About Windsor Landing Neighborhood
Windsor Landing sits at the southern edge of Ocoee, just south of Thornebrooke Drive off Maguire Road, with primary access at Maguire Road and Sagecrest Drive and a second entrance at Thornebrooke Drive and Kentshire Boulevard. The location places it geographically between the established Gotha hamlet to the south and the Windermere community to the southeast, while remaining inside Ocoee's 34761 ZIP and Orange County tax jurisdiction.
The neighborhood was developed and built out across roughly four years, from 2001 through 2005, producing a community of about 215 single-family residences. Homes range from approximately 2,400 to 4,000 square feet with four to five bedrooms, three to five bathrooms, and two- or three-car garages. The architectural program is consistently Mediterranean-themed — barrel-tile roofs, stucco exteriors, and arched entryways predominate — giving the streetscape a unified appearance that has aged well as the landscaping has matured.
Two gated entrances control access, an unusual feature for a community of this size and one that residents tend to cite as a practical advantage. Within the gates, the streets are well-maintained, lots are landscaped, and the amenity package is intentionally compact rather than expansive: a fishing dock, a children's play area, and a basketball court rather than a clubhouse, pool, or fitness center. That positioning matters when comparing Windsor Landing to neighbors with full amenity decks — the trade-off is reflected in the HOA structure.

How Windsor Landing Compares
Windsor Landing's pitch isn't amenities — it's positioning. The community trades the resort-style amenity package found in larger nearby developments for a simpler dues structure, gated security, and a school feeder pattern shared with Windermere addresses that typically command higher prices.
| Feature | Windsor Landing | Reserve at Belmere | Wesmere |
|---|---|---|---|
| Location | South Ocoee (34761) | Windermere | Ocoee |
| Year Built | 2001–2005 | Late 1990s–early 2000s | Late 1990s–2000s |
| Gated | Yes (two entrances) | Yes | Yes (sections) |
| Community Pool/Clubhouse | No | Yes | Yes |
| Approx. Home Count | ~215 | Varies | Master-planned (large) |
| CDD Fee | No | No | No |
| School Feeder | Thornebrooke / Gotha / Olympia | Thornebrooke / Gotha / Olympia | Varies by section |
💡 Value Proposition: Windsor Landing offers buyers a Windermere-zoned school pattern at an Ocoee address, gated security with two controlled entrances, and a deliberately compact amenity package that keeps dues lower than amenity-rich competitors. The community works best for buyers prioritizing schools, security, and home size over communal facilities.

Windsor Landing HOA & CDD Information
Windsor Landing operates under a mandatory homeowners association (HOA) responsible for maintaining the gated entrances, common-area landscaping, community amenities (fishing dock, playground, basketball court), and the private community streets. The community does not carry a Community Development District (CDD) assessment, which is a meaningful distinction from many newer developments in West Orange County where CDD fees can add $1,500–$3,000+ annually to property tax bills.
HOA fees and management company information change from time to time, so we don't publish specific dollar amounts here — they go out of date quickly and create more confusion than clarity.
