Quick Summary: Waters Edge at a Glance
Waters Edge is a gated access neighborhood inside Northlake Park in the north area of Lake Nona. Residents use both the Northlake Park amenities — the Lake Nona YMCA, nature trails, pool access, tennis and basketball courts, a baseball field and the parks — and a private, resident only amenity set that includes a resort style pool, tennis court, half basketball court, multi use sports fields and playgrounds.
The main reason people buy here is the water — and that means Lake Nona itself, the private ski lake the whole community takes its name from, not just the district. Waters Edge has resident only boat ramp access to it through a waterfront park with a fishing pier and picnic area, plus a private gated boat storage lot inside the neighborhood. The neighborhood totals 461 homes — 171 townhomes, 279 single family homes and 11 lakefront estate homes — built between 2007 and 2015.
- 461 Homes
- Gated Access
- Lakefront on Lake Nona
- Resident Boat Ramp and Fishing Pier
- Northlake Park and YMCA Access
- Two HOAs
- No CDD
- ZIP 32827
Residents of Waters Edge get two things at one address. On one hand, you get the benefits of living in Lake Nona's Northlake Park, including the YMCA and the community elementary school. On the other, you live behind a gate inside Northlake Park, in a neighborhood with its own private amenities that only Waters Edge residents may use.
The draw is direct access to Lake Nona itself — the lake, not the district. Lake Nona is a private ski lake, and it is the body of water the entire Lake Nona area was named after. There is no public boat ramp on it. Waters Edge is the only other residential neighborhood on Lake Nona besides the Lake Nona Golf & Country Club, and those two are the only neighborhoods whose residents can launch a boat on it.

What Amenities Do Residents Get?
Waters Edge residents use two separate amenity sets: everything Northlake Park offers, plus a private set reserved for Waters Edge addresses only.
The Northlake Park side gives you the Lake Nona YMCA, nature trails, pool access, tennis and basketball courts, a baseball field, and the parks, including the dog park and the playgrounds. That access comes with the Northlake Park master association, so it is not a separate membership you shop for.
The private Waters Edge side is resident only and sits inside the gates: a resort style pool, a tennis court, a half basketball court, multi use sports fields and playgrounds. One thing neither side has is a clubhouse, and there is no golf course in Northlake Park or Waters Edge.
The amenity people actually move here for is the lake — Lake Nona itself, the private ski lake the community was named after, not the district that borrowed the name. Residents have a waterfront park with a boat ramp, fishing pier and picnic area, and the ramp is resident only. There is also a private, gated boat storage lot inside the neighborhood, reserved for Waters Edge residents only; additional fees may apply, so ask before you assume a space comes with the house. See how Waters Edge compares to other Lake Nona area neighborhood amenities.
Where is Waters Edge and What's Nearby?
Waters Edge sits at the back of Northlake Park in the north area of Lake Nona, in Orlando's 32827 ZIP code, with Lake Nona itself along its south side.
There are two ways in and out. The main entrance is from within Northlake Park and may be used by both residents and guests. A second, resident only access point is on Dowden Road. Both roads connect to Narcoossee Road, and the neighborhood is a couple of miles from either the 528 Beachline or the 417 Greenway.
Your neighbors are the Orlando International Airport to the west, the Lake Nona Golf and Country Club and Northlake Park to the east, Lake Nona itself to the south, and McCoy Community Park and undeveloped land to the north.
Shops, services and dining are close in. Lake Nona Village is at the front of Northlake Park, and Nona Park includes the Nona Park Montessori School. The closest Publix is about a mile away at Cornerstone at Lake Hart.
Assigned schools are Northlake Park Community School, which sits in the heart of Northlake Park, Lake Nona Middle School and Lake Nona High School. Assignments are set by Orange County Public Schools and can change, so confirm current zoning with OCPS for the specific address you are considering.
What Are the Homes Like?
Waters Edge has 461 homes in three distinct products: 171 townhomes, 279 single family homes, and 11 custom estate homes on the lakefront.
Two production builders worked here. Park Square Homes built both the townhomes and single family homes. Ryland Homes, since acquired by Lennar, built single family homes only. The 11 estate homes fronting Lake Nona were each built by custom home builders, among them Justice and Wood Builders. Neither production builder is active here now — the neighborhood finished in 2015, so everything for sale is resale.
Sizes vary widely by product. Townhomes run approximately 1,300 to 1,600 square feet, 3 or 4 bedrooms, 2 story, with 1 car garages. Single family homes run approximately 1,800 to 4,400 square feet, 3 to 6 bedrooms, in both 1 and 2 story plans, with 2 to 3 car garages. The lakefront estate homes run approximately 5,000 to 7,000 square feet, 4 to 6 bedrooms, with 3 to 4 car garages. Lots follow the same spread, from about 0.05 acres at the townhome end to about 0.55 acres on the lakefront. Homes here feature front porches and colonial style windows.
What Does It Cost to Own Here?
Waters Edge has no CDD, but it does have two homeowner associations rather than one.
Two associations, one address. Owners pay a Northlake Park master association, which covers the Northlake Park amenities including YMCA access, and a separate Waters Edge association, which covers the gates and the private amenities reserved for Waters Edge residents. Budget for both, not one.
No CDD. There is no Community Development District assessment on the Waters Edge tax bill. Many Lake Nona neighborhoods do carry one, so this is a real difference when you compare two homes at the same asking price — see how Lake Nona CDD fees work.
Amounts change. Association dues vary by home type and are revised over time, so figures published anywhere online go stale. Call/Text David Myers at 407.801.3286 for the current numbers on a specific home.
Who is Waters Edge a Good Fit For?
Waters Edge suits a boater who wants a gate and two amenity sets without a CDD on the tax bill — and does not suit anyone shopping new construction.
Waters Edge is a good fit if
- You own a boat. Resident only ramp access to Lake Nona itself, plus a gated storage lot inside the gates, is the whole argument for this neighborhood, and only one other place in Lake Nona has it — Lake Nona Golf & Country Club, at a very different price.
- You want a gate without a guardhouse cost. Both entries are code or transponder operated rather than staffed.
- You want amenity depth without a CDD. Two amenity sets, no district assessment on the tax bill.
- You want a range of price points in one neighborhood. Townhomes, single family and lakefront estates sit behind the same gate, which is unusual.
- You want a walkable elementary school. Northlake Park Community School is inside Northlake Park.
Look elsewhere if
- You want new construction. Waters Edge finished building in 2015 and everything here is resale. For new homes with similar amenity depth, look at Summerdale Park or Storey Park.
- You are sensitive to aircraft noise. Orlando International Airport is immediately west. If that is a concern, neighborhoods further east such as Eagle Creek or Isles of Lake Nona put more distance between you and the runways.
- You want a clubhouse or golf. Neither Waters Edge nor Northlake Park has a clubhouse, and there is no course. Eagle Creek has both.
- You want a single HOA bill. Two associations means two sets of dues and two sets of rules. Northlake Park outside the Waters Edge gates carries the master association only.
- You want a large lot. Outside the 11 lakefront estates, lots here are modest. Live Oak Estates and Lake Whippoorwill-Hart are where the acreage is.
Thinking about buying or selling in Waters Edge? Inventory here is small and the lakefront homes rarely come up, so knowing what has actually sold matters more than what is listed. Call/Text David Myers at 407.801.3286, or send a message and I will get back to you.
Waters Edge: Frequently Asked Questions
Is Waters Edge a gated community?
Yes. Waters Edge is a gated access neighborhood located within Northlake Park, and it has its own set of private, resident only amenities in addition to the Northlake Park amenities. Both gates are unmanned and open by resident code or transponder rather than by a staffed guardhouse.
Does Waters Edge have access to Lake Nona?
Yes, and this means the actual lake, not just the district that shares its name. Lake Nona is the private ski lake the whole community was named after. Residents have a waterfront park with a boat ramp, fishing pier and picnic area, plus a private gated boat storage lot inside the neighborhood. The ramp is resident only and there is no public access. Waters Edge and the Lake Nona Golf & Country Club are the only two neighborhoods whose residents can launch a boat on it.
Is there boat storage in Waters Edge?
Yes. There is a private, gated boat storage lot inside the neighborhood, for Waters Edge residents only. Additional fees may apply and space is not unlimited, so call or text David Myers at 407.801.3286 before you buy if boat storage is part of why you are looking here.
What amenities do Waters Edge residents have?
Residents have access to both the Northlake Park amenities and the private Waters Edge amenities. Northlake Park includes the Lake Nona YMCA, nature trails, pool access, tennis and basketball courts, a baseball field, and the parks, dog park and playgrounds. The private Waters Edge amenities include gated access, a resort style pool, a tennis court, a half basketball court, multi use sports fields and playgrounds. Neither Northlake Park nor Waters Edge has a clubhouse, and there is no golf course.
Does Waters Edge have a CDD?
No. Waters Edge does not have a CDD (Community Development District), so there is no CDD assessment added to the annual property tax bill. That is a cost difference against many other Lake Nona neighborhoods, which do carry one.
Does Waters Edge have an HOA?
Yes, and there are two. Owners pay a Northlake Park master association covering the Northlake Park amenities, and a separate Waters Edge association covering the private amenities reserved for Waters Edge residents. Amounts vary by home type and change over time, so call or text David Myers for the current figures on a specific home.

Who is Waters Edge a good fit for, and who should look elsewhere?
Waters Edge fits buyers who want boat ramp access to a private ski lake, a gated entry, and two amenity sets for one address, without a CDD assessment on the tax bill. Look elsewhere if you want new construction, since the neighborhood finished building in 2015; if you are sensitive to aircraft noise, because Orlando International Airport sits immediately west; or if you want a clubhouse or golf, neither of which Waters Edge or Northlake Park has.
