Storey Park at a glance

Storey Park is a newer planned community in the southeast part of the City of Orlando, east of SR 417 and north of Wewahootee Road, in the same part of town as Lake Nona and Laureate Park. Its community development district was created by the Orlando City Council on March 9, 2015. The district's 2019 public facilities report describes about 860.8 gross acres, entirely inside the city, planned for 1,201 single-family homes, 556 multi-family units and 82,000 square feet of commercial space.

Is Storey Park a good area to live in?

Storey Park suits buyers who want a newer home in southeast Orlando with district-run parks and lakes, and who can budget for a CDD assessment that is published and predictable. It is a weaker fit if you want no special district charges, an older established neighborhood, or a short drive to downtown.

The key number is the total yearly cost: property tax, CDD debt and O&M, and any HOA dues. Compare that total with homes in Lake Nona and Vista Lakes.

What Storey Park is known for

District-owned parks

The CDD owns and runs the community's recreation areas. Its amenity policies list Quad Park, Hammock Beach Park, a dog park, shared-use paths and sidewalks, and the lakes, ponds and natural areas inside the district.

Published CDD budgets

Unlike many communities, Storey Park's district posts its budgets, so you can see the assessment by lot width before you buy.

Planned commercial space

The district plan includes 82,000 square feet of commercial space alongside the homes.

Homes and prices in Storey Park

Zillow's typical home value in Storey Park was $531,372 in August 2026, down 2.6% on a year earlier. For comparison, Zillow put Lake Nona Central at $586,269 and Northlake Park at Lake Nona at $517,889 in the same month, and the City of Orlando overall at $371,120.

Townhomes

Townhomes sit on 20- and 25-foot lots in the district's budget, the lowest assessment tier.

Single-family homes

Detached homes sit on lots from 32 to 60 feet wide. Wider lots cost more to buy and carry higher CDD assessments.

Newer resales

For a newer resale, ask what's left of the builder's warranty and whether it transfers. The Orlando new construction guide covers how to compare a resale with a builder's new home.

How much is the Storey Park CDD assessment?

The CDD charges two things on each home's property tax bill: a debt assessment that repays the bonds used to build roads, drainage and other infrastructure, and an operations and maintenance (O&M) assessment. Both scale with lot width. These are the gross annual amounts in the district's FY2025 adopted budget for Assessment Area 1:

ProductDebt (gross)O&M (gross)Total per year
Townhome, 20 ft$506$367$873
Townhome, 25 ft$633$459$1,092
Single-family, 32 ft$810$588$1,398
Single-family, 40 ft$1,013$735$1,748
Single-family, 50 ft$1,266$918$2,184
Single-family, 60 ft$1,519$1,102$2,621

The district has five assessment areas, financed by bond series from 2015 through 2022. FY2025 was the most recent adopted budget we found posted, so the current year may differ. Before you buy:

  • Read the CDD line on the parcel's latest Orange County tax bill.
  • Ask the district manager which assessment area the lot is in and when its bonds are scheduled to be paid off.
  • Ask separately about any homeowners association dues. The CDD is not an HOA.

Living in Storey Park

Parks and paths

Quad Park, Hammock Beach Park, the dog park and shared-use paths are the main amenities. The CDD sets the rules for residents, renters and guests, including rental fees for some facilities.

Shops and dining

Commercial space is planned inside the district; for now, check drive times to the Lake Nona Town Center area and other shops you use.

Schools

Check the exact address with Orange County Public Schools' Find My School tool; zoning in fast-growing areas can change. See our Orlando schools guide.

Getting around

SR 417, a toll road, is the main route north and to the airport. E-PASS saves up to 50% compared with Pay By Plate on the Central Florida Expressway network.

Other costs to check

City property tax

Because the district is entirely inside the City of Orlando, city millage applies on top of Orange County and school taxes; the most common city code totaled 18.0878 mills in 2025. Use the Orange County property tax guide to estimate the tax at your price.

HOA dues

The CDD is not an HOA. Ask separately about any homeowners association dues.

Flood and insurance

Look up the FEMA flood zone and get quotes early, especially for lots on lakes or natural areas.

Pros and cons of Storey Park

Pro: transparent CDD costs

Posted budgets let you price the assessment by lot width.

Pro: newer homes

The district dates from 2015, so homes are recent.

Pro: parks and lakes

District-run parks, paths and natural areas.

Con: CDD plus city millage

A 50-foot lot paid $2,184 gross in FY2025 on top of city, county and school taxes.

Con: still building

Ask which parcels are still under construction, since the plan includes commercial and multi-family land.

Con: far from downtown

Most trips use toll roads. When you're ready to tour, we can introduce you to a local agent who works in southeast Orlando.

Common questions

Does Storey Park have a CDD?+

Yes. The Storey Park Community Development District was created by City of Orlando ordinance in March 2015 under Chapter 190, Florida Statutes. It charges debt and operations assessments on each home's property tax bill. In its FY2025 budget, a 50-foot single-family lot in Assessment Area 1 paid $2,184 a year gross. Check the parcel's own tax bill for the current amount.

How much are homes in Storey Park, Orlando?+

Zillow's typical home value in Storey Park was $531,372 in August 2026, down 2.6% from a year earlier. The community mixes townhomes and single-family homes on lots from 20 to 60 feet wide, so prices vary a lot by product. Ask for recent closed sales of the same home type and lot width.

Is Storey Park in the City of Orlando?+

Yes. The Storey Park CDD's public facilities report says the district lies entirely within the City of Orlando, east of SR 417 and north of Wewahootee Road. That means city millage applies on top of Orange County and school taxes, in addition to the CDD assessment.

What amenities does Storey Park have?+

The Storey Park CDD's amenity policies cover Quad Park, Hammock Beach Park, a dog park, shared-use paths and sidewalks, and the lakes, ponds and natural areas within the district. The CDD owns and maintains these spaces and sets the rules for residents, renters and guests, including rental fees for some facilities.

When do the Storey Park CDD bonds end?+

The Storey Park CDD has five assessment areas financed by bond series issued from 2015 through 2022, so payoff dates differ by area. Ask the district manager which assessment area a lot is in and when its bonds are scheduled to be repaid. The debt part of the assessment ends then, but the operations and maintenance part continues and is set in each annual budget.
