Legado Homes for Sale

About Legado Neighborhood

Legado — Spanish for "legacy" — sits on the south side of Reams Road in southern Windermere, a few miles east of the Walt Disney World property line. The community was developed by Mattamy Homes between 2019 and 2021 and contains 160 residences in total: 114 attached two-story townhomes and 46 single-family homes built across a mix of one- and two-story Craftsman, Prairie, and Tuscan exterior styles.

Single-family floor plans range from approximately 2,027 to 3,415 square feet with three to four bedrooms and three to three-and-a-half bathrooms. Townhomes range from 1,578 to 1,756 square feet with three bedrooms and two-and-a-half bathrooms. Most townhomes include a one- or two-car garage, and many homes back to conservation or pond views. The product mix gives Legado a wider price band than most Windermere neighborhoods of its vintage — townhomes serve as an accessible entry point into the 34786 ZIP code, while the single-family side offers larger family homes without the lot-and-tax structure of estate communities.

At the center of the neighborhood, residents share a community pool, cabana, and tot lot. The community is bounded by wetland conservation areas, which act as a natural buffer and give many lots their backyard outlook. Legado's defining feature is location: it is one of the closest residential communities to Walt Disney World's back service entrance, making it a practical choice for cast members and frequent park-goers.

Legado Location & Connections

Legado sits in the southern Windermere / Horizon West-adjacent corridor, accessed off Reams Road and connected to Winter Garden Vineland Road (CR 535) — Windermere's primary south route to Disney and I-4. The community is bordered by extensive wetland conservation areas to the south and west and by Disney's back-of-house property to the southwest, which means Legado is essentially the last residential block before crossing into Disney territory.

Legado Amenities & Lifestyle

Legado pairs new-construction homes with a small, focused amenity package — pool, cabana, and tot lot — and a location that lets residents walk away from the resort sprawl while staying minutes from it. The conservation buffer on the south and west sides is the lifestyle differentiator most residents talk about: nature outlooks instead of neighbor-facing rear windows.

Day-to-day errands run along the CR 535 / Winter Garden Vineland Road corridor, with grocery, pharmacy, and dining clustered at Cornerstone at Summerport a few minutes north and at Lakeside Village a similar distance the other direction. For larger shopping or restaurant runs, Winter Garden Village is roughly 10 minutes north on CR 535.

How Legado Compares

Legado occupies an unusual slot in the Windermere market: it carries the 34786 ZIP code without the lake-and-acreage premium that defines most of Windermere's price band, and without the CDD layer that comes with most newer Horizon West master plans. The townhome inventory in particular is one of the more accessible ways into a Windermere mailing address.

Legado HOA & CDD Information

Legado is governed by a homeowners association that oversees the community pool and cabana, the tot lot, common-area landscaping, and the conservation-area boundaries. Because Legado includes both single-family homes and attached townhomes, HOA fees are typically structured in two tiers — single-family owners pay a lower fee that primarily covers shared amenity and common-area maintenance, while townhome owners pay a higher fee that additionally covers exterior building maintenance and exterior insurance components typical of attached-product HOAs.

Legado does not have a Community Development District (CDD) assessment. This is an important point of comparison against most new-construction neighborhoods in the broader Horizon West corridor immediately south, where CDD bonds and ongoing operating assessments are standard.
