About Hammock Pointe Neighborhood
Hammock Pointe is a thoughtfully designed neighborhood located in the southwest section of Clermont, developed by Taylor Morrison—one of the nation's most respected homebuilders. Built between 2011 and 2014, this non-gated community consists of approximately 110 single-family homes situated on Hammock Pointe Circle and surrounding streets off Hammock Ridge Road, just west of Highway 27. The neighborhood's defining characteristic is its oversized residential lots, typically ranging from 0.3 to 0.4 acres (13,000-17,500 square feet), providing far more space than typical modern suburban developments and allowing for privacy, mature landscaping, and room for pools and outdoor amenities.
Taylor Morrison constructed these homes using their popular floor plans including the Emerson, offering between 2,377 and 3,414 square feet of living space with 4-5 bedrooms and 3-4 bathrooms. Homes feature desirable split floor plans that place the master suite on one side of the first floor while secondary bedrooms occupy the opposite wing, providing privacy for both parents and children. Many homes include bonus rooms or lofts upstairs with their own full bathrooms, three-car garages, and premium upgrades such as granite countertops, 42-inch cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, high ceilings, walk-in closets, and outdoor living spaces. Several homes in Hammock Pointe have been enhanced with screened pools, extended patios, and upgraded finishes, reflecting the pride of ownership evident throughout the community.
The neighborhood is equipped with modern infrastructure including natural gas service and fiber optic connectivity, making it attractive for remote workers and families who value high-speed internet. Lake Minnehaha lies adjacent to the community, providing scenic water views for some properties and contributing to the peaceful, nature-oriented atmosphere. Conservation areas surrounding portions of the neighborhood ensure privacy and create natural buffers while preserving wildlife habitat.
One of Hammock Pointe's most significant advantages is the absence of Community Development District (CDD) fees—a rare benefit that can save homeowners $2,000-$5,000 or more annually compared to newer master-planned communities in the Clermont area. Combined with the moderate HOA fees and the quality construction from Taylor Morrison, Hammock Pointe offers exceptional value for families seeking spacious, well-built homes in an established neighborhood with a strong sense of community.

How Hammock Pointe Compares
Hammock Pointe offers exceptional value for homebuyers seeking established quality construction on larger lots without the burden of CDD fees. Built during the post-recession era (2011-2014), these Taylor Morrison homes feature modern design and finishes while avoiding the premium pricing and ongoing CDD assessments typical of brand-new construction. The neighborhood strikes an ideal balance between newer amenities and established character, providing move-in-ready homes with mature landscaping and a proven community atmosphere.
| Feature | Hammock Pointe | New Construction | Older Communities (1990s-2000s) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Typical Lot Size | 0.3-0.4 acres | 0.1-0.2 acres | 0.2-0.3 acres |

💡 Value Proposition: Hammock Pointe delivers the best of both worlds—relatively modern construction (2011-2014) with Taylor Morrison quality and thoughtful design, combined with no CDD fees and larger lots than new construction. Buyers avoid the $30,000-$80,000 price premium of brand-new homes while getting near-new condition, mature landscaping, and the financial benefit of no ongoing CDD assessments that can total $60,000-$150,000 over a typical 30-year mortgage.

Hammock Pointe HOA & CDD Information
Hammock Pointe has a mandatory Homeowners Association that maintains the community's common areas, pool and cabana facilities, landscaping along streets and entrances, and ensures the neighborhood maintains its attractive appearance and property values. The HOA is professionally managed and holds regular meetings to address community concerns and plan for future improvements. HOA fees are typically moderate compared to master-planned communities because there is no community clubhouse or extensive amenity package—keeping costs reasonable while still providing excellent pool facilities and common area maintenance.
Importantly, Hammock Pointe has no Community Development District (CDD) fees, which is a significant financial advantage. CDD fees in newer Clermont communities often range from $2,000 to $5,000 or more per year and continue for 20-30 years, potentially costing homeowners $60,000 to $150,000 over the life of a mortgage. The absence of CDD fees in Hammock Pointe translates to substantial long-term savings and more predictable housing costs.
