Emerson Pointe is a gated M/I Homes community in Apopka 32703 with 225 planned homes, 128 of them townhomes. A listing dated November 10, 2026 showed new homes from $359,990 to $615,990 and described the community as an active sellout. HOA dues are reported at $159 to $174 a month for single-family homes and $278 to $326 for townhomes. Two sources say there is no CDD.
Where it is
Emerson Pointe is in southwest Apopka near SR 414, SR 429 and US 441. Its main street is Pointe Emerson Boulevard, and it sits beside Emerson Park, an older community with separate associations. The two are easy to confuse in listing searches, so check the subdivision name on the listing.
Homes and prices
M/I Homes sells two series here, townhomes and single-family homes. Sizes run from 1,691 to 3,460 square feet. The $359,990 to $615,990 range comes from a new-home listing site dated November 10, 2026. The builder's own page was not opened for this page.
The community is closing out, so the choice of lots and plans is limited. Builder base prices exclude lot premiums and options. One third-party page cites homes up to 5,000 square feet and $800,000. Nothing else supports that, so it is left out of the range above. Ask for closed resale prices in the community as well as builder prices.
Emerson Pointe is described as a natural-gas community, so budget for a gas utility account.
HOA, CDD and running costs
HOA figures differ by source.
| Home type | Lower report | Higher report |
|---|---|---|
| Single-family | $159 a month | $174 a month |
| Townhome | $278 a month | $326 a month |
An MLS-derived median for the community is about $3,912 a year. Get the current figure from the association's budget, not from a listing. The dues support a gated entry, a private pool and cabana, a playground, a dog park, pocket parks, a pond and walking trails.
Two sources state there is no CDD. Confirm on the parcel's tax bill.
City limits status was not verified. For 2026 the total millage is 16.0079 inside the City of Apopka and 15.9798 or 16.0306 in the base unincorporated codes. The Orange County Property Appraiser record shows which applies. On a new home the first tax bill after closing is often based on land value only and rises once the home is assessed. Use the property tax estimator, the mortgage calculator and the new construction guide.
Zoned schools
One third-party page lists Phillis Wheatley Elementary, Piedmont Lakes Middle and Wekiva High. For 2025-26 the state graded Phillis Wheatley Elementary C, Piedmont Lakes Middle B and Wekiva High C. That page misspelled two of the school names, so treat the list as unverified. Confirm the address in the OCPS attendance zone lookup.
Getting around
SR 414 and SR 429 are the nearest expressways, and US 441 is the toll-free route through downtown Apopka. 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 is double.
A long-range project matters here: CFX plans elevated SR 414 lanes over Maitland Boulevard to I-4, with construction starting in early 2028 and completion estimated for 2031. Typical off-peak drive times from this community are in the commute tool and on the Apopka Atlas.
What to check before you buy here
- Get the HOA budget and the exact fee for your home type, since published figures conflict.
- Ask what the townhome dues cover and how the gate, pool and private streets are reserved for.
- In a close-out, ask which homes are finished inventory and what incentives are tied to the builder's lender.
- Read the builder contract's deposit and delay terms, and bring your own representation to the sales office on the first visit.
- Confirm on the tax record that there is no CDD and which mill code applies.
- Check the FEMA flood map, since the community has a pond, and get an insurance quote early.
