About Siena Gardens Neighborhood
Siena Gardens is a boutique community of just 27 homes arranged along a single circular street — Siena Gardens Circle — in the northeastern section of Gotha. Built by Taylor Morrison Homes between 2007 and 2013, the community features two-story single-family residences ranging from approximately 2,886 to 4,858 square feet on lots of roughly 0.20 to 0.26 acres. Homes here showcase concrete block and stucco construction with elegant concrete tile roofs, open-concept floor plans, granite countertops, gas appliances, and first-floor master suites.
The community is accessed from Old Winter Garden Road via Aliso Ridge Road, placing residents within walking distance of Gotha's historic core along Hempel Avenue. Several homes back to conservation and preserve areas, providing natural buffers, mature tree canopy views, and enhanced privacy. Many homeowners have added custom pool and outdoor kitchen installations, taking advantage of the Florida lifestyle and generous lot dimensions.
Despite its small size, Siena Gardens includes a community playground and benefits from Gotha's unique position as a historic rural settlement surrounded by the conveniences of Greater Orlando. The nearby Nehrling Gardens botanical treasure and Woodlawn Memorial Park — the final resting place of beloved painter Bob Ross — are both within minutes, adding cultural richness to everyday life in Siena Gardens.
