Windermere Trails market snapshot (as of June 25, 2026): the median sale price is about $498K ($251 per sq ft), a buyer-leaning market (limited data). Based on 8 recent closings in live Stellar MLS data.
Windermere Trails is a master-planned community off Reams Road in Windermere, in the Horizon West area of Orange County (multiple Windermere and Horizon West real estate guides, 2026). Local guides describe roughly 743 single-family homes and townhomes built in phases between about 2012 and 2018, by builders including Meritage Homes, Mattamy Homes, and Beazer Homes. The MLS lists phases such as Windermere Trls Prcl 3, so confirm the exact phase and builder for any specific home.
Product is mixed. Single-family homes span a range of floor plans, while the townhomes, generally clustered toward the northeastern part of the community, are described as three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath plans of roughly 1,600 to 1,900 square feet, some with detached two-car garages and private rear courtyards, and a few with lake frontage (community and townhome listing guides, 2026). Confirm the exact size, bedroom count, garage, and lot for any specific home.
Because this is a mixed community by several builders, the money is made or lost on the home type, the builder, the lot, and the condition, not on the address alone. A meaningful structural point is the carrying cost: local guides report an HOA but no CDD here, which can save a buyer versus many newer Horizon West communities that add a CDD assessment. Confirm the current HOA dues, what they cover, and that there is no CDD on the exact parcel.
The pitch is a newer Windermere address inside Horizon West with resort-style amenities and strong schools nearby. The community amenities are described as a pool with a splash pad, a dog park with a wash station, a playground, an outdoor exercise station, and walking trails, with Hamlin Town Center, Walt Disney World, and major employers a short drive away. The work is the diligence: read the HOA, confirm the no-CDD status, verify the school zone, and price the home type and lot honestly.
