Heathrow Woods is a 24-hour guard-gated community in Lake Mary, FL, located directly off Markham Woods Road and known for its custom estate homes on generously sized lots. Despite sitting directly across from Heathrow’s entrance, Heathrow Woods is a separate, independently-gated community with its own guard gate and HOA, offering residents a quieter, more secluded alternative within one of Lake Mary’s most desirable corridors. Deed restrictions help preserve the neighborhood’s upscale, cohesive character throughout.
Heathrow Woods homes were built primarily between 1992 and 2005, with most lots sized around an acre or more — some considerably larger — giving the community an estate-like feel that’s increasingly rare this close to Lake Mary’s city conveniences.
Heathrow Woods offers some of the larger custom homes in the Markham Woods Road corridor, with the vast majority of homes in the community featuring a private pool — a defining feature of the neighborhood’s resort-style backyard living. Many homes also include a fireplace, a detail that adds a touch of unexpected character for Central Florida. Construction throughout the community is a mix of masonry and wood frame/concrete block, reflecting the custom-built nature of the homes and the variety of builders who worked in the neighborhood over the years.
