The latest report from StorageCafe confirms what many have suspected: Horizon West is one of the fastest-growing communities in the nation. Ranking 7th on their list, our community has seen a remarkable 234% increase in housing inventory over the past decade. This explosive growth is not just reshaping the residential landscape; it’s also driving unprecedented opportunities in Hamlin, the Town Center of Horizon West.

Hamlin is the commercial heartbeat of this thriving area, attracting numerous new businesses and investments. With its prime location and exceptional connectivity via State Road 429 and Wellness Way into Lake County, Hamlin offers unparalleled accessibility to both residents and visitors. The demand for residential properties has also spurred significant commercial development. Notable upcoming projects include a Dutch Bros coffee shop, a 25,000-square-foot retail building, an ABC Fine Wine & Spirits store, an Outback Steakhouse, and the first Orlando location of Agave Bandido, a contemporary Mexican restaurant and tequila bar located in the Lake District where Tiger Woods’ PopStroke concept is being built.

The surge in demand for residential properties has a cascading effect, bolstering the commercial real estate market. Retail and restaurant establishments in Hamlin are thriving, catering to the community’s increasing needs. Horizon West’s dynamic growth and Hamlin’s position as a central hub create a vibrant ecosystem for businesses to flourish.

As more families make Horizon West home, Hamlin continues to expand its offerings, ensuring that the Town Center remains the go-to destination for shopping, dining, and entertainment. The future looks bright for Hamlin, as it stands poised to benefit from the ongoing residential boom and the accompanying rise in commercial activity.
