Hamlin Meadows is a pre-selling Dream Finders Homes community in Horizon West offering rear-load townhomes from the high $420s and single-family homes on 40', 50', and 60' lots up to the low $770s — no CDD, ~$225/month HOA, within 7 miles of Disney's western entrance.

Hamlin Meadows sits inside Horizon West''s fast-growing Hamlin village, where Lake Hancock waterfront, the Hamlin Town Center, and 24 miles of trails are within walking or biking distance. Dream Finders is now pre-selling with first deliveries expected in late 2026. The no-CDD structure is unusual for Horizon West, where most master-planned communities carry CDD assessments of $1,500–$3,000/year — verify this before signing, as it can change before plat recordation. Pricing reflects early-phase positioning; expect increases as construction phases sell through.

What's included

Dream Finders does not bundle upgrades like Lennar''s Everything''s Included program. Standard features typically cover a builder-grade appliance package, one design-center selection allowance, and smart-home pre-wiring. Structural options (bonus rooms, covered lanais) and finish upgrades (premium flooring, quartz countertops) are priced separately at the Design Studio. Budget 5–10% above base price for a comfortable finish level.

Location

SR-429 (Western Beltway) is the primary artery with an interchange at Hamlin Groves Trail/Avalon Road. Rush-hour stacking toward I-4 is the main commuter friction. Publix anchors Hamlin Town Center for daily grocery; nearest Whole Foods is in Dr. Phillips (~20 min). Horizon West trail network connects directly to the site for cycling commutes to the Town Center.

Frequently asked about Hamlin Meadows

Does Hamlin Meadows have a CDD fee?

Based on pre-sales disclosure, Hamlin Meadows does not have a CDD (Community Development District) assessment. This is a meaningful differentiator in Horizon West, where many master-planned communities add $1,500–$3,000/year in CDD fees on top of HOA dues. Verify this with Dream Finders before signing — pre-selling disclosures can change before plat recordation.

What is the HOA fee at Hamlin Meadows?

HOA is approximately $225/month as of pre-sales disclosure. This covers common area and community park maintenance. Townhome buyers should confirm whether a sub-association fee applies for rear-load alley maintenance. Exact amounts are set at plat recordation — confirm current figures with Ben or the sales team.

What floor plan series does Hamlin Meadows offer?

Four product lines: Townhomes (3BR, 1,644–1,729 sqft, from $430K), 40-foot Series (3–4BR, 1,772–2,807 sqft, from $497K), 50-foot Series (3–4BR, 2,235–2,843 sqft, from $612K), and 60-foot Series (4–5BR, 2,726–3,550 sqft, from $702K). The range within one community is useful for buyers who plan to upsize later without relocating.

What schools does Hamlin Meadows feed into?

Orange County Public Schools: Hamlin Elementary, Hamlin Middle School (ranked in Florida''s top 200; 90%+ Algebra 1 proficiency), and Horizon High School. All three are relatively new, built specifically for Horizon West''s growth wave. Verify current attendance boundaries at ocps.net before making an offer — Horizon West boundary lines have shifted as enrollment grows.

When will homes be ready at Hamlin Meadows?

The community is pre-selling as of mid-2026 with first deliveries expected in late 2026. Contact Ben for current inventory status and individual homesite completion estimates — Dream Finders updates construction timelines as each phase moves through permitting and vertical construction.
