The Beginning Of Horizon West
Lakeside Village, anchored by a Publix Super Market, was the first in the late 1990s, followed by the first neighborhood, The Lakes of Windermere. In 2012, development of the Horizon West Town Center began, with the creation of the centerpiece Hamlin community of lakeside retail shops, restaurants and homes. The first school was opened in Lakeside Village in 2016, with Orange County Public Schools adding Bay Lake Elementary School to accommodate more than 800 students.
Horizon West Plans For The Community
This well-planned, incremental development has occurred based on the concept of town centers and surrounding villages. Eventually, it will consist of 5-7 mixed used villages surrounded by greenbelts and a town center known as the Hamlin at the center.The plan was conceived by land-use experts and property owners whose citrus groves had died. Walkability and green space throughout the community are significant factors. There are several walking and biking trails throughout the community today and we will continue to see more as it grows.
Health Facilities In The Area
The construction of an Orlando Health campus in Hamlin promises to bring even more growth. Scheduled to open in late 2018, the facility will include a freestanding emergency department and outpatient diagnostic and laboratory services. At present, Dr. Phillips Hospital (Orlando Health) and Florida Hospital Celebration Health are the closest facilities.
