About building new in Ocoee
Ocoee is the often-overlooked middle option in west Orange County — between Winter Garden's premium pricing and Apopka's growth-corridor pace. Schools are A-rated, the West Orange Trail runs through downtown, Bill Breeze Park anchors a small but improving downtown core, and the Florida Turnpike puts Walt Disney World 20 minutes south. Brightview builds scatter-lot new construction here in the $400K–$600K range.
Why buyers are choosing Ocoee
- Orange County A-rated schools — Ocoee High School, West Oaks Elementary, and Lakeview Middle.
- West Orange Trail — 22-mile paved trail through downtown Ocoee connecting to Winter Garden and Apopka.
- Florida Turnpike (exit 272) — Walt Disney World 20 minutes south, downtown Orlando 25 minutes east.
- Pricing typically 10–15% below Winter Garden for comparable lots and homes.
- Bill Breeze Park, Lakeshore Center, and downtown Ocoee revitalization drive new restaurant openings.

Ocoee new-home questions
Does Brightview Homes build new homes in Ocoee, FL?+
Yes. Brightview builds scatter-lot new construction homes in Ocoee and throughout Orange County. Whether you already own a lot or want us to find one, we build one of our 10 floor plans on an individual parcel rather than inside a master-planned subdivision — which is how you get new construction in established Ocoee neighborhoods.
How much does it cost to build a new home in Ocoee?+
Brightview base pricing starts at $269,990 for our Cambria and Tribeca plans (1,665 sq ft) and goes to $559,990 for the 3,479 sq ft Wellington Estate — all before lot cost and selections. Ocoee lot pricing and Orange County impact fees affect the all-in price. We'll give you an itemized, transparent quote specific to the lot and plan at consultation.
Does Brightview have available lots in Ocoee right now?+
