About Summerlake Neighborhood

Summerlake is one of the original villages that established Horizon West as one of the most desirable master-planned communities in Central Florida. Located in Winter Garden along Lake Hancock Road and Summerlake Park Boulevard, this community transformed what was once citrus groves into a family-focused neighborhood where resort-style living meets everyday convenience.

The community features over 1,000 homes ranging from cozy townhomes to expansive lakefront estates. Award-winning national builders created a diverse collection of floor plans that combine traditional Florida architecture with modern open-concept designs. Homes in Summerlake range from 1,395 to over 4,377 square feet, offering 3 to 6 bedrooms with various options including first-floor master suites, bonus rooms, and outdoor living spaces.

What truly sets Summerlake apart is its spectacular lakefront setting. The community wraps around three natural lakes—Lake Hancock, Ski Lake, and Saw Grass Lake—providing water views and access for many residents. The lakefront clubhouse serves as the community's social hub, featuring a state-of-the-art fitness center, aerobics room, and resort-style swimming pool with expansive sun deck. Wide sidewalks connect the neighborhood, encouraging families to walk or bike to the recreation center, playgrounds, and lakefront areas.

Summerlake's location just west of Walt Disney World Resort means many homes enjoy nightly views of the Disney fireworks—a unique lifestyle benefit that makes every evening feel like a celebration. The community is also ideally positioned near Hamlin Town Center, providing residents with walkable access to dining, shopping, and entertainment.
