Data as of September 20, 2026. Based on Stellar MLS data distributed by MLS GRID for the period 2006 through 2026; housing-stock figures from Florida Department of Revenue public records. Market figures describe homes, not residents. Cite as: Momentum Realty, “Independence key facts,” movewithmomentum.com/neighborhoods/independence, data as of September 20, 2026.
Independence is a large, master-planned community in Winter Garden with roughly 1,416 homes built between 2005 and 2023. With a median build year of 2011 and a median living area just over 2,000 square feet, this is a body of relatively modern, mid-size product. The single price figure we anchor to is the median, and what drives spread around it here is condition, floor plan, and lot rather than any wide swing in age or size.
The closings window in this snapshot is thin, so treat any read on speed and leverage cautiously and lean on live data before pricing. For sellers, the practical takeaway is that presentation matters: with product this comparable, a well-prepared home separates itself on condition, not novelty. For buyers, the same uniformity means you can compare like-for-like and let inspection findings and updates guide what you pay against the median.

The 60-Second Overview
Independence is a sizable, newer master-planned community; with most homes built in the 2005–2023 span and a median around 2011, the housing stock is consistent enough that condition and floor plan tend to decide value more than vintage.

Who Independence is best for.
Best for

- Buyers who want master-planned amenities and are comfortable pricing against the median with live-data checks
Probably not for
- Buyers seeking older or historic homes with distinct character
- Buyers wanting a broad spread of home sizes or a custom, one-of-a-kind footprint
- Buyers who need certainty on current market speed today, given the thin closings window in this snapshot

The Independence buying strategy.
If we were buying in Independence today, this is the order of operations we would run for our clients.
Underwrite the condition first. Price the roof, HVAC, and systems honestly before judging any list price; condition swings value here more than square footage alone.
Match the home to real comps. Recent sales of similar condition and lot, not the asking price, tell you what a home is worth.
Move deliberately, not desperately. Neither side has a decisive edge, so a well-prepared, fairly-priced offer wins without overpaying.
Line up financing and inspection early. A pre-approval and an inspection plan let you act fast and negotiate from evidence.
Keep an agent in your corner. The listing agent works for the seller; we represent you and prepare a hand-built valuation before any offer in Independence.
A uniform stock where condition sets the price
The defining trait of Independence is scale and consistency. More than 1,400 homes, a median living area just over 2,000 square feet, and a build range clustered around 2011 mean buyers are comparing homes that are broadly similar in age and size. That works in your favor for comps: the market gives you a lot of reference points, and differences in price track back to updates, maintenance, and lot position.
A homestead share of about 57% suggests a meaningful owner-occupied core alongside a real share of homes held otherwise. Practically, that mix can influence how quickly certain segments turn and how much inventory competes at any given time. Verify current supply before you commit to a number in either direction.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Independence. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here
In a community this uniform, the edge is in the details a spreadsheet misses: which updates actually move value, how a specific lot compares to the block, and where the median is soft versus firm right now. We price against live data rather than a stale snapshot, and we will tell you plainly when a home is overpriced for its condition or when the market has thinned out beneath a listing.
