Waterleigh Ph 1C
Homes for Sale in Winter Garden, FL
True comps, carrying-cost math, and listings before the portals.
Waterleigh Ph 1C is a built-out phase, not a new-construction pipeline. With homes dated 2016 to 2024 and a median year built of 2018, this section has enough seasoning that resale condition and floor plan updates matter more than builder incentives. The median price of $699,500 against a median 2,840 square feet points to larger-format homes, and the median price per square foot of $246.30 gives a workable benchmark for pricing a specific listing up or down based on lot, upgrades, and condition.
A median 44 days on market is a moderate pace — not a bidding-war environment, but not a sit-and-wait one either. Sellers here should expect buyers to compare price per square foot closely across the 174 homes in this phase rather than anchor on the median price alone. Buyers have room to negotiate on condition and timing, but well-priced listings in this size range are not lingering.
The 60-Second Overview
Waterleigh Ph 1C market snapshot (as of July 13, 2026): the median sale price is about $700K ($246 per sq ft over the trailing 12 months of closed sales), and a median 44 days on market for closed sales.
Waterleigh Ph 1C is a community of 174 homes in Winter Garden, Orange County, built between 2016 and 2024 (median 2018.0), with a median living area of about 2,840 square feet. 66% of parcels are homesteaded, the owner-occupancy proxy in the Florida DOR assessment roll (2025 roll, public records).
This phase of Waterleigh in Winter Garden holds 174 homes built between 2016 and 2024, with a median size near 2,840 square feet — a footprint that skews toward larger single-family product rather than starter homes.
Who Waterleigh Ph 1C is best for.
Best for
- Buyers who want a larger single-family footprint (near 2,840 sq ft) built within the last decade rather than a brand-new build
- Buyers comfortable pricing off a median near $699,500 and evaluating each home individually on condition and per-square-foot value
- Buyers planning longer-term ownership, consistent with the phase's 66.3% homestead share
Probably not for
- Buyers who require a confirmed, documented community amenity package as part of the purchase decision
- Buyers seeking active new construction rather than resale homes built between 2016 and 2024
- Buyers wanting a smaller or lower-priced footprint than the phase's median size and price point
Price History: What Homes Here Have Actually Sold For

The Waterleigh Ph 1C buying strategy.
If we were buying in Waterleigh Ph 1C 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 Waterleigh Ph 1C.
What the numbers say about this phase
The math here is straightforward: a median price of $699,500 divided across a median 2,840 square feet lands at roughly $246 per square foot, which is the number to use when sanity-checking any specific listing against the rest of the phase. Because the built range spans 2016 through 2024 with a median build year of 2018, this is a mix of slightly older and newer construction within the same phase — worth asking about when comparing two homes at similar price points.
A homestead share of 66.3% indicates most owners in this phase have filed for homestead exemption, which typically points to longer-term occupancy rather than a high concentration of investor or short-term holdings. Current MLS listings show no identified community amenities for this phase specifically, so any clubhouse, pool, or recreational access tied to Waterleigh at large should be confirmed directly rather than assumed from the phase data alone.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Waterleigh Ph 1C. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
