The Vias at Round Lake
Homes for Sale in Apopka, FL
True comps, carrying-cost math, and listings before the portals.
The Vias at Round Lake is a proposed gated executive and estate-home community north of Apopka, and the read is a very early-stage plan on a distinctive site rather than a community selling homes. Orlando-based Elevation Development, with Waad Capital LLC, submitted a pre-application for a 244-lot subdivision on about 115 acres at 5354 Cemetery Road - the former Tangerine Airport - at Round Lake and Cemetery roads. The plan describes 39 lots at 80 by 120 feet and 205 lots at 70 by 120 feet, with homes starting in the $600,000 to $700,000 range.
This is the earliest formal stage, a pre-application submitted in late 2025, with the developer reportedly under contract to close on the land in late 2026. A gated, higher-priced community on a former airport parcel is a clear differentiator, but rezoning or annexation, a builder, a recorded plat, and the HOA and any CDD are all unresolved and must be verified before the plan can be treated as real inventory.

The The Vias at Round Lake buying strategy.
If we were buying in The Vias at Round Lake 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 The Vias at Round Lake.
A gated community proposed on a former airport
The Vias at Round Lake matters for two reasons: the product and the site. North Apopka toward Tangerine has seen mostly agricultural land and standard subdivisions, so a proposed gated community of executive and estate homes priced from the $600,000s would occupy a higher tier than most nearby new construction. And the parcel itself - the former Tangerine Airport, long used for aircraft repair - is an unusual redevelopment story that gives the plan a distinct identity if it advances.
The plan's numbers are specific but preliminary. A 244-lot layout split between 80-by-120-foot and 70-by-120-foot homesites points to a substantial-but-not-sprawling lot format, and the $600,000-to-$700,000 range signals a move-up-to-executive buyer. But these come from a pre-application, the least-committed stage of the process, and the developer was still working toward closing on the land. Everything past the concept - who builds, exact pricing, gating and amenity details, HOA and any CDD - is unresolved.
The trade-offs are those of the earliest possible stage. Approval is not guaranteed, the timeline runs through a land closing targeted for late 2026 and a rezoning or annexation that has not happened, and a former-airport site can carry its own review considerations. For now, The Vias at Round Lake is a distinctive plan to watch and verify against the north-Apopka market, not a community where a home can be priced today.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in The Vias at Round Lake. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
