Three neighborhoods, three completely different jobs: master developer, production builder, and cleanup crew.
Lennar built three Lake Nona area neighborhoods: Storey Park, Nona Terrace, and homes across the Moss Park area including the Oaks at Moss Park. Lennar traces to F&R Builders, founded in Miami in 1954; the name is a portmanteau of founders Leonard Miller and Arnold Rosen. It trades on the New York Stock Exchange as LEN and delivered 82,583 homes in fiscal 2025, making it one of the two largest homebuilders in the country. Storey Park broke ground in 2015 as a Lennar-developed master plan with rooftop solar as a standard feature. Nona Terrace is a gated townhome community started by Tousa Homes as Savannah Landings and finished by Lennar after Tousa failed, which is why it still records under the older plat name. Lennar's Everything's Included model puts features other builders sell as upgrades into the base price.
Lennar is the volume player on the Lake Nona builders list. Nobody else here delivers 82,000 homes a year nationally, and nobody else here has taken on three jobs as different as the ones Lennar has taken on in Lake Nona.
At Storey Park, Lennar was the master developer — raw land, roads, amenities, schools coming in behind, the whole thing. In the Moss Park area it was a production builder working inside somebody else's plan. At Nona Terrace it was, effectively, the cleanup crew: a community that stalled and got finished under a new name. Those are three different risk profiles and three different products, and the badge on the mailbox does not distinguish them.
Which Lake Nona neighborhoods did Lennar build?
Lennar built Storey Park, Nona Terrace, and a substantial share of the Moss Park area, including the Oaks at Moss Park.
Storey Park is by a wide margin the biggest of the three and the one where Lennar controlled everything. The Moss Park work sits inside an established area with its own history. Nona Terrace is the small, gated townhome outlier.
| Neighborhood | Product | Lennar's role |
|---|---|---|
| Storey Park | Single-family and townhomes across several collections, roughly 1,350 sq ft to over 4,000; rooftop solar, fiber, smart home standard | Master developer and sole builder; construction began 2015 and ran for years |
| Moss Park area, incl. the Oaks at Moss Park | Single-family; the Oaks Estates collection runs roughly 1,738 to 3,773 sq ft, 3–6 bedrooms | Production builder inside an established area |
| Nona Terrace | Gated townhomes; Manors roughly 1,560–1,628 sq ft, Estates roughly 1,615–2,000 sq ft, rear-access garages | Started by Tousa Homes as Savannah Landings; Lennar acquired the remaining lots and finished it, completing around 2013 |
Who is Lennar, and how long have they been building?
Lennar started as F&R Builders in Miami in 1954, and the company name is literally two founders' first names stuck together.
Gene Fisher and Arnold Rosen founded F&R. Leonard Miller joined in 1956 with $10,000 and 42 lots in Dade County. When the company was renamed, it took "Len" from Leonard and "nar" from Arnold. It went public in 1971 and has traded on the New York Stock Exchange as LEN since the early 1980s, with Miami still the headquarters seventy-two years later.
The scale now is hard to picture from a single street in Lake Nona. Lennar delivered 82,583 homes in fiscal 2025 on $34.2 billion in revenue, operating in 25 states and more than 50 markets. It runs its own mortgage company, title company and technology arm. The largest single reason for that scale was the 2018 merger with CalAtlantic, which briefly made Lennar the largest homebuilder in the country — and which matters locally for a reason we will come back to.
What is Everything's Included, and does it actually save money?
Everything's Included means Lennar puts features other builders sell as upgrades into the base price, and it changes the shopping process more than it changes the total.
At a builder that runs a design studio, you pick a base plan and then spend an afternoon adding granite, cabinets, flooring and smart home equipment on top. At Lennar you get a defined package with those items already in it. The base number looks higher against a stripped competitor; the out-the-door number is usually closer than the sticker suggests.
Where it genuinely helps is predictability and financing. It is easier to qualify against a number that already includes the finishes than to discover $60,000 of selections after you have been approved. Where it costs you is choice. If you have specific taste and want to drive it, a package-based builder will frustrate you, and that frustration is not a defect in the model — it is the model.
The practical resale consequence: within a Lennar collection, homes are unusually similar. That makes comps clean and it makes it harder to stand out when you sell. Your differentiators end up being lot, view, and what you did after closing.
Why do Nona Terrace listings say Savannah Landings?
Savannah Landings was the community's original name during development; it was renamed Nona Terrace, but the original name stayed on the plat, and the MLS keys to the plat.
The sign at the entrance reads Nona Terrace, and that is what the neighborhood is called today. But pull up any townhome there and the subdivision field will read something like "Savannah Lndgs." Buyers searching by subdivision name go looking for Nona Terrace, find nothing, and conclude there is no inventory. There is; it is filed under the name the community carried while it was being built.
The rename tracks a change of builder. Tousa Homes started the community as Savannah Landings. Tousa did not survive the housing crash, and Lennar acquired the remaining lots, finished construction and put the Nona Terrace name on the entrance. Build years run roughly 2008 to 2013, which straddles the crash — so within one small gated community you have homes finished before the handoff and homes finished after it, by two different companies. On a specific unit, the year built is the thing to check.
This matters beyond search. The plat name is what appears on title work, on the county parcel record, and often on HOA documents. If you are comparing what a unit sold for, or checking an assessment, search the plat, not the sign at the gate. It also means sold data for this community is easy to under-count: pull only "Nona Terrace" and you will miss history filed under the older name.
What makes Storey Park different from Lennar's other Lake Nona work?
Storey Park is the one where Lennar was the developer, not just the builder, and it is the one built around solar.
Rooftop solar came standard, marketed as Orlando's first solar-powered community, alongside fiber internet and smart home equipment. The amenity package is deeper than a typical production neighborhood: clubhouse, fitness center, resort pool with beach entry and lap lanes, event room, tennis, playground and open field. Innovation Middle School sits adjacent on the south side, with a Publix-anchored plaza to the east, and Belle Vie and Meridian Parks as neighbors.
Because Storey Park ran for so many years across several collections, a "Storey Park home" can mean a 1,350-square-foot townhome or a 4,000-plus-square-foot estate, built anywhere across a long construction window. Two things to ask on any specific home: which collection, and what solar equipment is actually installed and who owns it. Solar arrangements differ, and the answer affects both your utility math and your closing.
Did Lennar build in Eagle Creek?
Yes, and there is a wrinkle in the builder list at Eagle Creek worth understanding.
Eagle Creek's past builders include Centerline Homes, Standard Pacific, CalAtlantic, Lennar, KB Home and Toll Brothers. That reads as six independent companies. Three of them are now one.
Standard Pacific merged with Ryland in 2015 to form CalAtlantic. Lennar acquired CalAtlantic in 2018. So a Standard Pacific home, a CalAtlantic home and a Lennar home in Eagle Creek were built by different organizations at the time they were built — construction standards and crews genuinely differed — but the corporate successor for all three today is Lennar. If a warranty or a structural question ever reaches back to the builder, that is who it reaches.
What should you check before buying a Lennar home here?
Check the construction year, the solar arrangement if there is one, and the assessment structure — in that order.
Construction year first, because Lennar's Lake Nona work spans roughly 2008 through the present. A Nona Terrace townhome and a recent Storey Park home have almost nothing in common except the corporate name on the permit.
Solar second, and only in Storey Park. Confirm what is on the roof, who owns it, whether anything transfers, and how it interacts with a roof replacement down the line. This is a question your inspector and your title company both need answered, not a detail to sort out after contract.
Assessments third. Do not assume a CDD is or is not present based on the neighborhood name — districts can cover some phases and not others, and amounts reset annually. Our CDD fees explainer covers how to pull the number for a specific parcel. HOA dues vary widely across these three, and Storey Park's amenity depth is reflected in what it costs to maintain.
Lennar in Lake Nona: pros and cons
What works. Value per square foot is the strongest in this group of builders, and it is not close. Everything's Included makes budgeting straightforward and reduces the chance of a nasty surprise between contract and closing. Storey Park's amenity package genuinely outperforms what a production neighborhood usually delivers, and the solar and fiber were forward-looking for 2015. Lennar's in-house mortgage and title operations can simplify a transaction, and its size means it is not going anywhere.
What does not. Uniformity is the price of the model. Inside a Lennar collection the homes are close to interchangeable, which means when you sell you are competing on price and lot rather than on anything distinctive about the house. High-volume production building also draws more finish-quality complaints than low-volume building does, anywhere in the country, and a thorough independent inspection is not optional here just because the home is newer. The in-house mortgage convenience comes with incentive structures tied to using it — compare the rate against an outside lender before you take the builder credit. And Storey Park's long build window means some sections have been living next to active construction for years.
Our take. Lennar is where the money goes furthest in Lake Nona, and for a first home or a move-up on a defined budget it is a sound choice. The mistake is treating "it's a Lennar" as a single thing. Between a 2013 gated townhome, a Moss Park single-family, and a solar-equipped Storey Park estate, you are looking at three different builds, three different price tiers and three different sets of questions. And do not skip the independent inspection because the home is new. Volume building is volume building.
What the neighbors know
In Storey Park the running conversation is the power bill. Residents compare notes on what the solar actually offsets month to month, and the answer varies enough by home and by roof orientation that no one quotes a single number. The other Storey Park topic is construction: people who bought early lived beside dirt and trucks for a long stretch, and they will tell you which phases got the quiet years.
Over in Moss Park, the conversation is about the public park itself — a genuine amenity within biking distance that costs nothing to use — and about Moss Park Road, which residents watch closely as the area builds out. At Nona Terrace, it is the gate, the pond views, and being a half-mile from a Publix. Three neighborhoods, one builder, and no shared conversation at all.

Frequently asked questions
Which Lake Nona neighborhoods did Lennar build?
Lennar built Storey Park, Nona Terrace, and homes across the Moss Park area including the Oaks at Moss Park. Storey Park is the largest of the three and the only one where Lennar acted as master developer rather than just builder. Nona Terrace was started by Tousa Homes and finished by Lennar.
What is Lennar's Everything's Included program?
Everything's Included is Lennar's approach of putting features that other builders sell as upgrades into the base price instead. Granite counters, appliance packages, smart home equipment and similar items come standard rather than being selected in a design studio. The trade-off is less personalization: you are choosing among defined packages rather than building a specification from scratch.
Why do Nona Terrace listings show the subdivision as Savannah Landings?
Savannah Landings was the original name used while the community was being developed by Tousa Homes. After Tousa failed, Lennar acquired the remaining lots, finished the community and renamed it Nona Terrace, and that is the name on the sign at the entrance today. The original name stayed on the recorded plat, and MLS records key to the plat, so a Nona Terrace townhome commonly appears under a Savannah Landings subdivision label. If you are searching by subdivision and finding nothing, that is why.
What makes Storey Park different from Lennar's other Lake Nona neighborhoods?
Storey Park was built with rooftop solar as a standard feature and marketed as Orlando's first solar-powered community, alongside fiber internet and smart home equipment. It is also the largest and longest-running of Lennar's Lake Nona projects, with construction beginning in 2015 and continuing for years afterward, which means homes there span many construction years and several product collections.
Did Lennar build in Eagle Creek?
Lennar is listed among Eagle Creek's past builders, along with Centerline, Standard Pacific, CalAtlantic, KB Home and Toll Brothers. Worth knowing: Standard Pacific merged with Ryland to form CalAtlantic in 2015, and Lennar acquired CalAtlantic in 2018. Those homes were built by separate companies at the time, but three of the names on that list now sit under one corporate roof.
