New construction coming to St. Cloud, FL
Ivey Groves
A new D.R. Horton community east of Lake Tohopekaliga in Osceola County
Ivey Groves is an approved D.R. Horton community in St. Cloud, FL. The concept plan cleared Osceola County review in September 2025 and calls for about 140 homes on roughly 29.83 acres, split between 96 single-family detached homes and 44 attached homes. Pricing, floor plans, and a model-home date have not been released, and D.R. Horton has not published a page for it. We found this one in the county record, and the interest list is where the details land first.

About the plan
An approved D.R. Horton community in St. Cloud, FL
Ivey Groves is a D.R. Horton community approved for roughly 29.83 acres on the east side of Lake Tohopekaliga in St. Cloud. The concept plan calls for about 140 homes: 96 single-family detached and 44 attached. It sits inside the WP-3 Neighborhood of Osceola County's East of Lake Toho Conceptual Master Plan, the long-range framework guiding how this side of the lake gets built out.
That mix tells you something about who the community is for. A roughly two-thirds to one-third split between detached and attached homes usually means more than one price point inside the same neighborhood, which tends to draw first-time buyers and downsizers alongside move-up families rather than a single narrow band.
It is worth being clear about the stage. This cleared concept-plan review, which is an early milestone, and still has platting and permitting ahead of it before a model home opens. D.R. Horton has not named a floor-plan series, released a price sheet, or announced a sales date. Everything on this page marked not yet released is genuinely not released, not withheld.
Location and lifestyle
A Turnpike exit on your own road, and Lake Toho out the back
Kissimmee Park Road, which forms this site's north boundary, is Exit 240 on Florida's Turnpike. That is unusual and worth pausing on. Most new communities in this part of Osceola County measure highway access in miles down a two-lane road; this one measures it in minutes on a road it already fronts. From the St. Cloud area that puts Lake Nona and Medical City around 12 miles out, Orlando International Airport around 18 miles, and Walt Disney World around 25 miles, with downtown St. Cloud about five minutes away.
One thing a buyer should know now rather than later: Florida's Turnpike plans to replace the Kissimmee Park Road interchange with a new interchange at Nolte Road, projected to open in August 2028. That will change how traffic reaches this area. It is not a reason to walk away, but it is the kind of detail that belongs in front of you before you sign, not after.
Then there is the lake. Lake Tohopekaliga runs 18,810 acres and is one of the better-known trophy largemouth bass fisheries in the country. Florida's TrophyCatch program has documented 513 bass in the eight to ten pound range on Toho alone, plus 89 over ten pounds. Public access is close: Whaleys Landing Ramp at 3700 Lake Tohopekaliga Road is a county boat ramp sitting on the same road that forms this community's eastern boundary.
A clarification, because listings in this area get it wrong constantly: St. Cloud's Lakefront Park, with the beach, marina, splash pad, and the paved path along Lakeshore Boulevard, is on East Lake Tohopekaliga, a separate lake connected to Toho by the three-mile St. Cloud Canal. Ivey Groves is on Lake Toho proper. Both are close by; they are not the same water. For day-to-day, the nearest full grocery options are the Publix at 4401 13th Street, the Publix on North Canoe Creek Road, and the Walmart Neighborhood Market on Nolte Road.
On schools, Osceola County is a single countywide district and attendance zones inside it decide the assignment. We are deliberately not naming one: the district approved a districtwide rezoning for the 2026/27 school year in June 2026 and opened a new high school, so zones in this part of St. Cloud have moved recently, and this community has no addresses yet to run through the district's lookup. That answer goes on this page once it can be confirmed.
Market context
What new construction costs in St. Cloud
Ivey Groves has no price yet, but the market it will price into is knowable, and that gives you a realistic bracket to plan against. Osceola County's median listing price was $413,950 in July 2026, drifting slightly down across the spring from $420,000 in March. This is not a market running away from buyers right now.
Advertised starting prices across St. Cloud communities in August 2026 ran roughly $310,000 for townhomes, $330,000 to $346,000 for entry-level single-family, $380,000 to $444,000 in the middle, and $482,000 and up at the top, with 55+ communities starting near $293,000. For a sense of the direct competition: Preston Cove by D.R. Horton started at $319,990, Harmony West at $324,990, Buena Lago at $372,990, Lennar's Waterlin at $381,499, and Ashton Woods' Weslyn Park at $482,490. Those are advertised starting figures as of August 2026 and they move; the base price is rarely the house you tour once lot premiums and design-center selections are in.
Two Florida-specific costs deserve attention before you budget. The first is the CDD. Most Central Florida new construction is financed through a Community Development District and the assessment lands on your annual tax bill on top of HOA dues. Gramercy Farms CDD, here in St. Cloud, adopted roughly $1,392 a year for a townhome and $2,087 for a 60-foot single-family lot; Stoneybrook South CDD runs to about $2,816 on an 80-foot lot. Whether Ivey Groves has one has not been disclosed.
The second is which taxing jurisdiction the parcel sits in. Osceola County's 2025 final millage was 13.8543 mills in unincorporated county and 17.8989 mills inside St. Cloud city limits. That gap is about four mills, which is real money on a $400,000 house, and we have not yet confirmed which side of the line this parcel falls on. It is on the list to verify with the Property Appraiser, and it goes to the interest list when we have it. Florida has no state income tax, which is often what brings relocating buyers to run these numbers in the first place.
One last piece of context on how D.R. Horton tends to operate. Every D.R. Horton home includes their Home Is Connected smart-home package, and the company owns both its lender, DHI Mortgage, and its title companies. Practically, that means their incentives are usually structured so part of the closing-cost credit is available with any lender and a further portion only if you finance through DHI. That is not a reason to avoid it. It is a reason to get a competing quote and compare the whole package, rate included, rather than the headline credit alone.
What you need to know
Buying new construction, the smart way
Whatever the pricing turns out to be at Ivey Groves, the same rule applies: the person at the model's sales desk works for the builder, not for you. They are usually helpful and usually honest, and they still represent the seller's side of the transaction. You are allowed, and smart, to have your own representation, and in almost every case it costs you nothing, because the builder budgets a cooperating commission into the deal whether you bring an agent or not.
The catch is timing. Most builders require your agent to register you on your first visit. Tour or sign in alone and bring an agent later, and the builder can refuse to recognize them, and you lose your representation for that community. So get connected before you tour, have your agent register you, and let them read the contract, the addenda, and, in Florida, the CDD disclosure, so you know exactly what you are signing.
Two more things worth reading closely on a D.R. Horton contract: what is included versus what is an upgrade, because the model home you toured is rarely the base house, and the lender incentive, because a credit tied to using the builder's affiliated lender can be real value or can be priced back into the rate. A competing quote settles it in an afternoon.

Questions and answers
Ivey Groves FAQ
What is Ivey Groves?
Ivey Groves is an approved D.R. Horton community in St. Cloud, FL, on the east side of Lake Tohopekaliga in Osceola County. The concept plan cleared county review in September 2025 and calls for about 140 homes on roughly 29.83 acres: 96 single-family detached homes and 44 attached homes. It sits inside the WP-3 Neighborhood of the county's East of Lake Toho Conceptual Master Plan.
Who is building Ivey Groves?
D.R. Horton. The concept plan application, CP24-00003, was filed with Osceola County by John Valantasis on behalf of D.R. Horton. Subdiview is not affiliated with D.R. Horton and this page is not sponsored or endorsed by them; the builder is stated here as a matter of public record.
How much will homes at Ivey Groves cost?
Pricing has not been released, and quoting a number today would be speculation. For context, advertised starting prices across St. Cloud new-construction communities in August 2026 ran from roughly $310,000 for townhomes to the mid $500,000s at the upper end, and Osceola County's median listing price was $413,950 in July 2026. Verified pricing for this community goes on this page the day it is public.
When will homes at Ivey Groves be available?
No model-home or sales date has been announced. The community cleared concept-plan review in September 2025 and still has platting and permitting ahead of it, so treat any date you see elsewhere as a target rather than a commitment. Join the interest list and you will hear the moment a real date exists.
What is the East of Lake Toho master plan?
It is a long-range Osceola County framework guiding how the land east of Lake Tohopekaliga develops: where neighborhoods, roads, and open space go. Ivey Groves sits in its WP-3 Neighborhood. The plan is why several communities in this part of St. Cloud are moving through county approvals at the same time.
Will there be a CDD at Ivey Groves?
It has not been disclosed. Most Central Florida new construction is financed through a Community Development District, and the assessment lands on your annual tax bill on top of HOA dues. For scale, Gramercy Farms CDD here in St. Cloud adopted about $1,392 a year for townhomes and $2,087 for a 60-foot single-family lot, while Stoneybrook South CDD runs to roughly $2,816 on an 80-foot lot. Do not assume Ivey Groves will match either; this is one of the first things to confirm when details are released.
How is the commute from Ivey Groves?
Unusually good for this part of the county. Kissimmee Park Road, which forms the site's north boundary, is Exit 240 on Florida's Turnpike, so highway access is on a road the community already fronts. Worth knowing before you buy: the Turnpike plans to replace the Kissimmee Park Road interchange with a new interchange at Nolte Road, projected to open in August 2028, which will change how traffic reaches this area.
What schools will serve Ivey Groves?
Osceola County is a single countywide district, and attendance zones within it decide your schools. We are not naming one for Ivey Groves, and you should be skeptical of any site that does: the district approved a districtwide rezoning for the 2026/27 school year on June 23, 2026 and opened a new high school, so assignments in this part of St. Cloud have moved recently. Verify a specific address in the district's BusPlanner lookup or with District Planning Services. Because this community has no addresses yet, it cannot be locked in until platting.
Should I have a buyer's agent before visiting the sales office?
If you want representation, yes, and arrange it before your first visit. The salesperson in a builder's model home works for the builder, not for you. Most builders require a buyer's agent to register or accompany you on that first visit for representation to apply, and once you have signed in unrepresented it is generally too late for that community.
How do I get updates on Ivey Groves?
Join the interest list on this page. We track this community through Osceola County's public records, so we typically see plat approvals, permits, and builder filings before the community is marketed anywhere. There is no cost and no obligation.
