About Waterford Pointe Neighborhood

Waterford Pointe sits in southern Windermere, on Lake Burden — a private, non-Butler Chain lake known for waterskiing, fishing, and quiet shoreline living. The community is gated and oriented around lakefront and lake-view homesites, with custom estate homes set on generously sized lots that are noticeably larger than typical newer Windermere production communities.

Architecturally, homes vary widely — Mediterranean, traditional Southern, and transitional contemporary all appear, reflecting the custom-build heritage of the neighborhood. Mature oaks, established landscaping, and the lake itself give Waterford Pointe a settled, private feel that sets it apart from the newer master-planned developments along the SR 429 / Winter Garden Vineland Road corridor a few minutes away.

For buyers, the appeal is straightforward: a gated address, a private lake, larger-than-typical lots, and proximity to The Grove at Isleworth, Cornerstone at Summerport, and the southwest Windermere school cluster — without the density or CDD layer of newer Horizon West communities (like Summerport and the SR 429 corridor master plans) to the south.
