About Winder Oaks Neighborhood
Winder Oaks is a small, cohesive neighborhood of 14 single-family homes in Dr. Phillips, tucked just off Conroy Windermere Road in the 32819 zip code. The entire community occupies a single street — Oak Chase Court — giving it a private, enclave-like character rarely found in suburban Orlando. Builder Kelly Concepts Inc. constructed the homes between approximately 2001 and 2006, bringing a contemporary Florida architectural sensibility to a neighborhood that sits precisely between South Kirkman Road to the east and Turkey Lake Road to the west.
Homes in Winder Oaks are Florida-style single-family residences offering 3 to 5 bedrooms with 2-car garages, ranging from approximately 2,300 to 4,000 square feet of living space. Typical lots are approximately quarter-acre in size. Interiors often feature bonuses like formal dining and living rooms, great rooms, and inside utility rooms — floor plans that deliver practical family-friendly functionality in a well-finished, 21st-century build. Block and stucco construction with shingle roofing reflects the durable, low-maintenance character typical of quality Central Florida construction from this era.
While the neighborhood itself has no internal amenities, residents effectively gain access to a full recreation campus courtesy of Shadow Bay Park, which sits just around the corner and is genuinely walkable. The park's facilities — tennis courts, basketball courts, a baseball diamond, sand volleyball, nature trails, and picnic areas — more than fill the role that a community amenity center would otherwise serve, and at no cost to homeowners beyond the park's public access. Multiple shopping plazas with groceries, dining, and services are also within walking distance of the neighborhood, making this location unusually self-sufficient for daily needs.
Winder Oaks is positioned in the heart of the Dr. Phillips entertainment corridor: Universal Studios Florida is approximately 1–2 miles away, and the neighborhood's access to Interstate 4 and the Florida Turnpike makes the entire metro Orlando area reachable with ease. For buyers seeking a newer construction home in an established Dr. Phillips address, with park access, proximity to top-rated schools, and minimal neighbors, Winder Oaks represents a highly functional and uncommon option in the market.

How Winder Oaks Compares
Winder Oaks occupies a specific niche in the Dr. Phillips market — newer construction (2001–2006) with Florida-style architecture, no CDD fees, and a uniquely intimate scale of just 14 homes. For buyers who want post-2000 construction quality in an established Dr. Phillips address without the scale or ongoing assessments of larger master-planned communities, Winder Oaks presents a compelling and uncommon option.
| Feature | Winder Oaks | Willowwood (Nearby) | Phillips Oaks (Nearby) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total Homes | 14 (very intimate) | ~117 | Larger subdivision |
| Year Built | 2001–2006 | 1978–1989 | 1999–2001 |
| Home Size Range | 2,300–4,000 sq ft | 2,115–5,000 sq ft | 1,500–2,500 sq ft |
| Typical Lot Size | ~¼ acre | ½ to 1 acre | Zero lot line |
| CDD Fee | No | No | No |
| Shadow Bay Park Access | Walking distance | No | Across the street |
| Builder | Kelly Concepts Inc. | Various | Centex Homes |
💡 Value Proposition: Winder Oaks offers newer construction quality (post-2000) in an established Dr. Phillips address with no CDD fees, just 14 neighbors for maximum privacy, and Shadow Bay Park's full recreation facilities at walking distance — a combination that's genuinely difficult to replicate elsewhere in the market.

Winder Oaks HOA & CDD Information
Winder Oaks has a mandatory Homeowners Association that manages deed restrictions and community standards for the neighborhood's 14 homes. Given the intimate scale of the community, the HOA functions as a straightforward governing body focused primarily on maintaining the neighborhood's appearance standards and shared responsibilities rather than managing extensive common amenities.
There is no CDD (Community Development District) fee in Winder Oaks. This is a meaningful distinction from many newer master-planned communities in Central Florida where CDD assessments can add substantial annual costs to homeownership over the life of the bond.
