Windrose is a D.R. Horton community of 143 planned single-family homes and 59 planned townhomes on Galloping Drive in Apopka 32712. As of November 2026, single-family homes ran about $377,000 to $495,000 and townhomes about $340,000 to $377,000, with HOA dues of roughly $81 to $135 a month. Whether the builder still has homes to sell is unclear, so confirm before you plan a visit.
Where it is
Windrose is on the 5900 to 6200 blocks of Galloping Drive, east of Plymouth Sorrento Road and north of W Kelly Park Road. The sales address was 6202 Galloping Drive. The street continues north from Bridle Path, an earlier D.R. Horton subdivision, and that relationship is inferred from the shared street name and address ranges. The SR 429 Kelly Park Road interchange is close by.
Homes and prices
| Home type | Planned | Price evidence |

The sources conflict on availability. One national listing site marks Windrose sold out, and it no longer appears on D.R. Horton's Apopka page. Another page still shows several listings at builder-style prices. If you are offered a new home here, ask whether the seller is the builder or an owner, because that changes the contract, the warranty and the negotiating room. On builder homes, base prices exclude lot premiums and options.
HOA, CDD and running costs
MLS-derived fee data puts HOA dues at about $81 to $135 a month, with a median near $1,128 a year. The range likely reflects the difference between single-family lots and townhomes, so get the figure for the specific home. Amenities are a community pool with cabanas, a pond and walking paths. One listing site also mentions a clubhouse and fitness center, which was not confirmed.
No CDD appeared in the fee data reviewed, but that is not confirmation. Look for a CDD line on the parcel's Orange County tax bill.
The Apopka mailing address does not tell you whether a lot 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, a gap of about $10 a year on $350,000 of taxable value. On a home built in 2025 or 2026, the first tax bill 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
A national listing site shows Kelly Park School and Apopka High School for Windrose. For 2025-26 the state graded Kelly Park School, a PK-8 campus, A and Apopka High B. The zoning was not checked against the district's tool, and the school board approved boundary changes involving Kelly Park School for the 2026-27 year. Confirm the address in the OCPS attendance zone lookup.
Getting around
SR 429 at Kelly Park Road is the nearest expressway access. It is a toll road. The Central Florida Expressway Authority lists $0.98 at the Ponkan main plaza with a transponder, effective July 1, 2026. The Kelly Park Road ramp toll was not captured.
The City is widening about 1.5 miles of W Kelly Park Road to four lanes, ending just past Plymouth Sorrento Road. Notice to begin was issued in March 2026 with a Thanksgiving 2027 target, and a funding shortfall was still unresolved in October 2026. Compare routes with the commute times tool.
What to check before you buy here
- Confirm who is selling: the builder or a resale owner. Ask for the remaining builder warranty in writing either way.
- If it is a builder sale, read the contract's deposit and delay terms and bring your own representation to the first visit.
- Pull the parcel's tax record to confirm the mill code and whether any CDD or other non-ad valorem line appears.
- Get the HOA budget and the fee for your home type. Townhome lots are small, so ask what the association maintains.
- Ask for the Kelly Park Road widening schedule and expect construction traffic until it is finished.
- Check the FEMA flood map, since the community has a pond, and get an insurance quote early.
