Welcome to Tour Tuesday, where we walk you through communities that go beyond curb appeal—into comfort, lifestyle, and long-term value.
Today’s feature is Havencrest, a boutique luxury neighborhood tucked inside Dr. Phillips—one of Orlando’s most established and sought-after residential areas.
If you’re dreaming of a move near Disney without short-term rental traffic or tourist sprawl, Havencrest might be your hidden haven.
📍 Where Is Havencrest?
Havencrest sits off Apopka-Vineland Road, just:
- 🏰 15 minutes from Magic Kingdom
- 🍽️ 5 minutes to Restaurant Row on Sand Lake
- 🛍️ 10 minutes to Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, and upscale shopping
- ✈️ 20–25 minutes to Orlando International Airport (MCO)
This location blends suburban peace with urban convenience—and it’s one of the few Disney-area neighborhoods where you can easily avoid tourist traffic altogether.
🏡 What Kind of Homes Are in Havencrest?
Built by Taylor Morrison, Havencrest features estate-style single-family homes on spacious lots, many with conservation or pond views.
Highlights include:
- 3,800–5,200+ sq. ft.
- 4–6 bedrooms with optional guest suites and flex rooms
- 3–4 car garages
- Grand entrances, soaring ceilings, and dramatic windows
- Chef kitchens, wine rooms, and luxe owner’s suites
- Outdoor kitchens, screened lanais, and space for custom pools
This is luxury without the pretension—designed for families who want beauty and functionality.
🧭 Why Buyers Love Havencrest

- ✅ Residential zoning only—no vacation rentals
- ✅ Gated entrance for security and privacy
- ✅ Lower density with large lots and mature landscaping
- ✅ Peaceful, established neighborhood energy
It’s the kind of place where you actually know your neighbors—and where quality of life takes priority over flash.

Havencrest is perfect for:
- Families relocating from out of state who want top-tier schools + amenities
- Professionals working remotely or commuting to downtown
- Retirees who want elegance and convenience without the chaos
- Disney lovers who want proximity—but also privacy and prestige
