About Pembrooke Neighborhood

Pembrooke sits in the southern portion of MetroWest, the 1,805-acre master-planned community developed through the late 1980s in southwest Orlando. The subdivision was built starting in 1988 and was mostly finished by 1991, placing it among the earlier residential phases of the master plan rather than the wave of gated condos that filled in later.

Unlike much of the surrounding area, Pembrooke is non-gated and entirely single-family. Homes range from about 1,440 square feet to more than 3,000 square feet of living area, spread across roughly 300 properties. The street layout leans heavily on cul-de-sacs — 15 of them — which keeps through-traffic low and tends to produce deeper, more private lots than a typical grid. Mature shade trees throughout the neighborhood are a direct result of its age; this is a settled, grown-in community, not new construction.

The location is one of Pembrooke's strongest selling points. The entrance opens onto South Hiawassee Road, the neighborhood's spine, immediately south of the MetroWest Golf Club and within minutes of the 183-acre Bill Frederick Park at Turkey Lake. Day-to-day shopping and dining sit a short drive north and the Conroy Road corridor puts the Millenia area a few minutes east.

How Pembrooke Compares

Pembrooke occupies a specific niche within MetroWest: established single-family homes with real yards, in a non-gated setting, at a time when most surrounding inventory is gated condos or newer suburban construction farther out. The table below frames that trade-off.

Feature	Pembrooke	MetroWest Gated Condos	Newer Suburban New Construction
Home Type	Single-family	Condo / townhome	Single-family
Typical Lot / Yard	Larger; cul-de-sac lots	Minimal / shared	Smaller production lots
Home Age	1988–1991 (mature trees)	Mid-1990s+	Current
Gated	No	Typically yes	Sometimes
CDD Fee	No (verify)	No	Often yes
Commute to Job Centers	Central / short	Central / short	Longer (outer ring)

💡 Value Proposition: For buyers who want a detached home with a yard and mature trees in a central, non-gated setting — and who'd rather skip both condo association density and the CDD assessments common in newer outer-ring construction — Pembrooke is one of the few options that checks all of those boxes inside MetroWest.

Like all neighborhoods inside the master plan, it falls under the MetroWest Master Association's architectural and design standards, in addition to any neighborhood-level association dues. Because it was established in the late 1980s, well before Community Development Districts became common for Orange County subdivisions, Pembrooke is not believed to carry a CDD assessment — though this should be verified against Orange County records for any specific property.
