About Chalfont Neighborhood
Chalfont occupies a quiet, tree-shaded pocket on the northwest side of Hunter's Creek, bounded by the Shingle Creek conservation area along its northern and western edges and by the Heather Glen village to the south. The 163-home neighborhood was established in December 1996 and built out through 2000, primarily by Morrison Homes and Lennar (with some Olympia Homes contribution) — builders who were active across the broader master plan during that development window.
Homes in Chalfont are contemporary single-family residences designed with growing families in mind, many on larger-than-average lots for this section of Hunter's Creek. Floor plans typically run three to five bedrooms, with two-car garages, screened lanais, and a meaningful portion of the inventory featuring private pools. The defining characteristic for buyers is the conservation backdrop: because the neighborhood sits on the community's outer edge rather than an interior block, a large share of homesites face green space instead of neighboring rooftops.
Chalfont is non-gated but benefits from its end-of-the-line geography — the only way in is off Town Loop Boulevard, which keeps through-traffic effectively at zero. The neighborhood has an active social culture typical of older Hunter's Creek villages, with residents participating in the community-wide Women's Association, running club, and the four signature annual events put on by the Hunter's Creek Community Association.

Chalfont Amenities & Lifestyle
Life in Chalfont is defined by two things: the conservation edge at your back fence and full access to everything Hunter's Creek built into its master plan — seven community parks, the championship-quality Hunter's Creek Golf Club, a freestanding HCA Florida emergency room, and the three-part retail ecosystem of the Promenade, Plaza, and Village along John Young Parkway.

- HCCA community events throughout the year (Bunny in the Park, Fourth of July, Fall Festival, Hunter's Creep)

How Chalfont Compares
Chalfont's closest peers inside Hunter's Creek are the other late-1990s single-family villages — Chelsea Landing (1993–1998) and Heather Glen immediately to the south. The decision usually comes down to lot character: Chalfont buyers are specifically chasing the conservation-backing lots, whereas Chelsea Landing offers walkable proximity to schools and Osprey Park and Heather Glen offers a mix of product types.
| Feature | Chalfont | Chelsea Landing | Heather Glen |
|---|---|---|---|
| Home Count | 163 | 90 | Larger village with mixed product |
| Year Built | 1996–2000 | 1993–1998 | Late 1990s onward |
| Gated | No | No | No (Colonial Grand enclave gated) |
| Product Type | Single-family only | Single-family only | Mixed: single-family & townhomes |
| Defining Feature | Shingle Creek conservation backing | Cul-de-sac layout, school-walkable | Product variety, shopping-adjacent |
| CDD Fee | No | No | No |
💡 Value Proposition: Chalfont's pitch is simple and specific: late-1990s-built single-family homes with a large share of conservation-backing lots, at a price point meaningfully below the gated interior villages of Hunter's Creek — and still inside the 32837 ZIP code with all the master-plan amenities, schools, and SR 417 access that come with it.

Chalfont HOA & CDD Information
Chalfont residents pay two separate HOA assessments: a sub-association fee for the Chalfont neighborhood itself and the master association fee for the Hunter's Creek Community Association, which funds the seven community parks, community-wide events, and perimeter landscaping. Chalfont is not a CDD-backed community, which differentiates it from many newer Central Florida developments that layer Community Development District assessments on top of the tax bill.
💰 HOA Fees & Management Contact
HOA fees and management company information change over time. Please contact us and we will be happy to provide you with the current Chalfont sub-association fee, the Hunter's Creek master association fee, payment schedules, and direct contact information for both management companies. We can also check for any current or upcoming special assessments.
📋 What HOA Fees Typically Cover
- Common area landscaping and entrance maintenance within Chalfont
- Hunter's Creek master association amenities: parks, community events, perimeter landscaping
- Deed restriction enforcement and architectural review
- Shared street lighting and signage
- Reserve funding for future capital projects
- Community communications and HOA administration
