Lester Ridge is a subdivision of about 100 single-family homes in Apopka 32712, built by Meritage Homes between 2013 and 2016. Pricing evidence is thin: one home was listed at $630,000 in November 2026, and county records show a median of $599,900 for 2024 sales. HOA dues are about $62 a month. It is not gated.
Where it is
Lester Ridge is off Lester Road just east of Rogers Road in north Apopka. Carriage Hill is off Rogers Road just north of Lester Road, and San Sebastian Reserve is farther east on Lester Road near Rock Springs Road. The subdivision is not next to an expressway interchange.
Homes and prices
All of the homes are single-family and were built by one builder over about four years, so the homes are close in age. Sizes are not: floor plans run from about 1,900 to about 5,205 square feet, a wide spread for a subdivision this small.
That spread is the main reason to be careful with prices. With about 100 homes, only a few sell in any year. The two data points found were a single active listing at $630,000 in November 2026 and a county-record median of $599,900 for sales in 2024. Neither tells you what a 2,000 square foot home or a 5,000 square foot home is worth today. For an offer or a listing price, work from the individual closed sales, adjusted for size, and expect to look back more than a year to find enough of them.
HOA, CDD and running costs
HOA dues are reported at about $62 a month. One source shows $187, which is likely the same fee billed quarterly. The association maintains a park, a playground and sidewalks. There is no pool in the amenity list. One listing site mentions a dock and fishing, which was not confirmed.
No source mentions a CDD, but none confirms its absence. A CDD would appear as a non-ad valorem line on the parcel's Orange County tax bill.
The Apopka mailing address does not settle whether a parcel is inside city limits. For 2026 the total millage is 16.0079 in the City of Apopka and 15.9798 or 16.0306 in the base unincorporated codes. On $350,000 of taxable value that is about $5,603 a year in the city and about $5,593 outside it, before any assessments. City or county also decides who provides water, sewer and trash service. Estimate your own bill with the property tax estimator and your payment with the mortgage calculator.
Zoned schools

Getting around
Lester Road runs east to Rock Springs Road and is used by routing as a link toward US 441. The nearest SR 429 access points are the US 441 connector near Plymouth Sorrento Road and Kelly Park Road. Neither is adjacent, and SR 429 is tolled.
Typical off-peak drive times from this community are in the commute tool and on the Apopka Atlas. Expect longer at rush hour.
One planned change nearby: Paulucci Acres, a 1,034-home development approved on first reading in January 2026, covers land north of Rogers Road and along W Ponkan Road. Construction could begin in late 2027 or early 2028, with build-out expected around 2035. See the Apopka development tracker.
What to check before you buy here
- Ask for every closed sale in the subdivision for the past two to three years, with square footage, since the sample is small.
- Confirm the HOA fee and billing period, and whether any dock or water access is actually common property.
- Pull the tax record to confirm the mill code and whether any CDD or other assessment appears.
- On homes from 2013 to 2016, ask the age of the roof and air conditioning and order a wind mitigation report for insurance.
- Check the FEMA flood map for the lot.
- Ask where Paulucci Acres phases and Ponkan Road improvements stand before you close.
