Guard-gated, from zero-lot-line villas to canal-front estates.

Turtle Creek is about 276 homes behind a staffed gate, in three sections: Avalon’s villas and single-family homes, Boca Pointe’s custom estates on half-acre cul-de-sacs, and Waters Edge, where canal lots reach Little Fish Lake and the Butler Chain.
Tennis, basketball, sand volleyball and a playground serve everyone, and Avalon has its own pool and clubhouse. O-Town West is about three minutes south and Disney about three miles.
