Merrick Landing Homes for Sale

About Merrick Landing Neighborhood

Merrick Landing is a townhome-only community in southwest Windermere, accessed from Merrick Landing Boulevard at Summerport Village Parkway and Ingelnook Drive. Ryland Homes built the community in 2003 and 2004 with 81 attached townhomes ranging from approximately 1,068 to 1,556 square feet. Floor plans are two- and three-bedroom layouts with two to three bathrooms and rear-entry attached two-car garages off shared alleys — a less common configuration in the Windermere area that keeps streetscapes uncluttered by garage doors.

The community is organized around a wraparound retention pond at the entrance and a central oak-shaded park. Homes facing east and southeast — the side oriented toward Walt Disney World — have practical nightly views of the Magic Kingdom and EPCOT fireworks shows from second-story bedrooms, balconies, or rear patios, depending on tree line. The pool and a small clubhouse anchor the recreation area, and a network of internal sidewalks and a paved walking path circles the pond.

Unlike most newer Windermere townhome products, Merrick Landing is not part of a CDD-financed master plan. The community was built as a standalone subdivision with a straight HOA structure, which keeps annual carrying costs lower than comparably-priced townhomes in nearby CDD-burdened developments. Pricing in Merrick Landing has historically run roughly $300-$320 per square foot for two-bedroom units and somewhat lower per-foot for the larger three-bedroom plans, making it one of the more accessible price points in the 34786 ZIP code.

Merrick Landing Amenities & Lifestyle

Merrick Landing's lifestyle pitch is straightforward: a low-maintenance attached townhome at one of the most accessible price points in 34786, with a community pool, walkable proximity to grocery and basic services, and Disney close enough to feel like a backyard amenity. The community attracts a mix of cast members, first-time buyers, downsizing buyers, and second-home owners who want a Disney-adjacent base without the overhead of a single-family home.

How Merrick Landing Compares

Merrick Landing's value proposition only makes sense in the context of the alternatives. Within 34786 and across the Horizon West border, buyers comparing Merrick Landing are typically also looking at newer townhome and small-lot product. The trade-offs sort cleanly: Merrick Landing trades square footage and recent construction for a lower carrying cost, an established HOA, and walkable proximity to grocery and the SR 429.

Merrick Landing HOA & CDD Information

Merrick Landing operates under a single mandatory homeowners association covering the community pool, clubhouse, pond and walking path, common-area landscaping, and townhome exterior maintenance items typical of attached-product HOAs. The community has no CDD overlay, which keeps annual carrying costs notably lower than comparably-priced newer townhomes in adjacent Horizon West villages.

HOA fees for attached townhomes are typically higher than single-family HOAs because they often include exterior maintenance, roof reserves, and master insurance. The current Merrick Landing fee, payment schedule, and the management company contact change periodically — please reach out for current figures before factoring HOA costs into a purchase decision.
