About Ocoee Reserve Neighborhood
Ocoee Reserve sits on the east side of Ocoee, on a 10.91-acre site south of E. Silver Star Road, west of Good Homes Road, and east of Johio Shores Road. The neighborhood was approved by the Ocoee City Commission in September 2017, broke ground in late 2017, and was largely built out between 2019 and 2020 by Avex Homes — an Orlando- and Tampa-area builder that focuses on smaller, customizable infill communities rather than large production tracts.
The community was approved at a density of four dwelling units per acre and consists of 43 single-family lots arranged around a single point of ingress and egress on Silver Star Road. Avex offered four to six floor plans during the build-out, ranging from roughly 1,600 to 2,800 square feet, and worked directly with buyers on cabinet, countertop, and finish selections — so floor plans and finishes vary noticeably from house to house compared to typical national-builder communities in the area.
Because of the small scale, Ocoee Reserve has no on-site amenities like a pool or clubhouse — the trade-off for that is one of the lower HOA structures you'll find in newer East Ocoee construction. The neighborhood is non-gated, sits inside the 34761 ZIP code, and is positioned within walking or short-driving distance of Citrus Elementary, the Jim Beech Recreation Center and Family Aquatic Center, and the West Colonial Drive (SR 50) retail corridor.

Ocoee Reserve Amenities & Lifestyle
Ocoee Reserve was built without on-site amenities — there is no community pool, clubhouse, or playground. The trade-off is one of the lower HOA structures among newer East Ocoee neighborhoods, and the city's public recreation network does most of the work that an in-community amenity package would do elsewhere. The Jim Beech Recreation Center and Family Aquatic Center sits a short drive away and offers programmed pools, fitness, and youth and adult leagues.
Day-to-day life in this part of Ocoee revolves around the West Colonial Drive (SR 50) corridor for shopping, dining, and medical, the West Orange Trail for walking and cycling, and Bill Breeze Park on Starke Lake for festivals and lakefront events. Commuting and weekend trips lean on SR 408, SR 429, and Florida's Turnpike, all of which meet within a few miles of the neighborhood.

How Ocoee Reserve Compares
Ocoee Reserve fills a specific niche in East Ocoee: newer construction (2018–2020) at a small, 43-home scale, with no CDD, no on-site amenities, and a single point of access. The most useful comparisons are to the larger amenity-rich master-planned communities and to nearby Silver Star corridor neighborhoods of similar scale.
| Feature | Ocoee Reserve | Wesmere (Master-Planned) | Silver Bend |
|---|---|---|---|
| Year Built | 2018–2020 | 1991–1999 | 1991–2000 |
| Builder | Avex Homes (semi-custom) | Calton Homes | Various builders |
| Total Homes | 43 | ~700+ (master-planned) | Mid-size |
| On-Site Amenities | None | Pool, clubhouse, fitness, courts | Limited |
| Gated | No | Partially gated sections | No |
| HOA Structure | Lower (no amenities to maintain) | Higher (full amenity package) | Lower |
💡 Value Proposition: If newer construction matters more to you than a clubhouse, and you'd rather pay a smaller HOA and use Ocoee's well-funded public recreation network, Ocoee Reserve is one of the few East Ocoee options that delivers post-2018 construction at this scale without a CDD. The trade-off is straightforward: no community pool, no gated entry, and a single 43-home site means less inventory turnover than master-planned alternatives.

Ocoee Reserve HOA & CDD Information
Ocoee Reserve has a mandatory homeowners association that handles common-area landscaping at the entrance, neighborhood-level standards, and shared maintenance items. Because the community has no on-site pool, clubhouse, or gated entry, the HOA's scope is narrower than what you'd find in a master-planned community — which generally translates to a lower fee structure.
HOA fees, special assessments, and management company contact information change periodically. Rather than publishing dated numbers, we keep these details on a contact-only basis.
💰 HOA Fees & Management Contact
HOA fees and management company information often change. Please contact us and we will be happy to provide you with the current HOA fee, payment schedule, and direct contact information for the HOA management company.
