About Hamlin Reserve Neighborhood
Hamlin Reserve stands as one of the most desirable neighborhoods in Horizon West's Hamlin village area. Built between 2017 and 2019 by acclaimed homebuilder Ashton Woods, this master-planned community offers an exceptional combination of beautiful homes, resort-style amenities, and a remarkable natural setting that includes walking trails, scenic boardwalks, and direct connections to Lake Hancock.

Townhome buyers can choose from eight distinct floor plans ranging from approximately 1,570 to 2,000 square feet with 2-3 bedrooms.

Both one-story and two-story configurations are available, including homes with alley-entry garages, front-entry garages, and split three-car side-entry options.

The community amenity center features a resort-style swimming pool, modern clubhouse, children's playground, and picnic areas perfect for community gatherings. Multiple parks and open green spaces dot the neighborhood, while a dedicated dog park ensures four-legged family members have their own space to play. The crown jewel is the network of trails and boardwalks that wind through the community, eventually connecting residents to the waterfront marina and the 100-acre Lake Hancock.
