The Cove at Nona Sound Townhomes for Sale in Lake Nona

The Cove at Nona Sound is one of the newer gated neighborhoods in the Lake Nona area. It is a townhome community of open-concept, 3 to 4 bedroom two-story homes on zero lot lines, with garages that load from a rear alley rather than the street.

Created and built by Pulte Homes, the builder of both the VillageWalk and the Isles of Lake Nona neighborhoods in Lake Nona, The Cove at Nona Sound sits beside its sister neighborhood, the single-family Estates at Nona Sound. The two share a name and a builder but not a gate, an HOA or a set of amenities.

What Amenities Do Residents Get?

A gated entry, a pool with cabana and a playground — a short list by Lake Nona standards, with no clubhouse or fitness center.

Residents of The Cove at Nona Sound get:

• No CDD fees (Community Development District)
• Gated entry
• Playground
• Pool with cabana
• About a mile to the Split Oak Forest Conservation & Wildlife Habitat trailhead

What the neighborhood does not have: there is no clubhouse, no fitness center, no dog park and no tennis or pickleball court. If a full amenity campus is part of what you are buying, that is the trade to weigh — see the Lake Nona neighborhood amenities chart for how the community stacks up against its neighbors.

Included in the HOA fee:

• 1 gig of high-speed internet
• Common area and lot landscape/irrigation maintenance
• Yearly mulch replacement
• Irrigation repairs
• Sod replacement
• Roof replacement
• Exterior painting
• Townhome reserves for exterior painting and roof replacement

Where is The Cove at Nona Sound & What's Nearby?

The Cove at Nona Sound is off Clapp Simms Duda Road, just east of Narcoossee Road at the southeastern corner of the Lake Nona area — a dead-end road, so the only traffic is people who live there.

Boggy Creek Road intersects Narcoossee Road just south of this area, and the extension of the Osceola Parkway will eventually connect just north to Narcoossee. That will add another way around the Lake Nona area and connect residents to the 417 Expressway — see Lake Nona roads and transportation for where those projects stand. If you travel a lot, the Orlando International Airport and the Brightline station are only 5 miles away.

The Cove's neighbors include the Eagle Creek neighborhood directly to the north and The Estates at Nona Sound directly to the east. To the west is vacant land, and the Lake Ajay Village neighborhood in the Narcoossee section of St Cloud in Osceola County is directly to the south.

Nearby attractions include the Back to Nature Wildlife Refuge, which is just down the street, the Eagle Creek Golf Club, which is a golf shank away, and Nona Adventure Park, an aquatic park for all ages. For more of what is within a short drive, see Lake Nona parks and recreation.

Shopping is nearby at the Publix-anchored Lake Nona Plaza, just north along Narcoossee, as are the Lake Nona Station and Eagle Creek Center plazas — the Lake Nona shopping guide covers the rest. Nearby schools include Eagle Creek Elementary, Lake Nona Middle School and Lake Nona High School. None is within walking distance, and school assignments are set by Orange County Public Schools and can change — confirm the current zoning for a specific address, and see Lake Nona schools for the wider picture.

What Are the Townhomes Like?

Three two-story Pulte floor plans between about 1,553 and 1,770 square feet, all on zero lot lines with a 2 car garage off a rear alley.

Pulte Homes is the only builder here and is still selling new construction. Three floor plans are offered, ranging from 1,553 sq ft up to 1,770 sq ft, with some lots offering water and/or tree views. Every plan is two story with a 2 car garage; there is no single-story option. Because the garages load from a rear alley, the streetscape is front doors rather than driveways.

Classic Collection floor plans available:

• Orchid — 3 bed, 2-2.5 bath, 1,553 sq ft
• Dahlia — 3 bed, 2-2.5 bath, 1,683 sq ft
• Julep — 3-4 bed, 2-2.5 bath, 1,770 sq ft

With 168 townhomes planned, construction starting in 2023 and closings running through 2025 and 2026, buyers here are usually choosing between a Pulte build and an early resale from an original owner. For other options across the area, see Lake Nona home builders.

What Does It Cost to Own Here?

There is an HOA but no CDD, so the annual tax bill carries no district assessment on top of the property taxes.

The HOA fee is doing real work at The Cove: it covers roof replacement, exterior painting, landscaping and irrigation on the common areas and the lots, plus 1 gig of high-speed internet. That bundles several costs a single-family owner pays separately — a roof fund in particular — into one monthly figure.

Who is The Cove at Nona Sound a Good Fit For?

It suits a buyer who wants a newer gated Lake Nona home with no CDD and no exterior upkeep, and who values a quiet dead-end location over a big amenity campus.

It is a good fit if you:

• Want new construction in Lake Nona without a CDD assessment on the tax bill
• Would rather the association handle the roof, the paint and the yard than do it yourself
• Are buying at the townhome price point and want a gate, a pool and a 2 car garage inside it
• Like that Clapp Simms Duda Road dead-ends — the only traffic through here is residents
• Travel often, given the airport and Brightline station about 5 miles away

Look elsewhere if you:

• Need a single-story home. All three plans are two story with bedrooms upstairs, and there is no first-floor primary option. If single-level living is the requirement and you are 55 or older, Gatherings at Lake Nona is the 55+ condo alternative — age restriction applies, so it only works if you qualify.
• Will not accept shared walls. These are attached townhomes on zero lot lines. Next door, The Estates at Nona Sound is the detached single-family option in the same pocket of Lake Nona.
• Want a clubhouse, fitness center and events calendar. The Cove has a pool, a cabana and a playground and that is the list. Eagle Creek next door, Laureate Park and Storey Park all carry far larger amenity packages.
• Want to walk the kids to school. No school is within walking distance of the neighborhood.
