About The Pointe Neighborhood
The Pointe sits in the far western quadrant of Hunter's Creek, accessed through Pointe at Hunter's Creek Drive off the community's internal street network. The village is bounded on the west by the SR 417 Central Florida GreeneWay and a buffer of conservation and wetland — a position that gives it limited through-traffic and a compact, defined footprint.
The defining feature of The Pointe is water. Interior ponds shape the lot layout, and the village is recognized across Hunter's Creek as one of its pond-front villages. Homes are single-family, built out in the late 1990s and early 2000s with the Mediterranean-detailed stucco-and-barrel-tile character that runs across the community. Typical floor plans fall in the 1,800–2,800 square foot range with 3-4 bedrooms, two-car garages, and screened lanais on many of the water-backed lots.
Pointe residents pay into the Hunter's Creek Community Association in addition to the village sub-association, which is what funds the seven community parks, the main entry landscaping, and the community-wide events — Bunny in the Park, Fourth of July, Fall Festival, and Hunter's Creep. Pond frontage, a compact village footprint, and the full master-planned amenity package define the buyer profile.

How The Pointe Compares
The Pointe's pitch is practical: pond-view and pond-front lots inside an established master-planned community, with direct SR 417 access and no CDD layered over the HOA. Newer waterfront communities in southwest Orlando routinely layer CDDs on top of HOA dues and often deliver smaller lots.
| Feature | The Pointe | Newer Pond-Front Communities | Resale Non-Waterfront Resale |
|---|---|---|---|
| Water Frontage | Pond-front and pond-view lots | Varies; premium often charged | Typically no water frontage |
| Home Age | Late 1990s–early 2000s | 2015–present | Varies |
| CDD Fee | No | Often yes | Varies |
| Expressway Access | Adjacent to SR 417 | Varies | Varies |
| Master-Planned Amenities | Full Hunter's Creek package | Varies by community | Varies |
💡 Value Proposition: The Pointe delivers pond-view and pond-front ownership inside Hunter's Creek's master-planned amenity package, without the CDD bond most newer Orlando waterfront communities layer on top of the HOA.

The Pointe HOA & CDD Information
The Pointe homeowners pay a layered HOA: a sub-association fee for The Pointe plus the Hunter's Creek Community Association assessment that funds the community-wide amenity package. There is no CDD bond layered on top of the HOA, which is one of the main cost distinctions between Hunter's Creek and the newer master-planned communities built south and west.
The Hunter's Creek Community Association manages the seven community parks, main community entries, and the community-wide event calendar. Architectural review for exterior changes is typically handled by the sub-association first, with community-wide standards applied on top.
