Inside Vizcaya
Vizcaya is a 24-hour guard-gated Mediterranean-style community spanning 85 acres in Dr. Phillips, an upscale neighborhood in southwest Orlando. Established in 2001 and built through 2017, the community encompasses three distinct HOA subdivisions: Vizcaya Master, Mirabella at Vizcaya, and Bella Notte at Vizcaya. The development sits on a peninsula surrounded by Big Sand Lake, Little Sand Lake, and Lake Serene, providing residents with extensive waterfront access and recreational opportunities including boating, fishing, and jet skiing.
The housing stock ranges from modest townhomes and condominiums to sprawling estate homes, with prices typically spanning $350,000 to $2 million and above. Most properties feature Spanish/Mediterranean or contemporary architectural styles with 3 to 6 bedrooms. Homes built between 2001 and 2006 were primarily developed by Reiche & Silliman Inc., with later phases built through 2017. Single-family homes dominate the larger lakefront lots, while townhomes and high-rise condominiums occupy denser sections closer to The Esplanade and Tivoli Drive.
Amenities include a state-of-the-art clubhouse overlooking Little Sand Lake, a modern fitness center, tennis courts, multiple pools with cabanas, two dog parks, playgrounds, and a waterfront observation dock. The community is well-positioned for commuters and professionals, with Orange County Public Schools campuses 1.1 miles away at the elementary level, 2 miles at the middle school level, and 2.5 miles at the high school level. Confirm zoning with the district before you make an offer. HOA fees vary significantly by property type and subdivision, ranging from $109 to $2,390 monthly depending on home type and amenities included.
Located at Sand Lake Road and The Esplanade, Vizcaya offers convenient access to Restaurant Row, upscale shopping, theme parks (Disney 5 miles, Universal 1-2 miles), and golf courses along the Sand Lake Chain of Lakes. The 24-hour guard-gated entrance and secondary resident-only electric gate provide security and privacy. Vizcaya has emerged as a established Central Florida address, recognized in 2015 when Dr. Phillips was named the 26th best place to live in the USA by Money Magazine.
