Where it is
The community is on Wolf Lake Avenue near Ponkan Road in north Apopka, at 3126 Wolf Lake Avenue. Wolf Lake Elementary and Wolf Lake Middle are both on W Ponkan Road.
One builder social media post calls the location South Apopka. That conflicts with the address on the builder's own community page, which this page follows. Confirm the address on the contract.
Homes and prices
The homes are single-family on homesites about 80 feet wide, compared with the 55-foot single-family lots described in The Ridge at Apopka district. Lot depth and total area were not captured, so check the survey for the lot you want. Plans run from 2,167 to 5,024 square feet.
| Measure | Figure | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Starting price | $599,990 | Builder community page |
| Featured home | $616,990 | Builder community page |
| Listed inventory range | About $617,000 to $780,000 | National listing site |
The starting price is a base price before lot premiums and options. On a plan range this wide, options and lot choice move the total a long way. Ask for a written price for the specific plan, lot and option list, and for the inventory homes that are finished or close to it.
For resale comparisons at similar prices in north Apopka, look at Lester Ridge, Oak Ridge and Rock Springs Ridge.
HOA, CDD and running costs
The HOA is $221 a month, or $2,652 a year. It supports a gated entry, a playground, firepit lounges and walking trails. There is no community pool in the amenity list.
The builder states there are no CDD fees. Ask for that in writing and check the parcel's tax record.
City limits status was not verified. 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 a new home, the first tax bill after closing is often based on land value only and rises once the finished home is assessed. Budget on the full value from the start. Use the property tax estimator, the mortgage calculator and the new construction guide.
Zoned schools
The builder lists Wolf Lake Elementary, Wolf Lake Middle and Apopka High. For 2025-26 the state graded Wolf Lake Elementary A, Wolf Lake Middle A and Apopka High B. The builder's list was not checked against the district's tool. The school board approved boundary changes involving both Wolf Lake schools for 2026-27, and Wolf Lake Middle was reported as above capacity in May 2026. Confirm the address in the OCPS attendance zone lookup.
Getting around
Ponkan Road is the local east-west route. The community is not next to an expressway interchange. The nearest SR 429 access points are the US 441 connector near Plymouth Sorrento Road and Kelly Park Road. SR 429 is tolled, at $0.98 with a transponder at the Ponkan main plaza under the schedule effective July 1, 2026.
The largest planned change nearby is Paulucci Acres: 1,034 homes on both sides of W Ponkan Road, south and east of Wolf Lake Middle School. The rezoning passed first reading in January 2026. Construction could begin in late 2027 or early 2028, with build-out expected around 2035, and the developer is to help pay for Ponkan Road improvements. Test your route in the commute times tool.
What to check before you buy here

- Get the HOA budget and ask whether the streets are private and how the gate and streets are funded.
- Get the no-CDD statement in writing and confirm the mill code.
- Check the survey for lot depth, easements and where a pool could go.
- Ask where Paulucci Acres and the Ponkan Road improvements stand. See the development tracker.
- Check the FEMA flood map for the lot and get an insurance quote before your review period ends.
