About Windermere Trails

Windermere · Orange County, Florida

Windermere Trails is a new construction HOA community in Windermere by Meritage Homes offering mid-range homes, currently selling. Family community with trails, pool and HOA near Windermere.

Meritage Homes builds every home to ENERGY STAR certification — and the M.Connected Home® automation package is standard, not an upgrade. Meritage's focus on spray foam insulation, efficient HVAC systems, and low-E windows delivers meaningful operating cost savings over the life of the home. Utility savings can offset a portion of the monthly payment when modeled at full ownership cost.

Location context: Orange County is served by I-4, SR-408, SR-417, SR-528, and Florida's Turnpike. Lake Nona's Medical City is accessible via SR-417/528.

Builder Incentives & Current Offerings

Builder incentives — including rate buydowns, closing cost assistance, and design studio credits — vary by phase and market conditions. A specialist familiar with Meritage Homes's current Orange County programs can confirm what's available before your first visit to the sales office.
