About Horizon West
Horizon West is a master-planned community in unincorporated southwest Orange County, built under a village concept the county adopted in 1995 after 1980s freezes ended commercial citrus growing on the land. Five mixed-use villages — Bridgewater, Lakeside Village, Hickory Nut, Seidel, and Ovation — surround a Town Center being developed as Hamlin, each village ringed by greenbelts. Its population grew from about 14,000 in 2010 to 58,101 at the 2020 census, making it one of the fastest-growing communities in the United States.
