Avalon Woods puts 183 Dream Finders homes on the western edge of Horizon West — three lot sizes, 16 floor plans, and prices from the low $550s to the high $800s, with models open and move-in ready inventory on the ground.

The community is west of Avalon Road in the Horizon West corridor — one of Orange County's fastest-growing master-planned areas. Drive times matter here: SR-429 puts Disney's back entrance 15 minutes south, downtown Winter Garden's brick streets about 10 minutes north, and the Hamlin Town Center shopping district is a 5-minute drive. The tradeoff is typical for Horizon West: newer infrastructure, newer schools, and longer commutes to downtown Orlando or the airport (about 35-40 minutes each). Home to three lot-size collections, Avalon Woods skews larger than most comparable communities — the 60-foot lots produce floor plans up to 4,024 sqft, which is uncommon in this price band.

What's included

Dream Finders offers a Design Studio customization process where buyers select finishes, countertops, cabinetry, and flooring packages from curated tiers rather than paying per-item upgrade fees. The base home includes energy-efficient construction with spray foam insulation, double-pane Low-E windows, and a programmable thermostat. Base price does not bundle appliances — kitchen appliance packages are an upgrade selection at the Design Studio. Verify current incentives with Ben; DFH has offered flex cash in the $50K-$85K range on select inventory.

Frequently asked about Avalon Woods

What floor plans does Avalon Woods offer?

Avalon Woods has 16 floor plans across three lot-width collections. The 40-foot series (Amelia, Berkley, Carter, Everly) ranges from 1,772 to 2,807 sqft starting in the $550s. The 50-foot series (Anna Maria, Biscayne, Anna Maria With Bonus, Captiva) runs 2,235 to 2,843 sqft from the $650s. The 60-foot series starts at $739,990 with the Arlington and goes up to the Prescott at 4,024 sqft. Ask Ben for current availability by plan and lot.

What schools does Avalon Woods feed into?

Avalon Woods is zoned for Orange County Public Schools. The community feeds Hamlin Elementary (directly adjacent on Silver Grove Blvd), Hamlin Middle School, and Horizon High School. OCPS has rezoned this area multiple times as Horizon West growth has accelerated — verify the current assignment at ocps.net before making an offer, especially for elementary-age children.

Is Avalon Woods a CDD community?

Based on available information, Avalon Woods does not appear to have a CDD. The community has an HOA (approximately $150/month managed by Empire Management Group) that covers common area maintenance. Confirm CDD status and exact HOA fees with the sales office or Ben before going under contract — this figure changes as the community builds out.

What amenities does Avalon Woods have?

Avalon Woods is a smaller, community-feel development — the on-site amenities are a park and playground rather than a resort pool complex. Residents are 5 minutes from Hamlin Town Center, which has a Cinemark, Planet Fitness, restaurants, and retail. The West Orange Trail for biking and walking is 10 minutes away.

Are homes still available at Avalon Woods?

Yes — Avalon Woods is actively selling as of May 2026 with models open. Dream Finders Homes has QMI (quick move-in) inventory available across all three lot series. Contact Ben for a current list of available lots, QMI homes, and any builder incentives in play. Pricing has shifted since the community opened and the listed ranges should be verified directly.
