A gated east-Orange pod pattern arranged around a public golf course.
THE STORY
One name, six districts, and 24 sub-communities under it.
Eastwood is one planned development of about 1,200 acres, organised into six districts and 24 sub-communities. That structure is the thing to understand before shopping here, because two addresses a mile apart inside the same name can carry different builders, different eras and different association rules.
Orlando-based Benge Development Corporation built it, and Eastwood was the company's first master-planned community. The entitlement allowed up to 2,320 residential units and 100,000 square feet of commercial space, and construction ran from 1989 through 2003, which is why the housing stock spans the early 1990s to the early 2000s rather than one build year.
The EastWood Golf Club was established in 1989 and its fairways run through the plan, more than 7,100 yards of them, with a clubhouse, practice facility and pro shop. The course was laid out alongside the first residential phases rather than added later.
The community sits in east Orange County at South Alafaya Trail and Golfway Boulevard, with a second entrance at Woodbury Road and Golfway. A Publix-anchored neighbourhood centre sits inside the development, so day-to-day errands do not require leaving it.
Amenities are held in common: a cabana with an outdoor pool, lighted tennis courts and a community room, plus West Park and Freedom Park, which carry pavilions, playgrounds, sports courts and fields for soccer, baseball and softball.
The inventory runs from townhomes and smaller single-family product through larger custom houses on golf and water frontage, with a broad price band inside one gate.
Eastwood is served by Orange County Public Schools. For buyers the case is a fully built golf community close to the University of Central Florida and the Alafaya corridor, with a wide enough range of product that the search stays inside one place.
Frequently Asked
What buyers ask about Eastwood
What is Eastwood known for?
Eastwood is one planned development of about 1,200 acres, organized into six districts and 24 sub-communities, built by Orlando-based Benge Development Corporation as its first master-planned community. The EastWood Golf Club was established in 1989 and its fairways, more than 7,100 yards of them, run through the plan rather than being added later.
What's the commute like from Eastwood to downtown Orlando?
Eastwood sits in east Orange County at South Alafaya Trail and Golfway Boulevard, with a second entrance at Woodbury Road and Golfway. The Alafaya corridor is the commuting road, running past the University of Central Florida toward the rest of the county. A Publix-anchored neighborhood center sits inside the development, so daily errands do not add to the drive.
What types of homes are available in Eastwood?
The band runs from townhomes and smaller single-family product through larger custom houses on EastWood Golf Club and water frontage, giving a broad price band inside one gate. Construction ran from 1989 through 2003, so the stock spans the early 1990s to the early 2000s rather than one build year.
Are there gated subdivisions in Eastwood?
Yes, in parts. Eastwood is organized into six districts and 24 sub-communities around the EastWood Golf Club, and controlled access varies between them rather than applying to the whole development. Because two addresses a mile apart can carry different association rules, confirm the entry arrangement for the specific sub-community before you write.
What's the property tax rate in Eastwood?
Eastwood is assessed on the Orange County rate, but the number that actually varies is the association obligation, and it varies by where you are inside the development. With six districts and 24 sub-communities under one name, the assessment attached to your specific sub-community is what matters. We read that one, not the summary.

What should I know before making an offer in Eastwood?
Two addresses a mile apart inside the same name can carry different builders, different eras and different association rules, so establish which of the six districts and 24 sub-communities you are in before you write. Then inspect to that build year, since the stock spans 1989 to 2003. Read the association documents for your specific sub-community rather than the community-wide summary, and confirm what the EastWood Golf Club membership does and does not include.
Which pockets inside Eastwood fit different priorities?
Golf and water frontage lots carry the larger custom houses and the top of the range. The townhome and smaller single-family product is the entry into the same amenities. Addresses near the Publix-anchored neighborhood center put errands within the gates. Proximity to the South Alafaya Trail entrance matters most for University of Central Florida commuting.
What outdoor amenities are nearby?
The EastWood Golf Club runs through the plan with a clubhouse, practice facility and pro shop. Common amenities include a cabana with an outdoor pool, lighted tennis courts and a community room, plus West Park and Freedom Park, which carry pavilions, playgrounds, sports courts and fields for soccer, baseball and softball.
