Welcome to Hawksmoor, a standout community in Winter Garden's Horizon West area developed by Mattamy Homes. Built between 2018 and 2022, Hawksmoor blends modern design with resort-like living, making it a compelling option in a region that's seen steady growth amid Florida's evolving market.

1. Introduction to Hawksmoor Community

Hawksmoor emerged as part of Horizon West's master-planned expansion in the late 2010s, reflecting a shift toward thoughtfully designed suburbs in Central Florida. Developed by Mattamy Homes, the community draws inspiration from Frank Lloyd Wright's prairie-style architecture, incorporating midcentury modern and craftsman elements like clean lines, natural materials, and integrated outdoor spaces. This aesthetic appeals to modern buyers seeking a blend of functionality and style, differentiating it from more traditional Orlando-area developments.

Hawksmoor is now fully sold out for new construction, with only resale move-in options available. Home types include townhomes and single-family residences, typically featuring 3-5 bedrooms, 2-4.5 bathrooms, and sizes ranging from 1,599 to 4,645 square feet. Current market values have climbed significantly due to regional demand—quick move-ins or resales often list from $425,000 to over $1 million.

Amenities and Lifestyle Features

Hawksmoor's resort-style amenities elevate everyday living, key features include an infinity-edge swimming pool with water views, a kid's splash pad, a modern clubhouse, a fully equipped fitness center, a yoga lawn, a playground and tot lot, an outdoor summer kitchen, a shaded pavilion, a network of walking trails, and preserved wetlands with park spaces.

These elements integrate Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired design, such as harmonious landscaping that blends with natural wetlands, promoting eco-consciousness—appealing to retirees or wellness-focused adults who value sustainability (e.g., reduced water usage via native plants). Families benefit from child-centric spots like the playground, where community events like movie nights foster social bonds. Adults might join fitness classes or trail walks, enhancing mental health in a post-pandemic era prioritizing outdoor activity.

Recent Market Activity: Sales and Pending in the Last 180 Days

From July 23, 2025, to January 19, 2026, Hawksmoor saw moderate activity with about 15-20 sales and pendings, aligning with a cooling yet stable Central Florida market where Winter Garden's overall sales dipped 5% YoY but prices held firm. Average sale prices ranged $500,000-$800,000, with townhomes at the lower end and single-family homes higher. Trends show a balanced market: Days on market (DOM) averaged 60-90, with occasional bidding wars on entry-level properties but price reductions (5-10%) on over-$700k listings amid rising inventory (up 10% citywide).

Here's a summary table of key transactions (based on MLS data from Zillow, Redfin, and local sources; note: some details approximate due to privacy):
