North Shore at Lake Hart: Homes for Sale in Lake Nona

By David Myers, Broker Associate · Nona Orlando Properties Team at Ziro Realty, LLC · Last reviewed August 14, 2026 · Contact David Myers

North Shore at Lake Hart is one of the larger neighborhoods in the Lake Nona area and one of the few where a public golf course, a working lake and a condominium product all sit inside the same 949 acres. It is also one of the few that is fully finished — there has been no new construction here for well over a decade.

The community sits between Moss Park Road and Kirby Smith Road, with North Shore Golf Club Blvd running through the middle of it as the main tree-lined drive.

What Amenities Do Residents Get?

One central recreation area serves all eight sections, with a pool, tennis and basketball courts, a baseball field, a fitness center, a children's play area, a dog park and a dock on Lake Hart.

Of the community's 949 acres, roughly 11 are given over to parks, ponds and recreation facilities. The dog park is the most recent addition. Because there is one shared recreation area rather than an amenity center per section, residents at opposite ends of the community are driving to the same pool.

Moss Park Elementary sits at the entrance, which is the single most cited reason families choose this neighborhood — see the school's profile at Moss Park Elementary. You can also see how this community compares against every other neighborhood on the Lake Nona neighborhood amenities chart.

What Is the Golf Course Like?

North Shore Golf Club is a public 18-hole course that winds through the neighborhood, and buying a home here does not include the right to play it.

The course runs through native Florida wetlands and stands of mature oak, with wide, forgiving fairways and receptive greens that suit a range of skill levels. More on it in the full write-up of North Shore Golf Club, and a wider view at the Lake Nona golf courses hub.

The club is owned and operated independently of the homeowners association. Golf is arranged directly with the club on a daily-fee or membership basis, and it is not bundled into association dues. That is worth understanding before you buy a lot on the course.

Can Residents Get Out on Lake Hart?

Not from inside the community — the community dock appears to be a viewing dock rather than a launch, and there is no boat ramp.

Lake Hart is a boatable lake of roughly 1,850 acres, connected to Lake Mary Jane, and it is well known for bass fishing. Residents who want to get a boat on the water launch at nearby Moss Park, which reaches both lakes. For more on the chain itself, see the guide to fishing and boating on the Lake Hart chain.

Some homes sit directly on the lake, and those lots are the largest in the community. If launching from home is the goal, confirm what is permitted for a specific address before writing an offer.

Where is North Shore at Lake Hart & What's Nearby?

The community sits between Moss Park Road and Kirby Smith Road in the 32832 ZIP code, with North Shore Golf Club Blvd as the main drive through it.

North Shore is one of the more central neighborhoods in the Lake Nona area and reaches most points of the community without getting on the 417 expressway. Background on the corridor itself is in the guide to Moss Park Road and the Eagle Creek corridor.

Nearby shopping includes the Publix-anchored Cornerstone at Lake Hart and the Nona Commons plaza, with more at Lake Nona Town Center. Take a virtual tour of North Shore at Lake Hart.

What Are the Homes Like?

Single-family homes run roughly 1,500 to 6,000 square feet on lots from zero-lot-line to an acre, alongside 216 condominium units at the Verandas at Lake Hart.

Homes carry two to seven bedrooms across one and two stories, with front-load garages throughout. Lakefront lots run largest, some to two acres. Most of the community was finished between 2001 and 2008 by Lennar (including its Ryland brand), Beazer Homes and US Homes, with custom home builders completing the lots that back to Lake Hart. A fuller picture of who built where is on the Lake Nona home builders hub.

The Verandas at Lake Hart sit at the northern tip of the Myrtle Creek section, on the northwest side of the community, and account for 216 of the homes here. They were built in four phases — Veranda I with 32 units, Veranda II with 40, Veranda III with 32 and Veranda IV with 112. Roughly half face the golf course and roughly half face conservation area. Units run about 1,300 to 1,578 square feet.

Because the community is fully built out, everything on the market is resale. Buyers set on a new home should look at Lake Nona's new construction neighborhoods instead.

What Does It Cost to Own Here?

There is no CDD at North Shore at Lake Hart, so the only recurring association cost for most owners is the master homeowners association — but Verandas owners pay two.

Association dues change over time and vary by section and home type, so I do not publish figures that go stale. Call/Text David Myers at 407.801.3286 or contact David Myers for the current numbers on a specific home, and for the governing documents that apply to it.

Who is North Shore at Lake Hart a Good Fit For?

It suits buyers who want mature landscaping and established streets over a new build, golfers who want course frontage without a country-club membership, and families who value having an elementary school at the entrance.

This community is a strong fit if:

• You want twenty-plus years of tree canopy and settled landscaping rather than a new build on a bare lot.
• You want to live on a golf course without buying into a private club — the course here is public and play is arranged directly.
• Schools drive your decision. Moss Park Elementary is at the entrance, and the community generally feeds Innovation Middle and Innovation High, two of the newer schools serving this side of Lake Nona.
• You want lake proximity, conservation views or golf views without leaving the Lake Nona area.
• You want a condominium in a neighborhood that is mostly single-family — the Verandas are unusual in that respect.

Look elsewhere if:

• You need to keep a boat, RV or trailer at the house. The recorded declaration requires them inside a closed garage. If that is a dealbreaker, Isle of Pines and Lake Whippoorwill-Hart are the two Lake Nona neighborhoods with no homeowners association at all.
• You want new construction. Nothing here is new. Start with Lake Nona new construction homes instead.
• You expect a guarded, gated main entry. The two entries into North Shore are open; the gates are at the section level. Buyers who want the community itself gated should compare Lake Nona gated communities.
• You want to launch a boat from your own community. There is no ramp, and the dock appears to be for viewing rather than launching. Shores of Lake Whippoorwill is worth a look for direct water access.
