Lakeview Village Estates: New Homes in Winter Garden FL by Davila Homes (2026 Guide)

Most new construction in West Orange County right now means Horizon West — 500-home villages, shared pools, CDD assessments. Lakeview Village Estates is the opposite bet. It is a boutique enclave of just 40 residences a short walk from Plant Street, and it is one of the few chances to buy new homes in Winter Garden FL inside the historic downtown grid rather than out at the edge of it. Davila Homes is building it now, with several plans available and homes under construction through 2026.

Lakeview Village Estates Quick Facts

Pricing, availability and dues change frequently in a 40-home community. Verify current figures with the builder before writing an offer.

About Davila Homes

Davila Homes is a Central Florida builder, not a national production company — which is the whole point here. Founded in 2010 by TJ Davila and headquartered in Orlando, the firm has delivered homes to more than 800 families and has picked up multiple Parade of Homes awards. It also builds in Bella Collina, Montverde, Windermere and Golden Oak, so the portfolio skews custom and semi-custom rather than volume.

Practically, that means a shorter build list, more designer involvement, and a design center rather than an online options catalog. It also means fewer homes to choose from and less flexibility on timing than you would get from a national builder a few miles east.

Floor Plans and Pricing

The community splits cleanly into two collections. The townhomes are two-story, two-car-garage plans: the Gardenia at 1,653 sq ft (3 bed / 2.5 bath), the Seaside at 1,760 sq ft, and the Bayview at 1,852 sq ft. These start in the $600Ks — steep for a townhome by county averages, and explained almost entirely by the location.

The single-family plans run larger and are mostly four-bedroom designs: Redwood and Oakwood at 2,061 sq ft, Maple at 2,432, Cedar at 2,450, Willow at 2,708, Carson at 2,888, Palmetto at 2,995, Magnolia at 3,064, and the Cypress at 3,087 sq ft. Listed single-family pricing starts near $899,840.

Amenities: The Town Is the Amenity

There is no resort pool, no clubhouse, no fitness center. On a 40-home infill site there was never going to be one, and Davila has leaned into that instead of apologizing for it. What you get instead is a golf-cart-friendly community whose amenities are the ones already built: Plant Street's restaurants and breweries, the Saturday Winter Garden Farmers Market, the Garden Theatre, the West Orange Trail, and Newton Park on Lake Apopka for sunsets.

For buyers comparing new build communities near Winter Garden, this is the real trade. You give up the amenity package and gain walkability — plus an HOA that maintains common areas rather than a resort facility, which usually keeps monthly dues predictable.

Location Highlights

The site sits in the historic downtown grid, minutes from SR 429 and Florida's Turnpike, which puts Winter Garden Village under 10 minutes away, downtown Orlando around 30, and the Disney parks roughly 25 to 30 minutes out depending on traffic. Orlando International is about 35 minutes via the 429 and 528.

The school zoning is worth flagging for families shopping homes for sale in Winter Garden FL: Dillard Street Elementary, Lakeview Middle and West Orange High are the in-town assignment, distinct from the Horizon West feeder pattern buyers often assume applies citywide. Confirm zoning with OCPS before you commit, as boundaries do move.

What Makes Lakeview Village Estates Stand Out

Scarcity is the product. Winter Garden's historic core is essentially built out. Forty new residences inside walking distance of Plant Street is not a supply that repeats, and infill lots of this size rarely come available again.

It answers a specific buyer. Downsizers who want to keep the downtown lifestyle without a 1940s cottage's maintenance. Remote professionals who want walkable dinners. Second-home buyers who want a lock-and-leave near the parks. If you want a big backyard and a community pool, Horizon West serves you better and cheaper.

Price it honestly. At $600K+ for a townhome you are paying a location premium over comparable square footage a few miles east. That premium has historically held well in downtown Winter Garden — but it is a premium, and you should go in knowing it.

Is Lakeview Village Estates Right for You?

With only 40 homesites and several plans already under construction, the selection here will narrow fast. If you are weighing this against Horizon West, Hamlin or Clermont, the right move is to walk both in the same week — the difference between an amenity community and a walkable town is something you feel on site, not on a spec sheet.

I represent buyers throughout Winter Garden, Windermere and Clermont, including on new construction. Builder sales agents work for the builder; having your own representation costs you nothing on a new build and gives you someone reviewing the contract, the incentives and the inspections on your side.
