About Silverleaf Oaks Neighborhood
Silverleaf Oaks represents one of the most compelling new home opportunities in Horizon West, combining Pulte Homes' trusted quality with the significant financial advantage of no Community Development District (CDD) fees. Located within the 563-acre Silverleaf mixed-use development in the heart of the Hamlin district, this 766-home community began sales in 2024 and offers a diverse mix of townhomes, bungalows, and single-family residences.
Pulte Homes, with over 70 years of homebuilding experience and more than 775,000 homes delivered nationwide, brings their Life Tested® design philosophy to Silverleaf Oaks. Homes range from 1,553 to 3,643 square feet across three distinct series: the Townhome Series on rear-load lots, the Bungalow Series on 34-foot homesites, and the Classic Series on 50-foot lots offering full structural and style personalization.
The community's resort-style amenity package sets it apart, featuring a large swimming pool with cabana, children's playground, scenic walking trails, and a dedicated dog park. These amenities, combined with the absence of CDD fees, provide exceptional value compared to many newer Horizon West communities where CDD assessments can add $2,000-$5,000 or more annually to housing costs.
Silverleaf Oaks' prime location puts residents just minutes from Hamlin Town Center with its restaurants, retail, and entertainment options.
