About Stonebridge Place Neighborhood
Stonebridge Place sits in the heart of the gated-condominium cluster that defines much of southwest Orlando's MetroWest master plan. Addressed off Tolstoy Lane, just north of Arnold Palmer Drive and roughly a third of a mile west of South Kirkman Road, the community is woven into the residential fabric surrounding the public MetroWest Golf Club, the Robert Trent Jones Sr. course that runs through the neighborhood.
The community was developed in the early 2000s — most listings place construction between 2002 and 2004 — and comprises two distinct home types. Horizons is the condominium product: three-story buildings of two- and three-bedroom, two-bath flats, several with screened balconies. Vistas is the townhome product, offering two- and three-bedroom layouts with two-and-a-half baths, attached garages, and screened lanais. Across both, homes generally range from roughly 1,050 to about 1,700 square feet, with a handful of larger floor plans, placing Stonebridge Place firmly in MetroWest's attainable, lock-and-leave tier rather than its golf-frontage estate tier.
With a community pool, spa, and a fitness center of roughly 4,000 square feet behind a gated entry, Stonebridge Place draws a mix of first-time buyers, students and faculty tied to nearby Valencia College's West Campus, investors, and downsizers who want a low-maintenance home minutes from Kirkman Road, the tourist corridor, and the rest of the master-planned community's amenities.

Stonebridge Place Location & Connections
Stonebridge Place is located in MetroWest, the 1,805-acre master-planned community in southwest Orlando organized along the Hiawassee Road spine. The community fronts Tolstoy Lane near Arnold Palmer Drive, with the public MetroWest Golf Club threading through the surrounding neighborhoods. Just to the south, the sibling community of Stonebridge Lakes sits on the north bank of Turkey Lake, with its entrance off MetroWest Boulevard.
The community's defining advantage is access. South Kirkman Road, a third of a mile east, is the area's gateway to Universal, Valencia College's West Campus, and Interstate 4, while the SR-408 interchanges nearby connect commuters to downtown Orlando in roughly twelve minutes. Everyday errands are handled within the master plan itself, and the Millenia retail district sits just east via Conroy Road.

How Stonebridge Place Compares
MetroWest contains three separately platted "Stonebridge" communities, and buyers often weigh them side by side. Stonebridge Place is the early-2000s condo-and-townhome option on Tolstoy Lane; Stonebridge Commons is the slightly newer, larger gated community on Robert Trent Jones Drive; and Stonebridge Lakes adds single-family homes on the north bank of Turkey Lake.
| Feature | Stonebridge Place | Stonebridge Commons | Stonebridge Lakes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Year Built (approx.) | 2002–2004 | 2005 | 2003–2006 |
| Home Types | Condos & townhomes | Condos & townhomes | Condos, townhomes & single-family |
| Typical Size | ~1,050–1,700 sq ft | ~1,100–2,370 sq ft | Wider range incl. larger homes |
| Setting | Gated, near golf course | Gated, resort-style pool | Gated, lakefront on Turkey Lake |
| CDD Fee | No | No | No |
💡 Value Proposition: Stonebridge Place is the entry point into the Stonebridge cluster — early-2000s gated condos and townhomes at an attainable price, with a pool, spa, and fitness center, positioned a third of a mile from Kirkman Road and the tourist corridor. Buyers wanting newer finishes or larger floor plans should compare it against the neighboring options above.

Stonebridge Place HOA & CDD Information
As a gated condominium and townhome community, Stonebridge Place is governed by a community association that maintains the shared amenities, gated entry, and exterior grounds. Because it was developed in the early 2000s as part of an older master plan, it carries no Community Development District (CDD) assessment — though buyers should confirm the current association structure and any special assessments before closing.
