Eden Crest is a Hartizen Homes community off Boy Scout Road in Apopka 32703, with about 300 homes planned, 177 of them townhomes.

Where it is
Eden Crest is off Boy Scout Road in southwest Apopka, at 855 Emerald Grove Drive. The builder's directions bring you from SR 414 by way of Marden Road and Ocoee Apopka Road, and SR 429 is also close.
The same road holds Bronson Peak and Bronson's Ridge, which sit inside The Ridge at Apopka Community Development District. Eden Crest is a separate community, and its builder says it has no CDD. That difference is worth pricing when you compare them.
Homes and prices
| Home type | Size | From |
|---|---|---|
| Townhomes | 1,766 to 1,782 sq ft | $339,990 |
| Single-family | 1,839 to 2,982 sq ft | $474,990 |
These are starting prices. They exclude lot premiums, options and upgrades, and builders change them without notice. The home counts, about 300 in total with 177 townhomes, come from a national listing site, not the builder.
The townhome plans are nearly identical in size. Single-family plans cover a wider range, from 1,839 to 2,982 square feet. Ask for the price of the specific plan on the specific lot, with the options you want, before comparing with other communities.
HOA, CDD and running costs
The HOA fee was not published on the pages reviewed. Amenities are a zero-entry pool with a cabana, a dog park, barbecue grills, a playground and walking trails. In nearby Emerson Park and Emerson Pointe, townhome dues are reported well above single-family dues, so ask for both fee schedules here and what each covers.
The builder states there are no CDD fees. Get that in writing and confirm on the parcel's tax record once one exists. For comparison, assessments in the neighboring Ridge at Apopka district are reported at about $906 to $2,028 a year by lot type for fiscal year 2027.
City limits status was not verified. The 2026 total millage is 16.0079 in the City of Apopka and 15.9798 or 16.0306 in the base unincorporated codes. On a new home, the first tax bill after closing is often based on land value only and rises once the home is assessed, so budget for the higher figure from the start. Use the property tax estimator, the mortgage calculator and the new construction guide.
Zoned schools
The builder lists Apopka Elementary, Wolf Lake Middle and Wekiva High. For 2025-26 the state graded Apopka Elementary B, Wolf Lake Middle A and Wekiva High C. The builder's list was not checked against the district's tool. Confirm the lot's address in the OCPS attendance zone lookup.
Getting around
SR 414 and SR 429 are the nearest expressways, both tolled. The Central Florida Expressway Authority schedule effective July 1, 2026 lists $1.38 at the SR 414 Coral Hills main plaza and $0.70 at the Keene Road ramps with a transponder. Pay-by-plate costs double.
Ocoee-Apopka Road, part of the builder's route to the community, is programmed for widening from two lanes to four between Harmon Road and South Hawthorne Avenue in 2027 and 2028, and could be finished by 2030. A Publix opened at 2411 Ocoee Apopka Road on September 24, 2026. Check your own trip in the commute times tool.
