Silver Woods Homes for Sale

About Silver Woods Neighborhood

Silver Woods sits in the heart of Windermere 34786, tucked between Apopka-Vineland Road and Conroy-Windermere Road. The neighborhood was developed in the late 1980s as a mid-priced traditional community, and the housing stock reflects that era: side-entry garages, brick or stucco façades, screened lanais, and floor plans organized around formal living and dining rooms.

Homes here typically run 1,500 to 2,400 square feet with three or four bedrooms and two to two-and-a-half bathrooms. Lots are modest by Windermere standards — most are around a quarter acre — but the tree canopy that has grown in over the past three decades is the single most distinctive thing about the neighborhood. Streets are quiet, sidewalks are intact, and the pines and live oaks shade the front yards in a way that newer subdivisions simply cannot replicate.

Silver Woods is not gated and is not on the Butler Chain, so it does not carry an Isleworth or Westover-tier price tag. What it offers instead is a 34786 ZIP code, walking distance to The Grove at Isleworth, and access to the same school zone draw that lifts every Windermere neighborhood — at a price point that's typically a fraction of what new construction in this corridor commands.

Silver Woods Location & Connections

Silver Woods is positioned in southeast Windermere at the intersection of three of the area's most-used arteries: Apopka-Vineland Road on the east, Conroy-Windermere Road on the south, and Sand Lake Road just to the southeast. That triangle is what makes the neighborhood unusually well-connected for a 1980s-era community — most errands, schools, and commutes reach a major road within a minute or two of leaving the subdivision.

The location places residents inside one of the densest concentrations of upscale shopping and dining in west Orange County, while still inside the Windermere school catchment and ZIP code. Disney, the Sand Lake Road Restaurant Row, and the I-4 / SR 408 commute network are all within a roughly 15-minute drive.

Silver Woods Amenities & Lifestyle

The Silver Woods lifestyle is straightforwardly suburban: an established, non-gated neighborhood where most amenities residents use daily are outside the gates rather than inside them. The neighborhood's competitive advantage is its physical placement — almost everything Windermere is known for is reachable within a short drive or, in the case of The Grove at Isleworth, on foot.

How Silver Woods Compares

Silver Woods occupies an unusual slot in the Windermere market. Most of what surrounds it on the map — Isleworth, Westover, Reserve at Belmere, Casabella — is gated, custom, or both, with price points many multiples higher. The closest functional comparisons are other established (1980s–1990s) Windermere neighborhoods that don't carry a gate or a Butler Chain address.

Silver Woods HOA & CDD Information

Silver Woods is governed by an established homeowners association that has been in place since the original 1980s build-out. Compared with HOAs in newer Windermere developments, the structure here is straightforward: there are no resort-style amenities to fund, no gate guard to staff, and no developer reserve obligations being phased in. Fees historically reflect this simpler scope.

Silver Woods has no Community Development District (CDD) — a meaningful annual savings versus newer Windermere communities, where CDD assessments commonly add $1,500–$4,000+ to the property tax bill.
