Where Horizon West is building
Horizon West is still one of the busiest new construction corridors in Florida. In September 2026 we priced ten communities straight from the builders’ own sites.
The builders: Toll Brothers, Pulte, Dream Finders, Taylor Morrison, M/I Homes, Ashton Woods, RockWell Homes, D.R. Horton and Del Webb. Advertised starting prices run from $401,990 to $669,995, the highest advertised start in the table, and the activity clusters in two places.
Around Hamlin. In Hamlin, the town center village, Dream Finders is selling Hamlin Meadows, townhomes up to 60 foot homesites, minutes from the town center.
In Ovation. South of it, the Ovation master plan has become the corridor’s biggest story: six builders selling side by side, from Dream Finders townhomes at Serenade at Ovation from $401,990 to Toll Brothers’ Retreat collection at Westhaven from $669,995.
How the villages, schools and commutes fit together is in our Horizon West guide.
Communities and prices
These are advertised base prices, checked on September 15, 2026 on each builder’s own site. The number you actually pay adds the lot premium and the design center, and subtracts whatever incentive the builder is running that month.
If a builder’s site would not give us a price we could verify, the community is not in this table.

What changed since August 2026
We checked every builder again on September 15. Most starting prices held. These are the moves.
The five changes since August
-
A new floor at Serenade at Ovation
Dream Finders lists townhomes at Serenade at Ovation from $401,990, the lowest advertised price in this guide, with bungalows from $498,990 and 50 foot homes from $577,990. It was not in our August guide.
-
A new phase at Waterleigh
D.R. Horton shows a new phase open at Waterleigh, with homes from $436,990. RockWell Homes also lists townhomes at Harvest at Ovation from $440,900. Both are new to the table.
-
Final opportunities at Northlake
RockWell Homes marks its single family homes at Northlake at Ovation as final opportunities, from $645,900. Next door, Ashton Woods moved its Northlake townhome base from $428,490 to $429,990, and lists traditional homes from $648,990 and estate homes from $820,990.
-
Del Webb Oasis is by appointment
Del Webb lists Oasis as by appointment only, still from $416,990. Call before you drive out.
-
Two communities left the table
Meritage has taken down its Silverleaf Reserve and Silverleaf Reserve Bungalows community pages. DRB’s site would not give us a starting price we could verify for Parkview at Hamlin, so its August price is not carried forward.
Unchanged since August: Toll Brothers at Westhaven, Pulte at Silverleaf Oaks, Dream Finders at Hamlin Meadows and Avalon Woods, Taylor Morrison at Harvest at Ovation, and M/I Homes at Lake Star at Ovation.
What buyers say
“I was totally amazed with Vlad and my search for a dream home. He was honest, cordial and very informative. I never felt pressured or rushed.”
Before you visit a model home
Five things we tell every new construction buyer, ideally before the first sales office visit.
-
Your first visit decides your representation
Builders register you on the first visit. Walk in alone and the friendly agent in the model, who works for the builder, becomes the only professional in your deal. Bring us and it typically costs you nothing extra: most builders pay our fee, and we confirm that in writing up front.
-
The base price is an invitation, not a number
The advertised price buys the base floor plan on the cheapest lot. A usable lot and a realistic design center package routinely add tens of thousands. Ask for the full price sheet with lot premiums before you fall for a floor plan, and budget from that number, not the banner.
-
Incentives are where the real negotiation lives
Horizon West builders rarely cut base prices; they compete through incentives, usually rate buydowns or closing costs tied to their in-house lender. Some months that package is worth taking, some months an outside lender beats it. We run that math against the current offers, not last quarter’s.
-
Inspect it anyway
New does not mean flawless, and county inspections are not a substitute for your own. We tell every new construction buyer to pay for independent inspections at pre-drywall and again before closing. Finding a problem while the builder still owns it is the cheapest repair you will ever get.
-
Compare against the three year old resale
The same floor plan a street over, three years old, often comes with the fence, blinds, gutters and landscaping the design center charges dearly for. Some months the resale wins, some months the builder’s incentive flips it. We run both before you commit to either. Established resale villages like Summerlake are the usual comparison.
New construction questions
Still wondering about something? Ask us directly or call (813) 992-3073.
What does new construction cost in Horizon West in 2026?
As of September 2026, advertised starting prices run from $401,990 for Dream Finders townhomes at Serenade at Ovation to $669,995 for Toll Brothers’ Retreat collection at Westhaven at Ovation, the highest advertised start in the table. Seven of the ten communities we priced start between $416,990 and $440,900. Lot premiums and design center choices add to the advertised base.
Which builders are active in Horizon West?
Toll Brothers, Pulte Homes, Dream Finders, Taylor Morrison, M/I Homes, Ashton Woods, RockWell Homes, D.R. Horton and Del Webb all publish starting prices for Horizon West communities as of September 2026. The heaviest concentration is in the Ovation master plan, where six builders sell side by side.
Do I pay more if I bring my own agent to a builder?
Typically no. Many Horizon West builders offer buyer-agent compensation, and the purchase price does not change; we confirm it in our written buyer agreement before your first visit. What changes is who is negotiating: without your own agent, the only licensed professional in the transaction represents the builder. The catch is registration, since most builders require your agent to accompany or register you on the first visit, so call us before you go, not after.
Is there 55+ new construction in Horizon West?
Yes. Del Webb Oasis is the corridor’s active 55+ community, with advertised pricing from $416,990 as of September 2026 and showings by appointment only, resort amenities, and the same Disney-adjacent location the rest of Horizon West trades on.
Should I use the builder’s preferred lender?
Sometimes. Builder incentives are usually conditional on their in-house or preferred lender, and the package can be worth real money. But the rate and fees still have to compete. We have buyers get a full quote from an outside lender and compare total cost over your realistic hold period, then take whichever wins.
