Background

A brief history

Sabal Point's roots trace to 1981 when the Trophy Club of Orlando golf course was established, designed by Ward Northrup. The community evolved significantly in the 1990s and 2000s as residential development expanded around the championship course. In 2005, the golf course closed, sparking a major transformation. After a protracted legal battle between residents and developers (2005–2011), a compromise emerged: portions of the golf course were developed into residential subdivisions while 85 acres were preserved as Sabal Point Commons, a community recreational area. The Residences at Sabal Point, constructed in 1995–1996, began as apartments and were later converted to condo associations. Today, Sabal Point is a master-planned community of over 1,000 homes across 13 distinct sub-neighborhoods or villages.

The feel

What it's like to live here

Sabal Point embodies the rare blend of a luxury country club lifestyle with approachable price points and diverse housing types. The community's 85-acre commons—anchored by manicured grounds, a clubhouse, championship facilities, and extensive recreational amenities—creates a resort-like atmosphere that sets it apart from typical suburban developments. Yet homes range from modest $180K condos to elegant $600K+ estates, making Sabal Point accessible to first-time buyers, families, and empty-nesters alike.

The neighborhood attracts residents who prioritize community and amenities over isolation. Walking trails wind through the commons; families gather at pools and parks; retirees enjoy fitness centers and clubhouse events. The presence of Sabal Point Elementary—a top-4 Seminole County school—anchors family appeal. Longwood's central location and proximity to I-4, employment hubs, and cultural attractions in Orlando make Sabal Point a practical choice for professionals and families seeking both community and convenience.
