About Remington Oaks Neighborhood
Remington Oaks occupies a quiet, self-contained pocket in northern Ocoee, accessed off Hackney Prairie Road just east of Clarke Road. The community was developed in 1999 with construction completed largely between 2000 and 2002, and the majority of its 140 homes were built by Lennar Homes — meaning the neighborhood reads as a single architectural era rather than a hodgepodge of vintages. Floor plans range from approximately 1,669 to 3,812 square feet, with most homes falling in the mid-2,000-square-foot range on traditional Lennar lots.
The defining feature of Remington Oaks is its on-site recreation area at 2108 Hargate Court — a private community pool and playground reserved for residents. That single amenity, combined with the neighborhood's direct adjacency to a City of Ocoee park (Prairie Lake Park) and to Prairie Lake Elementary School, is the reason Remington Oaks consistently markets itself as a family-friendly community. Homes back up to mature tree lines in many sections, and the streets follow a curvilinear layout that keeps cut-through traffic out.
Because Remington Oaks is non-gated, day-to-day living feels more like a traditional suburban neighborhood than a controlled-access community — but the deed restrictions and active HOA mean exterior standards, parking rules, and architectural changes are all enforced. Buyers attracted to this neighborhood typically want the structure of an HOA-managed community without paying the premium of a gated address, and they want walkable proximity to a public park and an elementary school more than they want resort-style amenities.
📊 Quick Facts
🏠 What Makes Remington Oaks Distinct
- Single-builder consistency: Lennar built the majority of the neighborhood within a tight 2000–2002 window, giving the community a uniform architectural feel.
- Walkable elementary school: Prairie Lake Elementary borders the neighborhood directly to the east — most homes are within walking distance.
- Adjacent public park: The community is bordered by a City of Ocoee park (Prairie Lake Park), effectively adding city-maintained green space to the residents' private amenities.
- Private pool and playground: Resident-only recreation area at 2108 Hargate Court means amenities are not shared with the surrounding public park.
- Non-gated affordability: Deed-restricted standards without the higher HOA fees typical of gated Ocoee communities like Westyn Bay or Wesmere.

Remington Oaks Amenities & Lifestyle
Lifestyle in Remington Oaks is built around two centers of gravity: the private resident-only pool and playground at 2108 Hargate Court, and the immediately adjacent public Prairie Lake Park and Prairie Lake Elementary. Because the neighborhood is non-gated, residents flow easily between private community amenities and public-facing recreation, and most families with school-age children walk or bike to the elementary school rather than drive.
The broader West Colonial Drive corridor is a one-mile drive south, putting West Oaks Mall, the city's largest grocery, dining, and big-box retail concentration, and the Orlando Health Health Central Hospital campus all within a short trip. For weekend recreation, the West Orange Trail and Bill Breeze Park on Starke Lake are both within 10 minutes.

How Remington Oaks Compares
Remington Oaks competes most directly with neighboring Ocoee subdivisions in the same northern corridor — particularly Prairie Lake (which surrounds it on the north and west) and Prairie Meadows (less than half a mile north). The trade-off versus newer construction in Ocoee is straightforward: buyers give up brand-new finishes for established trees, settled HOA finances, a private resident-only pool, and walkable proximity to an elementary school.
| Feature | Remington Oaks | Prairie Lake | Prairie Meadows |
|---|---|---|---|
| Year Built | 2000–2002 | Late 1980s–1990s | 1990s–2000s |
| Builder Consistency | Predominantly Lennar | Multiple builders | Multiple builders |
| Total Homes | 140 | Larger (multi-section) | Mid-size |
| Gated | No | No | No |
| Private Pool/Playground | Yes | Varies by section | Limited |
| CDD Fee | No | No | No |
| Walking Distance to Elementary | Yes (Prairie Lake Elem.) | Yes | Near |
💡 Value Proposition: Remington Oaks is the rare Ocoee neighborhood where you get a single-builder Lennar community, a resident-only pool and playground, and walkable elementary school access — all without paying the gated-community premium. The trade-off is home age: most properties are 22–25 years old and may need updates, but the bones, layout, and location are dialed in.

Remington Oaks HOA & CDD Information

The HOA enforces architectural standards, parking rules, and community covenants, and its fees fund maintenance of the private pool and playground recreation area, common-area landscaping, and association operations. There is no Community Development District (CDD) fee — Remington Oaks predates the era when Central Florida master-planned communities began layering CDD assessments on top of HOA fees, which keeps total monthly carrying costs lower than newer comparable neighborhoods.
