About Lake Reams Townhomes Neighborhood
Lake Reams Townhomes occupies a roughly square-block footprint on the west side of Reams Road in the southern reaches of Windermere's 34786 ZIP code. The community is purpose-built as a townhome enclave — there are no single-family detached homes mixed in — and the streets are organized in a tight grid that prioritizes shared green space, sidewalks, and the community pool deck over individual driveways or oversized lots. The result is a walkable, low-maintenance environment that attracts first-time buyers, downsizers, and Disney-cast-member households who want a Windermere address without an Isleworth-tier price tag.
Townhomes here generally feature two-story floor plans with attached garages, three to four bedrooms, and 1,500-2,200 square feet of living space, though specific home configurations vary across the community. Construction is concrete-block-and-stucco on the first floor with framed second floors, which is standard for Central Florida production townhomes from the early-2000s-through-early-2010s build window. Exterior maintenance, lawn care, and roof responsibilities are handled at the HOA level for most plans, which is the core value proposition for buyers comparing this community against the surrounding single-family neighborhoods.
Day-to-day life centers on the community pool and the connected sidewalk network, which links to Reams Road and the trail spurs running between Lake Sharp and the conservation areas to the west. The Reams Road / Newmarket Road intersection is the practical entry-and-exit point, feeding traffic toward Winter Garden-Vineland Road (CR 535) for grocery and medical, or south toward the SR 429 Western Beltway for theme-park and Horizon West commuting.

How Lake Reams Townhomes Compares
The most useful frame for Lake Reams Townhomes is to compare it against the two other practical options for a buyer who wants a Windermere 34786 address with townhome maintenance: Carrington, the newer Ashton Woods enclave a short distance south, and the single-family entry into Lakes of Windermere across Reams Road. Each makes a different tradeoff between price, square footage, age, and maintenance.
| Feature | Lake Reams Townhomes | Carrington | Lakes of Windermere (single-family) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Property Type | Attached townhome | Attached townhome | Detached single-family |
| Year Built | ~2003–2013 | 2013–2014 | ~2002–2010 |

| Total Homes | ~350+ | 78 | Larger master plan |
| CDD Fee | No | No | No |
| Exterior Maintenance | HOA-handled (most plans) | HOA-handled | Owner responsibility |
| Disney Drive Time | ~10–15 min | ~10–15 min | ~10–15 min |
💡 Value Proposition: Lake Reams Townhomes is the lower-price-of-entry townhome option in the Reams Road corridor — older than Carrington but with a larger total community footprint, a community pool, and the same Disney-corridor location and Windermere mailing address.

Lake Reams Townhomes HOA & CDD Information
Lake Reams Townhomes is governed by a homeowners association that maintains the community pool, common landscaping, sidewalks, and — for most floor plans — exterior building maintenance and roof reserves. The HOA structure is the central reason buyers select this community over a comparably priced single-family home elsewhere in southwest Windermere.
There is no Community Development District (CDD) overlay associated with Lake Reams Townhomes (verify with publisher), which keeps the total monthly carrying cost lower than newer townhome communities in the broader Horizon West / Hamlin corridor that do carry CDD assessments.
