About the community

County development review records describe sixty-seven single-family lots on roughly twenty-three acres, approved through a third round of plan review in the late summer of 2026. That is a small community by central Florida standards, and that is worth saying plainly because it changes what living there is like. There is no two-thousand-home master plan here, no decade of phases opening behind you, no clubhouse with a lazy river. Sixty-seven houses on two streets is a neighbourhood you will know the whole of within a year, finished more or less all at once, with a build-out measured in a couple of years rather than ten.

The two streets are already named in county records: Everly Street and Underland Street, running off Ondich Road. The name is not a marketing invention. Everly is the surname of the family that owned and sold the land, which is a small thing but a true one, and it is the sort of detail that disappears the moment a marketing team gets hold of a community. The ground itself was a foliage nursery until recently, which is about as Apopka as a parcel can be, given the city has spent a century calling itself the indoor foliage capital of the world.

KB Home has been publicly identified as the homebuilder and now holds title to the land. The subdivision was permitted by a separate land development company rather than under the builder's own brand, which is ordinary practice and worth understanding: a developer buys the farm, gets the approvals, cuts the roads and the drainage, and then a homebuilder takes the finished lots and sells houses on them. It also means the public record for this project does not carry the builder's marketing name at all, which is why it stayed quiet for so long. The builder currently shows seven floor plans for the community, from about 1,856 to 3,016 square feet, and not one of them carries a price.

Two things about the land itself are worth knowing before you buy on it. The site was a working foliage nursery, and the greenhouse structures that stood on it came off the county tax roll in the year before the sale, which is consistent with the nursery being cleared ahead of the development rather than long abandoned. A small manufactured home from the late nineteen-nineties still shows on the parcel record as the only standing structure. Neither is unusual for a nursery conversion in this part of Apopka, and neither is a concern on its face, but if you want to know what was stored or applied on a piece of former agricultural ground, that is a fair question to put in writing to the builder before you sign rather than after.

Location and what is actually nearby

Ondich Road sits in the northern part of Apopka, in the band of old nursery and grove land between the city proper and the Lake County line. The single biggest fact about the location is the road you cannot see from the lot but will hear: the SR 429 Wekiva Parkway mainline runs within about seven hundred and fifty feet of the property, with an interchange closer still. For a commuter that is close to ideal. The Parkway completed the beltway around Orlando's north-west side, and from an on-ramp this close you can reach Mount Dora, Sanford, Ocoee, Winter Garden and the airport corridor without ever touching a traffic light in Apopka itself.

Downtown Apopka is a few minutes south, and it has been quietly getting better for a decade: a real main street, the amphitheatre and events at the city centre, the farm and garden shops that come with being a nursery town. US 441 is the older commercial spine, where the supermarkets, the hospital campus and the everyday retail are. Go the other way and the land opens up fast. Wekiwa Springs State Park is a short drive east, with its spring run and its paddling; Kelly Park and Rock Springs, where the whole county goes tubing down a natural lazy river on a hot Saturday, is north-east of here. The West Orange Trail is close enough to ride to, and Lake Apopka's north shore restoration area has become one of the best birding drives in Florida, an eleven-mile wildlife drive through what was farmland a generation ago.

Be honest about the trade, though. Ondich Road today is two lanes of twenty-foot county asphalt with pasture and nursery on either side. It is pretty and it is quiet and it is not built for sixty-seven more households, let alone the other projects moving in this corridor. That is the deal when you buy early in a place that is changing: you get the quiet now and the widening later, and the widening is what makes the quiet end.

What it will cost beyond the mortgage

This is the part of a new-construction decision that sales offices handle last and buyers discover first, so here it is up front, sourced and dated.

Property tax. The certified rate on this parcel for the 2026 tax year is about 16.0 mills, roughly sixteen dollars for every thousand dollars of taxable value. It includes a City of Apopka line, because this parcel is inside the city limits even though land directly across the road is not. That is not a quirk you can ignore: it is a genuine annexed island, and the municipal line is a real part of the bill. Florida's homestead exemption, which is set statewide by Florida law and the state constitution rather than by any county, shelters 51,411 dollars of assessed value on a primary residence.

Community development district fees, and why this one has none. In much of Florida a new subdivision comes with a district assessment on top of property tax, repaying the bonds that paid for the roads and pipes, and it can run well over a thousand dollars a year for decades. Everly Estates does not have one. The certified non-ad-valorem assessment roll for this parcel carries exactly one line, a city stormwater charge of about a hundred and twelve dollars. We checked this the only way it can be checked, on the certified assessment roll, because a district assessment never appears in a property's tax code and you cannot infer its absence from one. For contrast, and this is checked at parcel level rather than assumed: a home in one of the newer communities less than a mile away carries about 2,300 dollars of non-ad-valorem assessments, of which roughly 2,100 is its district. Another district sits under a mile off in the other direction. Here the neighbours really do pay, and this parcel does not. One caveat, stated honestly: the land is still a single undivided parcel, so this reflects the ground and not a finished lot, and Florida subdivisions routinely pick up a small street-lighting assessment when they plat.

Insurance. Inland Orange County is one of the cheaper parts of Florida to insure, which is a real and underrated benefit of buying thirty-five miles from salt water. The state insurance regulator put the average Orange County homeowners premium including wind at about 3,610 dollars, on data as of the end of March 2026. For scale, the same report puts Monroe County at about 7,863 and Pinellas at about 4,063, while Sumter came in near 2,105. Treat a county average as a rough bearing and not a quote: a new build with a current-code roof and a wind mitigation report usually prices better than the average of the housing stock around it.

Flood. The parcel is mapped entirely outside the special flood hazard area on the current effective county flood map, which took effect in the autumn of 2021. We tested that against the whole parcel outline rather than a single point, and we checked that the map layer was actually answering by confirming it returns seventeen mapped high-hazard areas within about two miles. So the negative is a real negative, not a gap in the data. Lenders do not require flood insurance outside the special flood hazard area. Plenty of people near central Florida lakes carry it anyway, and at the preferred rates that apply outside the hazard area it is usually inexpensive.

Flood claim history, in context. Two numbers that are easy to confuse and worth separating. Counting every federal flood insurance claim ever filed in Orange County, the single month of September 2022 accounts for about 38.1 percent of them. Counting by calendar year, 2022 as a whole accounts for about 40.0 percent. Those are different measures of the same storm and we label them separately rather than blending them. Locally, the postal area around this site has recorded fourteen claims since 1978, the most recent in the autumn of 2024, and several of those were on properties rated outside the hazard area. For the current year, none have been recorded through the data freeze. The honest reading is that this is dry ground in a county whose flood losses come from a handful of named storms rather than from routine rain.

Tolls, which nobody puts on a brochure. Having the Parkway at the end of the street is only cheap if you never drive on it. On the toll schedule that took effect in July 2026, a daily round trip from here toward downtown Orlando across the usual plaza sequence runs in the region of 215 dollars a month with a transponder, and roughly double that if you are billed by licence plate. Those rates are indexed and step up annually. If you are weighing this community against one closer to a free arterial, that is the number to put in the comparison, and it is worth more than the granite upgrade you are agonising over.

Water, sewer and power. Central city water and sewer, not well and septic. A lift station has already been addressed on the property, which is the clearest possible sign of a sewered subdivision, and there is no well permit on this parcel although neighbouring properties have them. That matters more than it sounds in this part of Apopka, where plenty of older homes nearby are still on wells and septic tanks.

What new construction near here is actually selling for

Everly Estates has no price, so the only useful guidance is what the builders around it are asking right now. All of the following were published by the builders themselves and are accurate as of late October 2026, and none of them is a prediction about this community. Treat them as the band the market is trading in, not as a forecast.

The same builder's other open Apopka community was advertising a starting price in the high four hundreds. A community less than a mile from Ondich Road, from a different national builder, was starting above five hundred thousand. Two others in the wider north-west Orange and south Lake band were starting in the low to middle three hundreds, on smaller plans. That spread is wide because it is really a spread of lot sizes and plan sizes rather than of locations, and it is the single most useful thing to understand before you walk into any model: in this corridor the number on the sign is a function of how much square footage and how much lot you are buying, far more than of which brand is selling it.

Where this community sits in that band is genuinely unknown, and anyone who tells you otherwise is guessing. What can be said is that the plan range the builder has published for it, roughly 1,856 to 3,016 square feet, is a mainstream family product rather than an entry-level or a luxury one, and that the absence of a district assessment here is worth real money against a comparable house a mile away that carries one. On a thirty-year horizon, a district assessment of two thousand dollars a year is not a rounding error against a list price. It is worth more than most of the upgrade packages you will be shown.

One more piece of context about buying early. On a community of sixty-seven homes the first release of homesites is usually small, often a dozen or two, and it is where the lots that back onto something other than another house tend to be. Those go to the people who were ready before the model opened. That is the whole practical reason to be on a list this early rather than finding the community on a portal six months from now.

Schools

Orange County Public Schools serves the entire county, so the district is not in question. The attendance zones are, and we would rather tell you that than guess. Zones are assigned by address, this subdivision has only just been issued addresses, and the streets do not physically exist yet. Naming an elementary school for a house that cannot be found on a map is the single most damaging thing a page like this can get wrong, so we will not do it. Once your lot has a real address, run it through the district's own school locator, and if you are buying for a specific school, make that a written condition rather than a conversation.

Buying new construction with someone on your side

The person at the sales desk in a builder's model home works for the builder. They are often genuinely helpful and genuinely pleasant, and they are also paid to represent the party on the other side of your contract. You are entitled to your own representation, and on new construction it generally costs you nothing extra, because builders budget for a buyer's agent whether or not you bring one.

The part that catches people is the timing. Most builders will only recognise your agent if that agent is named from your very first visit or registration. Walk into the model alone on a Saturday, give your details at the desk, and in many cases you have given away the right to be represented for the rest of the transaction. If you think you might want someone reading the contract, pricing the upgrades honestly, and pushing for the incentives and closing-cost credits that are genuinely available, get that arranged before you tour, not after.

A pre-construction contract is also not a resale contract. The deposit structure, the specification allowances, what happens if the schedule slips, what the warranty actually covers and for how long, and whether the price is locked are all negotiable and all worth reading closely. On a community this early, the first release of homesites is usually where the best lots and the keenest terms sit, and that is decided long before the model home opens.

Communities it is easy to confuse

A few warnings, because the Apopka search results are messy. There is an Everly Estates in Texas that has nothing to do with this one. One national listing aggregator has a page that uses an Everly-style address but serves another community's homes and prices entirely, from a different builder. And at least one aggregator prints the same single price against two plans of very different size in this community, which tells you it is generated text rather than released pricing. Within a mile or so of here there are genuinely different new communities from other builders, some already selling with published prices, and some carrying district assessments this one does not. If you are comparing, compare the assessments and the tax line as carefully as the square footage.
