Crescent Ridge: New Homes in Apopka FL by Pulte Homes (2026 Guide)

Crescent Ridge is a new Pulte Homes community in northwest Apopka, FL, in Orange County near the SR 429 and Kelly Park interchange. As of November 15, 2026, Pulte lists townhomes and single-family homes "starting at the mid $300's," with plans from 1,715 to 2,603 square feet and no CDD. Plan-level prices still show "coming soon," and Pulte is giving VIP interest-list members early access, so this is an early-stage community worth watching now.

Crescent Ridge by Pulte Homes: Quick Facts

About Pulte Homes

Pulte Homes is a national homebuilder and part of PulteGroup, which also builds under the Del Webb and Centex names. At Crescent Ridge, Pulte uses curated design packages on the townhomes and bungalow homes, so finishes are preselected rather than picked one by one in a design studio.

Are there incentives at Crescent Ridge?

Pulte's page shows a Hometown Heroes program for Orlando-area Pulte and Del Webb contracts accepted through December 31, 2026. Eligible teachers, nurses, EMS, police, firefighters and active or retired military can receive a $2,000 credit toward design options. It is one incentive per home and can't reduce the price. Ask the sales team what else applies when plan pricing is released.

What amenities does Crescent Ridge offer?

Pulte plans an amenity campus with a resort-style pool, a covered social veranda and outdoor terrace with a grill, a fitness center, two pickleball courts, a playfield, a shaded tot lot, a dog park and walking trails. Pulte's amenity images are renderings and note that features can change during development, so confirm what will be built and when.

Location and Schools: New Homes in Apopka FL

Crescent Ridge sits just outside Wyld Oaks, close to SR 429 (Wekiva Parkway). Driving routes from Pulte's map pin on November 15, 2026, put Kelly Park about 4.6 miles away (about 8 minutes), downtown Mount Dora about 7.4 miles (about 16 minutes), downtown Apopka about 8.9 miles (about 15 minutes) and Winter Garden Village about 17.5 miles (about 24 minutes). Downtown Orlando and Lake Mary are each about 23 to 24 miles away. Rush hour adds time.

Pulte's school info lists Kelly Park School on Jason Dwelley Parkway and Apopka High School on Martin Street. Attendance boundaries come from a third party and can change, so confirm your homesite with Orange County Public Schools.

The area is growing. GrowthSpotter reported on September 8, 2026, that Crescent Ridge was formerly known as Ondich South, and that Pulte plans a gated estate community called Oakmoor across Ondich Road, with sales targeted for summer 2027. The same report notes Crossroads at Kelly Park, planned for 670 single-family homes, 630 apartments and a commercial site.

Who Crescent Ridge Fits

Crescent Ridge suits buyers who want a newer home in Orange County without a CDD, with quick access to SR 429 and weekends at Kelly Park, Wekiwa Springs and Mount Dora. The Julep townhome fits first-time buyers and downsizers. The 40-foot bungalows, including the one-story Dylan, fit buyers who want a yard on a manageable homesite. The five-bedroom Caden and Talbot fit larger households.

What to Confirm Before You Buy

• Final plan pricing, the HOA amount and what it covers.
• Which homesites release first, lot premiums and estimated completion dates.
• When the amenity campus opens and what it includes.
• Your school zone by address, and the terms of any incentive, including lender requirements.
