The Most Affordable New Construction in Winter Park

In a market defined by rising costs and optional upgrades, Sojourn at Idlewild stands apart. We believe luxury shouldn't be an "add-on." We are delivering the most affordable new construction in Winter Park without cutting corners. By optimizing our designs and prioritizing what matters—such as hardwood floors, solid-surface counters, and smart layouts—we offer a home that lives better and costs less than the competition, setting a higher standard for new homes in Winter Park.

Winter Park Real Estate Comparison

As you can see, the difference is in the details. While other developments might lure you into buying a new home with a low base price, the cost of "necessary upgrades" for premium finishes, lot premiums for views, and lack of transportation can add up quickly. At Sojourn, we include the features that matter most—luxury finishes, optimized views, and direct bus access—standard in every home.  

The Financial Edge: Why New Builds in Winter Park Save You Money

No HOA Dues & Lower Operating Costs

Unlike most Winter Park developments that charge high monthly dues for amenities you might not use, we keep it simple. With no HOA dues, you save hundreds per month, putting money back in your pocket for adventures.

Energy Efficiency for the High Alpine

Our homes are engineered for the specific demands of the Fraser Valley climate, offering a level of efficiency you simply won't find in older properties. This performance is a key advantage of choosing our Winter Park new builds.

What Makes Our Winter Park New Builds So Special

Built for Your Gear: Private Garages & Smart Storage

We know you didn't move to the mountains to sit on the couch. That’s why our homes are designed with the active lifestyle in mind. Every townhome includes a private, insulated garage—perfect for storing bikes, kayaks, and boards. Whether you own your own gear or need to rent skis at Christy Sports, you'll have ample space to store everything securely without cluttering your living room.

Designed for Light & Views: The Fraser Valley Advantage

Mountain living is all about the sun. Unlike other density-focused developments, our site plan is intentionally designed with East-West facing homes. This orientation maximizes natural light and captures the stunning peaks of the Continental Divide, ensuring you truly experience connected mountain living.
