities or CDD bond, and it sits within a mile of historic downtown and Lake Apopka. Buyers shopping the broader 34787 market typically weigh it against newer amenity-driven neighborhoods further south or against Downtown Winter Garden's premium pricing.

Feature	Island Pointe	Newer Master-Planned (e.g., Hickory Hammock, Lakeview Reserve)	Downtown Winter Garden
Typical Home Age	1993–2015	2010s–present	1920s–present (varied)
Gated	No	Often yes	No
CDD Fee	No	Often yes	No
Internal Amenities	None	Pool, clubhouse, playground typical	None (public Newton Park, Plant Street)
Distance to Plant Street	~1 mile	3–6+ miles typical	Walkable
Distance to Lake Apopka Access	~1 mile (Newton Park)	2–5+ miles typical	Adjacent (Newton Park)

💡 Value Proposition: Island Pointe offers walking-to-short-driving access to Lake Apopka and historic downtown without a CDD bond, HOA-pool fees, or the premium per-square-foot pricing of Downtown Winter Garden itself. The trade is no internal amenities and an older housing stock with a wider age spread.

Island Pointe HOA & CDD Information

Island Pointe Homeowners Association, Inc. governs the community. Because the neighborhood has no on-site amenities (no pool, clubhouse, or recreation facilities) and is non-gated, the HOA's role is primarily focused on common-area maintenance, deed-restriction enforcement, and the front entry/mail station rather than the larger amenity-package responsibilities found in newer master-planned communities. Island Pointe is not a CDD community, so buyers will not encounter a separate Community Development District bond on the tax bill.

Does Island Pointe have a community pool, clubhouse, or park?

No. The neighborhood has no internal amenities — no pool, no clubhouse, no playground, and no community park. Nearby public options include Farnsworth Community Pool, Oakland Park Amenity Center and Pool, Newton Park on Lake Apopka, and Veterans Memorial Park.

What schools serve Island Pointe?

Island Pointe is likely zoned for Dillard Street Elementary, Lakeview Middle School, and Ocoee High School under current OCPS attendance zones.

When were homes in Island Pointe built?

Homes were built across a long window — approximately 1993 through 2015 — though the bulk of construction reportedly occurred in the early 2000s. This wide build-out range means buyers should expect significant variation in roof age, HVAC vintage, and finish level from one home to the next.

Both are roughly a mile away. Newton Park, the city's primary Lake Apopka access point with a boat ramp and fishing pier, is about a mile south, and Plant Street in historic downtown is a similar distance south. This proximity is the neighborhood's primary value proposition relative to newer communities further south in 34787.
