Hi I’m real estate broker and attorney at law David Dowell. I’m very fortunate to be a resident of Horizon West and am able to enjoy all that this area offers. Everyone whose looking for a home in this area has heard so much about it but most people don’t quite understand what Horizon West is. It’s not a city, it’s not one big subdivision, there’s no road sign or other saying you are entering Horizon West. Instead, it’s a collection of several different communities, all planned together. Some residents have a Windermere address while others have a Winter Garden address.

This is a community in southwest Orange County, Florida, on the north side of the Magic Kingdom. And it covers over 38 square miles! 35 years ago, this land was nothing but orange groves. And most of these groves were destroyed in the freezing winters of the late 1980s, which absolutely devastated the industry here. So around 1994, the property owners in the area decided they needed to come up with some other use for this property. So they got together and started to develop a master plan for the area.

The design for Horizon West segmented the community into 6 unique villages. Each village would have a centralized commercial space, designed to be within walking distance to large portions of the local area. In addition, a larger Town Center would house the larger commercial needs of the area. This concept has been realized and can be clearly seen in each village. The villages of Horizon West are:

The area is experiencing incredibly rapid expansion due to the desirability of the area; including the schools, weather, attractions, and new amenities. Throughout much of the Horizon West area, communities and houses can view nightly fireworks from Disney’s Magic Kingdom. At approximately 60% complete, the current population is about 50,000 people and will become home to more than 90,000 residents when completed. 

The government of Horizon West is unincorporated Orange County, but falls within the zip codes of Windermere and Winter Garden, 34786 and 34787. Therefore most residents simply state they live in either of these cities, as no addresses include Horizon West as their city. Horizon West receives all government services through Orange County, including schools, Sheriff’s Office, library system, and solid waste.
