Johns Landing Homes for Sale

About Johns Landing Neighborhood

Johns Landing occupies a roughly square parcel between Florida's Turnpike to the north and Johns Lake's 2,439-acre northern shoreline to the south, with vacant land to the east and the Johns Cove neighborhood to the west. The community is accessed through a single gated entrance off Remington Road, with all interior streets — including the main Largovista Drive corridor — private and homeowner-maintained.

The community was built in two distinct phases. Phase one launched in early 2000 with 159 homes running from the main gate entrance, and phase two followed in 2001 with 114 additional homes plus the playground, tennis area, boat dock, three of the community's four ponds, and the entry gate itself. Both phases were developed by Roberts/Cura on land that had previously been orange groves. The community was turned over to homeowner control in 2002, and Johns Landing has been entirely homeowner-funded and homeowner-governed since.

Within the larger community, the Johns Landing Estates section — 60 larger lakefront and lakefront-adjacent homesites along both sides of Largovista Drive — was set aside for later development as executive-style custom homes. These lots are demarcated by paved boundaries in the road and represent the highest end of the community in both home size and lot size.

Home sizes across Johns Landing range from approximately 2,000 to 7,600+ square feet across both one-story and two-story floor plans, with the larger custom homes concentrated in the Estates section. All utilities are underground, and the community sits in Winter Garden's 34787 ZIP code despite many homes carrying an Oakland, FL mailing-address designation in MLS records — a function of the community's position at the Oakland / Winter Garden municipal boundary.

Johns Landing Location & Connections

Johns Landing sits in the Western Oakland area of Winter Garden, accessed via Remington Road south of Hwy 50 / West Colonial Drive. The community is approximately a quarter-mile south of Hwy 50, a half-mile from the Hwy 50 / Florida's Turnpike interchange, and roughly four miles west of SR 429 (Daniel Webster Western Beltway) — a positioning that gives residents three major highways within a short drive without having any of them pass directly adjacent to the community itself.

The community's western edge borders the Johns Cove neighborhood, with the Deer Island area further west toward Lake Apopka. The West Orange Trail and the historic Downtown Winter Garden corridor are a short drive east, with the Plant Street historic district accessible via Hwy 50 or surface streets through Tildenville.

Johns Landing Amenities & Lifestyle

Johns Landing's defining amenity is direct, shared Johns Lake access — the private community boat ramp and dock mean residents can launch watercraft on the 2,439-acre lake without owning a lakefront lot or maintaining a private dock. For families, the playground and tennis courts within the community provide everyday recreation that doesn't require leaving the gate, and the three community ponds add fishing and walking interest across the larger property.

Beyond the gate, the lifestyle is shaped by the community's position at the western edge of Winter Garden. Plant Street's restaurants, the Winter Garden Farmers Market, and the West Orange Trail are 8–10 minutes east, while big-box shopping on Hwy 50 sits even closer. The setting trades the walkability of Plant Street-adjacent neighborhoods for lake access and larger lots — a different lifestyle profile than the Downtown Winter Garden or Stoneybrook West master-planned communities.

How Johns Landing Compares

Johns Landing sits in a small set of established gated Winter Garden communities offering direct Johns Lake access. Compared to the newer master-planned communities further south in Horizon West, Johns Landing trades planned amenity centers and resort pools for a 25-year-old established footprint, a private boat ramp on a 2,439-acre lake, and a notably wider range of home sizes within a single gated community.

Johns Landing HOA & CDD Information

Johns Landing is a deed-restricted, homeowner-governed community managed by an elected Board of Directors with day-to-day operations handled by a licensed community association manager. The HOA was turned over from the developer to homeowner control in 2002 and has been entirely homeowner-funded since.

The community has no CDD (Community Development District) assessment — a meaningful distinction from many of the newer Horizon West and Hamlin-area communities further south, where CDD fees can add several thousand dollars annually on top of HOA dues.
