The Future of Horizon West

As the area continues to grow and expand, residents are thankful for plans for a relief road that will help them access 429 S directly from Independence Parkway. This road will allow them to bypass local traffic and congestion caused by pick up and drop off at Bridgewater Middle and get to the local toll road faster and more effectively.

Another middle school is also in the planning stages, a welcomed addition that will address overcrowding issues at Bridgewater Middle. Along with the brand new middle school, the Horizon West community will also see another outdoor space and playground for residents to enjoy. Horizon West Regional Park will be a 220-acre recreational area that runs parallel to Tiny Rd, and west of Bridgewater Middle. The park will provide more ball fields for residents, but the goal is to create a space where locals can enjoy running trails, public art and meeting spaces.

Living in Summerport, Summerlake or Hamlin puts you minutes from Disney, the historic Downtown Winter Garden area and many other Central Florida hot spots. Whether you are looking for spacious apartments with top-of-the-line amenities or a luxury home on the water, you can find stunning real estate, exceptional facilities, and a close-knit community tucked around the lakes in Horizon West community.
