Emerson Park is a community of single-family homes and townhomes in southwest Apopka 32703, built mainly between 2007 and 2014. Park Square Homes is selling new townhomes there from $360,100 as of November 2026.

Where it is
Emerson Park is in southwest Apopka near the SR 414 and SR 429 interchange and AdventHealth Apopka, the 158-bed hospital at 2100 Ocoee Apopka Road. The current new-home sales office is at 1618 Acclaim Road. The community is in the City of Apopka, and its main roads were reported as dedicated to the City in late 2025 or early 2026.
Several names refer to parts of the same community: Emerson North or Emerson Park North, Crossing at Emerson Park, and The Residences at Emerson Park. Emerson North is a townhome section with its own association. Emerson Pointe is a different, adjacent community by another builder.
Homes and prices
Most homes here are resales from the 2007 to 2014 build-out. Many of the single-family homes are alley-load, meaning the garage is at the rear. Resale prices and sizes were not captured for this page, so ask for recent closed sales in the specific section you are looking at.
The one current builder is Park Square Homes, selling The Residences at Emerson Park. Its townhomes run 1,662 to 1,825 square feet and started at $360,100 in November 2026. That is a base price before lot premiums and options. The original-phase builders and the total home count were not verified.
HOA, CDD and running costs
Emerson Park has more than one association, and the fee you pay depends on where the home sits.
| Section | Per year | Per month |
|---|---|---|
| Single-family | About $1,524 | About $127 |
| Emerson North Townhomes | About $3,144 | About $262 |
| Townhomes and villas | About $5,198 | About $433 |
These are medians from listings, not the associations' published budgets. Ask what the townhome dues cover, such as exterior maintenance, roof reserves or insurance on the building, because that explains much of the gap. Community amenities are a clubhouse, pool, fitness center, playground, dog parks, walking trails and green space.
None of 20 MLS listings reviewed reported a CDD. That is good evidence but not a tax-roll check, so look at the parcel's tax bill.
The community is in the City of Apopka, where the 2026 total millage is 16.0079. If you buy one of the new townhomes, the first tax bill after closing is often based on land value only and rises once the home is assessed. See the property tax estimator, the mortgage calculator and the new construction guide.
Zoned schools
Park Square Homes lists Phillis Wheatley Elementary, Apopka Memorial Middle and Apopka High. For 2025-26 the state graded Phillis Wheatley Elementary C, Apopka Memorial Middle B and Apopka High B. The builder's list was not checked against the district's tool. Confirm the address in the OCPS attendance zone lookup.
Getting around
The SR 414 and SR 429 interchange is the nearest expressway access. Both roads are tolled. The Central Florida Expressway Authority schedule effective July 1, 2026 lists $1.38 at the SR 414 Coral Hills main plaza and $1.72 at the SR 429 Forest Lake main plaza with a transponder, and double that by plate.
Two road projects are worth knowing about. CFX is widening SR 429 from West Road to SR 414, still under construction in September 2026. Ocoee-Apopka Road is programmed to be widened from two lanes to four between Harmon Road and South Hawthorne Avenue in 2027 and 2028. A Publix opened at 2411 Ocoee Apopka Road on September 24, 2026.

What to check before you buy here
- Identify the exact association or associations for the address and get each budget, fee and reserve study.
- For townhomes, ask in writing what the dues cover and whether a special assessment is pending.
- On a new townhome, read the builder contract's deposit and delay terms and bring your own representation on the first visit.
- Confirm on the tax bill that no CDD or other non-ad valorem assessment applies.
- On homes from 2007 to 2014, ask the age of the roof, air conditioning and water heater, since insurers price on them.
- Check the FEMA flood map for the lot and get an insurance quote during the inspection period.
