Q: How close is Summerport to Walt Disney World?

About Summerport Neighborhood

Summerport sits in the southwestern corner of Windermere along Summerport Village Parkway, with CR 535 (Winter Garden Vineland Road) forming the eastern spine of the community. The master plan was developed in phases beginning in the early 2000s and continued through approximately 2016, producing roughly 1,200 single-family homes and townhomes across multiple sub-neighborhoods, all sharing a central amenity package and ringed by a series of small ponds and lakes.

The defining architectural difference between Summerport and the newer master-planned communities in adjacent Horizon West is age and scale. Summerport homes were built before the Disney-corridor land rush of the late 2010s, which means lots tend to be modestly larger, mature landscaping has filled in, and the streetscape feels more settled than communities a few miles south. Builders included Centex, Pulte, Ryland, and other production builders of the period, with floor plans ranging from townhomes around 1,500 square feet to single-family homes in the 2,000–3,500 square foot range.

What separates Summerport from most master plans in 34786 is the integration of commercial and civic uses inside the boundary: Cornerstone at Summerport sits at the eastern edge of the plan with Publix, restaurants, and services, and Orlando Health Medical Pavilion Summerport is on CR 535 within walking distance of most homes. Keene's Crossing Elementary is physically inside Summerport at 5240 Keenes Pheasant Drive — children in much of the community walk to school. Few Central Florida master plans put the grocery store, the doctor, and the elementary school inside their own boundary.

How Summerport Compares

The clearest value comparison for Summerport is against the newer master-planned communities in Horizon West directly to the south. Both areas offer similar Disney proximity and similar amenity packages, but the financial and lifestyle profiles differ.

Feature	Summerport	Horizon West (newer master plans)	Lakes of Windermere
Era of Construction	2003–2016	2015–present	1990s–early 2000s
CDD Fee	No (verify)	Typically yes ($2,000–$4,000+/yr)	No
Disney Drive Time	~10–15 min	~5–15 min	~12–18 min
Grocery Inside Master Plan	Yes (Cornerstone at Summerport)	Varies by village	No
Elementary School Inside Plan	Yes (Keene's Crossing)	Varies by village	No
Mature Landscaping	Yes	Limited	Yes

💡 Value Proposition: Summerport offers Horizon West–level Disney proximity and amenity scale without the CDD assessments that newer master plans carry, plus the integration of grocery, medical, and elementary school inside the community boundary that very few Central Florida master plans match.

Summerport HOA & CDD Information

Summerport is governed by a master HOA that maintains the central amenities — clubhouse, pool, fitness, parks, trails, the Walsh Pond beach and dock, and common landscaping. Several sub-associations exist within the master plan covering specific townhome and single-family sections, so HOA fees can vary depending on which part of Summerport a particular home sits in. The master plan does not currently carry a Community Development District (CDD) assessment, which is the most significant financial differentiator between Summerport and the newer master-planned communities directly south in Horizon West.
