Why people move here

Newer Meritage homes next to an 80-acre park.

Parkside was Meritage’s flagship Orlando community, opened in 2013 with a lottery for the first homes. About 315 Mediterranean-style homes now sit along Buenavista Woods Boulevard, many with four bedrooms or more.
The clubhouse, pool, tennis and soccer field are inside, trails lead to Dr. P. Phillips Community Park, and O-Town West is just past the south edge.
Upsizers and relocators who want newer construction with a park and the parks close by.
