About Pasatiempo Neighborhood
Pasatiempo is one of the quieter, more established neighborhoods in northern Dr. Phillips, tucked off Conroy Windermere Road between Dr. Phillips Boulevard and S Apopka Vineland Road. The neighborhood consists entirely of homes along Cll Del Sol — its single internal road — giving it an exceptionally private and cohesive feel. Metro Construction built the neighborhood between 1981 and 1984, producing solidly constructed block, brick, and stucco ranch-style homes that have aged gracefully with the area's mature canopy tree cover.
Homes in Pasatiempo are traditional ranch-style residences with 3 to 4 bedrooms, 2 car garages, and living spaces typically ranging from approximately 2,100 to 2,900 square feet. Half-acre lots are the standard, which is significantly more land than most newer Dr. Phillips communities provide. This extra space supports large yards, pools, and the kind of outdoor Florida living that drew families to the area in the early 1980s. Construction is block, brick, and stucco with shingle roofs — durable and time-tested for Florida's climate.
The neighborhood does not have shared amenities, but its location makes that a non-issue. Shadow Bay Park — an Orange County park with tennis courts, basketball courts, nature trails, sand volleyball courts, and a baseball diamond — is just two blocks east. Grand Oaks Village Shopping Plaza, anchored by The Fresh Market and featuring an AdventHealth urgent care, is immediately west along Conroy Windermere Road. The northern end of Dr. Phillips Boulevard is just west of the neighborhood, connecting residents to the rest of Dr. Phillips' amenities including Restaurant Row on Sand Lake Road.
