“A 169-home Pulte community in Orlando's Horizon West pocket — 3-car-garage luxury builds on pond-front lots, 2 miles from Disney, zoned for Windermere High.”
Built by Pulte between 2014 and 2019, Royal Estates occupies a quiet pocket of Horizon West off Reams Road, on the east side of Lake Mabel. The community sold out of new construction — every home on the 169-lot plat was absorbed before 2020. What remains is a mature, stabilized neighborhood where resale listings price from the mid-$900s and routinely clear $1.2M for the larger Kendelwood plans. The tradeoff versus an active new-construction community: no builder incentives, no build timeline, and no option customization — but you can be in a move-in-ready home in 60 days and skip the lottery for a lot.

What's included
Royal Estates was built under Pulte's Life Tested® design philosophy — floor plans shaped by research with actual homeowners to solve daily-life pain points. Standard features included 3-car garages (many tandem), open planning centers (homework/office nook), oversized laundry rooms, and large pantries. Most homes were delivered with private pools by Pulte's preferred pool contractors. Base inclusions varied by phase and lot; verify specific upgrades on any resale with the listing agent.
