Somerset Park is a gated neighborhood on the west side of Lake Nona. It sits on Lake Nona Boulevard in ZIP code 32824, west of State Road 417, with Lake Nona Medical City roughly three miles east along the same road. Homes are traditional in style, and many back to water or conservation views.

Is Somerset Park Actually in Lake Nona?

Yes by development and address, no by school zone — and that split is the single most important thing to understand before you buy here.

The case for Lake Nona is stronger than the map suggests. Somerset Park was developed by Greeneway Somerset Park, LLC, a Tavistock affiliate operating out of Tavistock’s Lake Nona Road offices, and Lake Nona’s own developer lists Somerset Park among its neighborhoods. Century Homes, one of the two builders here, was Tavistock’s in-house homebuilder until it was sold to Dream Finders Homes in January 2021. The address is Lake Nona Boulevard. This is not a neighborhood that borrowed the name.

The case against is just as concrete. Somerset Park sits south of State Road 417 and west of Boggy Creek Road in ZIP code 32824, inside the Meadow Woods area rather than the eastern Lake Nona core, and it is not zoned for any of the Lake Nona schools. It was also platted under a separate development order from the one that governs the Lake Nona neighborhoods east of the expressway, which is the underlying reason the school and ZIP boundaries fall where they do. If you want the full picture of how the community is bounded, see where Lake Nona is.

The practical read: buyers who want a Lake Nona address, Lake Nona Boulevard retail and a gated street should look here seriously. Buyers whose whole reason for choosing Lake Nona is the school assignments should not.

What Amenities Do Residents Get?

Somerset Park offers gated entry, a neighborhood pool and three park areas — a modest amenity package by Lake Nona standards, with no clubhouse and no fitness center.

The Somerset Park neighborhood features gated entry, a palm tree shaded neighborhood pool, and three separate park areas. Two of the parks feature playgrounds while the third offers a waterfront sand volleyball court. There is no clubhouse and no fitness center, which is worth weighing if you are comparing against the larger amenity-driven neighborhoods.

One detail that surprises buyers: several home sites back to ponds, but the recorded covenants prohibit boating, swimming and fishing on the neighborhood’s lakes and retention ponds. The water is a view, not something you use. If access to water matters, look at the neighborhood parks in the wider area instead.

Where is Somerset Park & What’s Nearby?

Somerset Park sits on Lake Nona Boulevard west of State Road 417, with grocery, retail and the airport all within a few miles.

Somerset Park is west of Medical City and south of State Road 417, connected to it by Lake Nona Boulevard. Medical City is roughly three miles east along the same road. The Florida Turnpike is a few miles west by way of the 417, which gives residents a straightforward run north or south.

Everyday shopping is close, and it got closer. The Lake Nona Creekside plaza, anchored by a Publix grocery store, is about a mile east on Lake Nona Boulevard. Lake Nona West, the open-air lifestyle center anchored by Target, is roughly a mile and a half east on the same road — putting Somerset Park closer to it than most of the neighborhoods east of the expressway. More on the area’s shopping.

Air travel and recreation. Orlando International Airport is about six miles away by way of Boggy Creek Road. Nearby recreation includes the aquatic Nona Adventure Park and Boxi Park, both in the Lake Nona Town Center area east of the neighborhood.

Schools are the exception to the convenience story. Somerset Park is assigned to Stonewyck Elementary, South Creek Middle and Cypress Creek High School — none of which are Lake Nona area schools. Assignments are set by Orange County Public Schools and can change, so confirm zoning for a specific address with OCPS before you commit.

What Are the Homes Like?

Somerset Park is fully built out, with roughly 325 single-family homes from 1,688 to 3,900 sq ft in both one-story and two-story plans.

Two builders worked here. M/I Homes and Century Homes built Somerset Park between 2015 and 2019. Century Homes Florida was Tavistock’s in-house builder and was acquired by Dream Finders Homes in January 2021, after Somerset Park was complete, so the Century name no longer appears on new construction. Neither builder is active in the neighborhood today. For background on who built what across the wider community, see the Lake Nona home builders guide.

Sizes, lots and construction. Homes range from approximately 1,688 to 3,900 sq ft and from three to six bedrooms, with both one-story and two-story plans — a point worth knowing, since the neighborhood was originally marketed on its two-story collections and single-level buyers often skip it. Home sites run roughly 0.13 to 0.28 acres on 50-foot and 60-foot wide lots, and many back to water or conservation. Architectural styles range from traditional to craftsman to Mediterranean, and construction is mainly block and stucco with shingle roofs. Every home has a two- or three-car garage; carports are not permitted.

What Does It Cost to Own Here?

Somerset Park has a mandatory HOA and no CDD — but because the streets are private, the association carries obligations that a public-street neighborhood does not.

The private-street obligation is the part most buyers miss. Because Somerset Park is a gated community, Orange County is prohibited from maintaining the roads, sidewalks and drainage inside the gates, and may not remove storm debris there. The homeowners association is responsible for all of it, must have the infrastructure inspected by a professional engineer, and must keep funded reserve accounts for street repair, drainage pond repair, other infrastructure and storm debris removal. Florida law provides no property tax reduction to offset any of this.

This is not a warning — it is how every gated community in Orange County works, and the trade is a controlled entry and a quieter street. But it means a Somerset Park assessment is doing more work than an assessment in an ungated neighborhood with county-maintained roads, and the two are not comparable dollar for dollar. Utilities are public water and sewer.

Who is Somerset Park a Good Fit For?

Somerset Park fits buyers who want a gated address and no CDD more than it fits buyers chasing Lake Nona schools or a resort amenity package.
