Sunbridge: Central Florida's Newest Master-Planned Community

What is Sunbridge?

Sunbridge is one of the largest master-planned communities under development in Central Florida. Located primarily in Osceola County, approximately 25 miles southeast of downtown Orlando, the master plan spans roughly 27,000 acres across the Orange and Osceola county line, with more than 13,000 acres preserved as green space. It is planned to include thousands of homes, a town center, schools, parks, commercial space, and a network of trails. The community sits just south of Lake Nona and east of St. Cloud, positioning it well for access to Orlando's major employment centers.

First homes began selling in the early 2020s, and Sunbridge is still in its early phases. That means early buyers can choose from premium lots and home designs, but many planned amenities are still under development.

Location and Accessibility

Sunbridge is located in southeastern Osceola County, east of St. Cloud and south of the Lake Nona area. Access is via Narcoossee Road (County Road 15) and the new Sunbridge Parkway. Commute estimates:

• About 10 minutes to Lake Nona Medical City
• About 25 to 30 minutes to Orlando International Airport (MCO)
• About 30 to 40 minutes to downtown Orlando
• About 15 minutes to the St. Cloud lakefront
• About 35 to 45 minutes to Walt Disney World

Narcoossee Road carries significant traffic during peak hours. The Sunbridge Parkway connector is designed to improve access as the community grows.

Builders Active in Sunbridge

Sunbridge builds out by neighborhood, and the active builder lineup depends on which neighborhood and phase is selling. As of 2026, the two open residential areas are:

• Del Webb Sunbridge (active adult, 55+) -- Gated community by Pulte Group's Del Webb brand at Citrus Grove Court.
• Weslyn Park (family homes) -- Off Cyrils Drive, with builders including ICI Homes, Ashton Woods, David Weekley Homes, Craft Homes, Pulte Homes, and Toll Brothers. Tri Pointe Homes and the luxury builder Perry Homes joined the lineup in 2026. See the Weslyn Park community guide.

On the Orange County side of the development, Taylor Morrison broke ground in May 2026 on Heron Bay, the first Orlando-side neighborhood, a 526-home community of 16 floor plans with sales expected to open later in 2026. Toll Brothers and Pulte are planning additional subdivisions in the Orlando portion. Earlier marketing described a 10-builder menu across the master plan; builders arrive and sell as each phase opens, so the mix today is concentrated in the two open neighborhoods.

Price Ranges

Sunbridge's price picture is set by the neighborhood and phase selling today. Ranges reported in 2026:

• Del Webb Sunbridge (active adult): From roughly $318,990 up to about $641,890. Homes run about 1,400 to 3,450 square feet with 2 to 4 bedrooms.
• Weslyn Park single-family: Roughly $480,000 to $700,000. Ashton Woods has listed from about $481,000 to $696,000; David Weekley from about $499,990.
• Heron Bay (first Orlando-side neighborhood): Taylor Morrison is pricing from the mid-$500,000s, with sales expected later in 2026.

Base prices do not include lot premiums, structural options, or design center upgrades. Ask each builder for a current price sheet, because list prices change by phase and quarter.

Planned Amenities

Sunbridge is being developed with a comprehensive amenity plan. As of 2026, many amenities are completed or under construction:

• Town Center -- Planned mixed-use center with retail, dining, and services. Early phases under development.
• Parks and trails -- Multiple neighborhood parks, pocket parks, and a planned trail network.
• Community pools -- Each village has its own pool and amenity center.
• Schools -- Planned school sites within the development. Current students attend nearby Osceola County schools.
• Del Webb amenity center -- Clubhouse, fitness, pool, and social programming for the 55+ neighborhood.

The full buildout will take many years. Buyers should ask their builder about current and planned amenities for their specific village.

Development Phases

Sunbridge is being developed in phases, each opening new sections of the community. Early phases offer the best lot selection but have fewer completed amenities. Later phases benefit from established infrastructure and completed community features but may have fewer premium lots available. Check with individual builders for their specific phase timelines and availability.

Schools

Sunbridge is in the Osceola County School District. Planned school sites within the development will eventually serve the community. Near-term, students attend existing Osceola County schools including:

• Narcoossee Elementary School
• Neptune Middle School
• St. Cloud High School

Zoning changes frequently in growing areas. Verify current school assignments with the district at the address level.

HOA and CDD Fees

Sunbridge homes are subject to both a Homeowners Association and a Community Development District. CDD fees appear on the annual property tax bill. Combined annual costs typically range from $1,500 to $3,500 depending on the village and phase. Ask the builder for a complete cost disclosure.

Why Sunbridge Attracts Relocating Buyers

• Strong active builders -- Ashton Woods, David Weekley, Pulte, Toll Brothers, and more are selling in the open neighborhoods today.
• Medical City access -- Short commute to Lake Nona Medical City for healthcare professionals.
• Newer development -- Early phases mean earlier lot selection and appreciation potential.
• Affordability vs. Lake Nona -- Similar quality at lower price points than comparable Lake Nona homes.
• Active adult option -- Dedicated 55+ community (Del Webb) within the larger development.
• Growing amenities -- Publix, a working school, and the Cypress House amenity center and restaurant are open, with a commercial district planned.

Things to Consider

• Phased buildout -- Not all amenities are complete. The community will be under construction for years.
• Narcoossee Road traffic -- Congestion during peak hours continues to increase with growth.
• School timing -- On-site schools are planned but not all are open. Current students may travel further.
• CDD fees -- Factor into total monthly housing costs.
• Retail limited beyond the grocery store -- A Publix is open, but broader shopping and dining still require driving to St. Cloud or Lake Nona until the commercial district is built.
• Construction activity -- Ongoing noise, trucks, and dust in active development phases.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many homes will Sunbridge have when complete?

Sunbridge is planned for thousands of homes across multiple villages. The exact buildout number depends on final development plans, which may change over time as the community evolves.

Is Sunbridge a good investment?

Master-planned communities in Central Florida growth corridors have historically appreciated well. However, individual results depend on location within the community, home quality, and broader market conditions.

Can I use my own lender for a Sunbridge home?

Yes, buyers are not required to use the builder's preferred lender. However, builders may offer incentives (closing cost credits, rate buydowns) for using their in-house or preferred lender. Compare offers to determine the best value.

Do I need a real estate agent to buy in Sunbridge?

While not required, having your own agent is strongly recommended. The builder pays the buyer's agent commission, so representation costs you nothing. Register with your agent on your first visit.
