Southbridge Village Homes for Sale

About Southbridge Village Neighborhood

Southbridge Village sits along Summerport Village Parkway in the southwest portion of Windermere, just inside the boundary between the 34786 ZIP code and Horizon West to the south. The community was developed in 2007 as a townhome enclave inside the broader Summerport master plan, giving owners the convenience and lower maintenance of attached housing while sharing access to the pool, clubhouse, fitness center, parks, trails, and Walsh Pond beach that define Summerport itself.

The roughly 100 townhomes range from approximately 1,490 to 1,640 square feet — typically two-story floor plans with 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and one- or two-car garages. A subset of homes back to a small interior pond, giving those units water views without lakefront pricing. The architectural style is consistent across the community: muted earth-tone stucco, tile roofs, and modest front porches that pull from the same design vocabulary as neighboring Merrick Landing and Magnolia Park.

What makes Southbridge Village work as a neighborhood is the combination of small scale and big amenity package. With only ~100 doors, residents recognize each other; with full Summerport access, they get the pool and parks of a 1,000-home community. The HOA fee is higher than a typical Windermere single-family neighborhood because it covers exterior maintenance and roofing in addition to the master amenity package — a structure that suits buyers who want a lock-and-leave footprint or a lower entry point into a Windermere ZIP code.

Southbridge Village Location & Connections

Southbridge Village sits along Summerport Village Parkway in southwest Windermere, west of CR 535 (Winter Garden–Vineland Road) and north of the Horizon West village line. The community is part of the Summerport master plan, sharing entrances and amenity infrastructure with neighboring Merrick Landing and the wider Summerport single-family neighborhoods.

SR 429 Western Beltway on-ramps are reachable in 5–7 minutes, opening fast access north toward Apopka and the Turnpike, and south to Disney's Western Way entrance. The Florida Turnpike and I-4 are both reachable in roughly 15 minutes via the 429. The closest neighborhood waterway is Lake Speer, a small lake on the southwest edge of the Summerport plan; the larger Butler Chain of Lakes sits to the north and east, accessible from Windermere proper but not from Southbridge Village directly.

Southbridge Village Amenities & Lifestyle

Southbridge Village's lifestyle pitch is straightforward: the lowest-effort version of Windermere living. Owners get the master-plan amenity package without yard work or roof responsibility, and the small-scale community keeps neighbor recognition high.

The neighborhood character skews young-professional, downsizer, and first-time-buyer-into-Windermere — three groups that share a preference for low maintenance over square footage. Weekday evenings feel quiet; weekends bring traffic to the Summerport pool and Walsh Pond beach a short walk away.

How Southbridge Village Compares

Southbridge Village is most usefully compared to two alternatives buyers actually weigh: newer Horizon West townhomes south of SR 429 (which carry CDD fees), and entry-level single-family homes in Summerport itself.

Southbridge Village HOA & CDD Information

Southbridge Village operates under an HOA structure that covers both the townhome-specific maintenance items (exterior, roof, paint, common landscaping) and the shared Summerport master-plan amenities. This is why the fee runs higher than a typical Windermere single-family HOA — it's effectively bundling two layers of community management.

Southbridge Village does not have a CDD (Community Development District) fee, which is a meaningful difference from many of the newer townhome communities in Horizon West south of SR 429. For buyers comparing total monthly carrying costs, the absence of CDD here partially offsets the higher HOA dues.
