About Wynwood Neighborhood
Wynwood sits on the northern edge of Ocoee, accessed from McCormick Road just south of the Apopka city boundary. The community was launched by D.R. Horton in 2022 and has rolled out in phases through 2025, building on a portion of the McCormick Road corridor that had remained relatively rural even as Ocoee's central and southern districts filled in. Floorplans range from roughly 1,504 to 2,787 square feet, with garage configurations covering two- and three-car options across the model lineup.
The defining draws here are the resort-style pool with a shaded cabana, the network of walking paths threading through the community, and a notable share of homesites with pond and water views. Homes are delivered with quartz or granite kitchen counters, stainless appliances, and D.R. Horton's "Home is Connected" smart-home package — a roughly consistent finish level across the floorplans rather than a heavily upgraded base. The buyer profile leans toward first-time and second-time buyers and relocating families looking for new construction inside Orange County without paying Horizon West or Lake Nona pricing.
Geographically, Wynwood is one of the closest D.R. Horton neighborhoods to Lake Apopka and the city's northern lakeshore corridor. The location puts SR 429 within a short drive for commuters heading toward downtown Orlando via SR 408, or northwest toward Apopka and Mount Dora — a function of Ocoee's unusual position at the intersection of three expressways.

Wynwood Location & Connections
Wynwood is positioned in northern Ocoee along the McCormick Road corridor, with Greenwood Oak Drive serving as the primary internal address. The community sits roughly halfway between SR 429 to the east and the McCormick Road / Apopka-Vineland Road junction to the west, putting it inside Ocoee city limits but within walking and short-drive distance of the Apopka boundary.
The area's defining geography is its proximity to the Lake Apopka watershed to the north and west. Most daily errands and commercial trips follow McCormick Road south to West Colonial Drive (SR 50) or east to the SR 429 interchange.

How Wynwood Compares
Wynwood's value proposition is straightforward: new D.R. Horton construction inside Orange County, no CDD, with resort-style amenities — at a price point below Horizon West and Lake Nona. The trade-off is the location on Ocoee's northern edge rather than central Ocoee or a more established area.
| Feature | Wynwood | McCormick Woods | Westyn Bay |
|---|---|---|---|
| Builder / Style | D.R. Horton (Tradition Series) | Established (mid-2000s) | Established (mid-2000s) |
| Year Built | 2022–2025 | ~2005–2012 | ~2005–2014 |
| Home Sizes | ~1,504–2,787 sq ft | ~1,800–3,300 sq ft | ~1,800–4,000+ sq ft |
| Gated | No | Yes | Yes |
| CDD Fee | No | No | No |
| Community Pool / Amenities | Resort pool, cabana, walking paths | Pool, playground | Resort pool, clubhouse, fitness, lakefront access |
| Waterfront Access | Pond / waterview lots only | Pond / waterview lots only | Direct Lake Apopka frontage |
💡 Value Proposition: Wynwood is the new-construction option in the McCormick Road corridor — no aging-systems risk and full builder warranties — without the gated-community premium of Westyn Bay or the older inventory of McCormick Woods. The trade-off is non-gated access and pond-rather-than-lake water exposure.

Wynwood HOA & CDD Information
Wynwood is a non-gated D.R. Horton community with a homeowners association that maintains the resort-style pool, cabana, walking paths, common landscaping, and entrance signage. There is no Community Development District (CDD) fee in Wynwood — all common-area maintenance flows through the HOA, not a separate CDD bond assessment. This is a meaningful distinction from many newer master-planned communities in Horizon West and Winter Garden, where CDD assessments typically add several thousand dollars per year on top of HOA dues.
