Quick Summary: Shores at Lake Whippoorwill at a Glance
Shores at Lake Whippoorwill is a 14-home neighborhood of Toll Brothers estate homes on roughly 15 acres off Kirby Smith Road, just east of Narcoossee Road. Toll Brothers was the only builder, worked here between 2021 and 2022, and sold the neighborhood out, so everything that trades now is a resale.
Ten homes sit on interior homesites and four back directly to Lake Whippoorwill. Homesites run from about a quarter acre to 2.31 acres. Amenities are limited to a shaded park area and an open field — there is no pool, clubhouse, fitness center or gate — and the neighborhood carries no CDD assessment.
- 14 Homes
- Toll Brothers Built
- Built 2021–2022
- 4 Lakefront Homes
- No CDD
- Not Gated
- Resales Only
Fourteen homes is small enough that the whole neighborhood fits on one street. That is the defining fact about Shores at Lake Whippoorwill, and it cuts both ways: almost no through traffic and a genuinely quiet setting, but also very little resale turnover and no shared amenities to speak of. The trade a buyer makes here is amenities and inventory for size, privacy and a tax bill with no CDD line on it.

What Amenities Do Residents Get?
Very little by design — a shaded community park area with lounging chairs and an open field, and nothing else.
There is no community pool, no clubhouse, no fitness center, no playground, no dog park and no tennis or pickleball court. A buyer coming from Laureate Park or Eagle Creek will notice the difference immediately. You can see how this compares across the area on the Lake Nona neighborhood amenities chart.
A shopping plaza sits adjacent to the neighborhood, anchored by Gator's Dockside. It is a commercial neighbor rather than a community amenity, and residents reach it from Narcoossee Road like everyone else — there is no resident gate into it.

Where is Shores at Lake Whippoorwill & What's Nearby?
Off Kirby Smith Road just east of Narcoossee Road, south of the 417 Central Florida GreeneWay and directly south of Stratford Pointe.
Shopping, dining, grocery and entertainment sit within about a mile in either direction along Narcoossee Road. That includes the Lake Nona Landing shopping center. An AdventHealth hospital is under construction nearby, with opening announced for 2027. Lake Nona High School and Valencia College Lake Nona are a couple of miles south, and Lake Nona Town Center and Boxi Park are a couple of miles away.
Kirby Smith Road itself is the older, rural side of this area. Immediately around the neighborhood you will find multi-acre homesites in the Lake Whippoorwill-Hart Rural Settlement, which gives this stretch a much lower-density feel than the newer Lake Nona neighborhoods west of Narcoossee Road. Shores at Lake Whippoorwill is on public water and sewer.
What Are the Homes Like?
Large one- and two-story estate homes from Toll Brothers, three to six bedrooms, with three- and four-car garages.
Toll Brothers built the entire neighborhood between 2021 and 2022 and sold two separate collections here. The Estates Collection covered the smaller end, and the Signature Collection covered the larger homes, reaching just under 7,000 square feet. Recorded MLS sales here run roughly 3,800 to 7,000 square feet, though only a portion of the 14 homes have ever traded on the open market, so that range is indicative rather than a complete picture.
Many of the same plans were also offered at Laurel Pointe Lake Nona. If you are cross-shopping the two, holding the floor plan constant is a useful trick — what is left over is lot, view, gate and assessment rather than the house itself.
Floor Plans Toll Brothers Offered Here
These are the plans Toll Brothers marketed at Shores at Lake Whippoorwill. A plan being offered does not confirm it was built here, and square footages are base plan figures — as-built size varies with options, elevation and homesite.

The Four Lakefront Homes
Four of the 14 homesites back directly to Lake Whippoorwill, and those homes drew from the larger Signature Collection plans. The remaining ten are interior homesites with no lake frontage and no deeded lake access. That distinction matters more here than in most neighborhoods, because a buyer who wants water is not waiting on a neighborhood to turn over — they are waiting on four specific houses.
What Does It Cost to Own Here?
There is an HOA but no CDD, so the annual Orange County tax bill carries no district assessment on top of the ad valorem taxes.
HOA: Shores at Lake Whippoorwill has a homeowners association. Dues are set by the association and can change, and what they cover varies. Call/Text David Myers at 407.801.3286 for the current dues and governing documents on a specific home.
CDD: None. Many of the larger Lake Nona neighborhoods — Laureate Park, Randal Park, Storey Park, Isles of Lake Nona among them — do carry a Community Development District assessment, which appears as a separate non-ad valorem line on the tax bill. Shores at Lake Whippoorwill does not. See how CDD fees work in Lake Nona for what that difference means over a hold period.
Set against that, the homes themselves are large. A 4,000 to 7,000 square foot house carries insurance, cooling and maintenance costs that scale with size regardless of what the assessment picture looks like, so the absence of a CDD is a real advantage but not a small-budget one.
Who is Shores at Lake Whippoorwill a Good Fit For?
Buyers who want a large, newer estate home on a generous homesite in a very small neighborhood, and who do not need amenities, a gate, or a fast timeline.
A good fit if…
- You want 3,800+ square feet of newer construction without building from scratch.
- You want a large homesite — up to 2.31 acres here — while staying on public water and sewer.
- A no-CDD tax bill matters to you and you have compared it against neighborhoods that carry one.
- You value a genuinely quiet street with almost no through traffic over shared amenities.
- You like Toll Brothers construction and want the same plan library available at Laurel Pointe Lake Nona without the density.
Look elsewhere if…
- You want lake access and you are not buying one of the four lakefront homes. The other ten homesites have no water frontage and no deeded access. North Shore at Lake Hart and Water's Edge both offer lake access to residents generally rather than to four addresses.
- You want a community pool, clubhouse or fitness center. There are none here. Eagle Creek and Laureate Park are built around exactly that.
- You want a gated entry. Shores at Lake Whippoorwill is not gated. Laurel Pointe Lake Nona offers similar Toll Brothers homes behind a gate.
- You need to buy within a defined window. Fourteen homes generate very little turnover, and a buyer who must move by a date will run out of runway. Eagle Creek and Isles of Lake Nona carry far more inventory at estate-home sizes.
- You want acreage with horses or no HOA at all. The Lake Whippoorwill-Hart Rural Settlement next door has multi-acre lots and neither an HOA nor a CDD, on the same public water and sewer.
What Schools Serve Shores at Lake Whippoorwill?
Homes here are assigned to Village Park Elementary, Lake Nona Middle and Lake Nona High.
Orange County Public Schools sets these assignments and changes them as new schools open and boundaries are redrawn, which happens regularly in this part of Orlando. Proximity to a school is not the same as being zoned for it. Confirm the current assignment with OCPS for the specific address before you make a decision that depends on it, and see the Lake Nona schools overview for the wider picture.
Fourteen homes means listings here are infrequent and often sell to buyers who were already watching. If Shores at Lake Whippoorwill is on your list, Call/Text David Myers at 407.801.3286 or get in touch and I will set up a watch on the neighborhood and send recent sales so you know what a fair number looks like when one comes up.
Shores at Lake Whippoorwill: Frequently Asked Questions
How many homes are in Shores at Lake Whippoorwill?
Shores at Lake Whippoorwill has 14 homes on about 15 acres. Ten sit on interior homesites and four back to Lake Whippoorwill. At that size, homes reach the open market only occasionally. Call/Text David Myers at 407.801.3286 to be notified when one becomes available.
Who built Shores at Lake Whippoorwill?
Toll Brothers was the sole builder. The homes were built between 2021 and 2022, and the neighborhood sold out of new construction. Toll Brothers was also the only builder at Laurel Pointe Lake Nona and offered many of the same floor plans there.
Can you still buy new construction in Shores at Lake Whippoorwill?
No. Toll Brothers finished here in 2022 and the neighborhood sold out, so anything available now is a resale. Call/Text David Myers at 407.801.3286 for current availability and recent sales.
Are there waterfront homes in Shores at Lake Whippoorwill?
Yes, but only four of the 14. Those four homesites back directly to Lake Whippoorwill. The other ten are interior homesites with no lake frontage and no deeded lake access, so a buyer who wants water has to wait for one of four specific homes to come up.
How large are the homes in Shores at Lake Whippoorwill?
Homes recorded in the MLS here run roughly 3,800 to 7,000 square feet. That range comes from a small number of recorded sales, so treat it as indicative rather than complete. The plans Toll Brothers offered started at 2,976 square feet for the one-story Bordeaux and reached 6,960 square feet for the two-story Montech.
What floor plans did Toll Brothers offer at Shores at Lake Whippoorwill?
Toll Brothers sold two collections here. The Estates Collection covered the Bordeaux, Grenache, Marsanne, Corbeil, Dolcetto and Barbera plans, from 2,976 square feet up. The Signature Collection covered the Cabris, Varen, Soudron, Montech and Bressols plans and reached just under 7,000 square feet. A plan being offered is not proof it was built here, and only a portion of the 14 homes have ever changed hands through the MLS, so confirm the plan on any specific home before relying on it.
How big are the homesites in Shores at Lake Whippoorwill?
Homesites range from about a quarter acre to 2.31 acres. One homesite is 2.31 acres and the next largest is 1.77 acres, so the top of that range is a single property rather than a tier. The larger parcels are on the lake side.
What amenities does Shores at Lake Whippoorwill have?
Amenities are deliberately minimal: a shaded community park area with lounging chairs and an open field. There is no community pool, clubhouse, fitness center, playground, dog park, or tennis or pickleball court. The shopping plaza next door, anchored by Gator's Dockside, is a commercial neighbor rather than a community amenity.
Is Shores at Lake Whippoorwill gated?
No. Shores at Lake Whippoorwill is not gated and has no guarded or card-controlled entry. Buyers who want a gate should look at Laurel Pointe Lake Nona or Eagle Creek instead.
Where is Shores at Lake Whippoorwill located?
The neighborhood is off Kirby Smith Road, just east of Narcoossee Road, in the Lake Nona area of Orlando, FL 32832. It sits south of the 417 Central Florida GreeneWay and directly south of Stratford Pointe.
What is near Shores at Lake Whippoorwill?
Shopping, dining and grocery options sit within about a mile in either direction along Narcoossee Road, including Lake Nona Landing. Lake Nona High School and the Valencia College Lake Nona campus are a couple of miles south, and Lake Nona Town Center and Boxi Park are a couple of miles away. An AdventHealth hospital is under construction nearby, with opening announced for 2027.
Does Shores at Lake Whippoorwill have a CDD?
No. Shores at Lake Whippoorwill has no Community Development District, so there is no CDD assessment on the annual Orange County property tax bill. Many of the larger Lake Nona neighborhoods do carry one, so this is a real difference in carrying cost.
Does Shores at Lake Whippoorwill have an HOA?
Yes. Shores at Lake Whippoorwill has a homeowners association. Dues are set by the association and can change, so confirm the current amount and what it covers before writing an offer. Call/Text David Myers at 407.801.3286 for the current HOA documents on a specific home.
What schools serve Shores at Lake Whippoorwill?
Homes here are assigned to Village Park Elementary School, Lake Nona Middle School and Lake Nona High School. Orange County Public Schools sets these assignments and can change them, so confirm zoning with OCPS for the specific address before you rely on it.
Does Shores at Lake Whippoorwill have public water and sewer?
Yes. Homes in Shores at Lake Whippoorwill are on public water and sewer rather than well and septic.
Why does Shores at Lake Whippoorwill sometimes show up as Lake Barton or La Shore?
Lake Barton and La Shore were earlier development names used before Toll Brothers took the project over. They still surface occasionally in listing records and public data, so a search on either name can turn up the same 14 homes.
Who is Shores at Lake Whippoorwill a good fit for?
It suits a buyer who wants a large, newer estate home on a generous homesite, no CDD assessment, and a very small neighborhood with little through traffic. It is a poor fit for anyone who wants community amenities, a gate, or lake access without owning one of the four lakefront homes, and for anyone who needs to buy on a schedule, because 14 homes produce very little turnover.
