Inside Tavistock
Tavistock is Laureate Park’s foundational neighborhood within Lake Nona, a 17-square-mile master-planned community in southeast Orange County. Developed by Tavistock Development Company, the master developer behind all of Lake Nona, Laureate Park represents the company’s most ambitious residential vision-a walkable, connected community where contemporary architecture, fiber connectivity, and 21st-century infrastructure converge. Homes range from $450,000 to $1.2 million, reflecting the mix of architectural styles and home types across the neighborhood.
The community is designed around new urbanist principles: a street grid that invites walking, front porches, mixed-use centers, and civic spaces. All homes feature fiber-optic internet connectivity, a hallmark of Tavistock’s vision for forward-thinking communities. Residents also have access to solar panel options, supported by Florida’s net-metering rules and programs facilitated by the developer. The broader neighborhood is designed to LEED-ND standards, emphasizing tree canopy, stormwater management, and bicycle infrastructure. Contemporary single-family homes are built by names like David Weekley, Ashton Woods, and Minto Communities.
Central to daily life is the Village Center, home to Canvas Restaurant & Market, the LP Fit community fitness facility, a resort-style aquatic center with lagoon pools and lap lanes, and a private early learning center. The aquatic center anchors the neighborhood’s emphasis on wellness and active living. Miles of lighted walking paths, pocket parks, and dog parks weave through the community, connecting residents to schools, shops, and Lake Nona’s broader amenities.
Laureate Park students are assigned to Orange County Public Schools campuses at the elementary, middle, and high school levels. However, homeowners should understand that Laureate Park carries Community Development District (CDD) assessments, typically $2,000-$4,500 annually depending on lot and phase, which fund infrastructure and amenities separately from HOA fees. This is a material component of the cost of ownership and should be factored into budget comparisons with non-CDD communities. For buyers seeking a modern, walkable neighborhood with contemporary homes and integrated technology, Laureate Park delivers on Tavistock’s vision of sustainable, connected living.
