Welcome to Tour Tuesday, where we highlight the communities capturing the hearts of buyers moving to the Disney area.
Today we’re focusing on Ovation—an emerging lifestyle corridor nestled in Horizon West, just minutes from Walt Disney World. While newer to the scene than neighborhoods like Hamlin or Independence, Ovation is quickly becoming one of the most desirable zones for buyers who want future-forward homes, walkability, and connection.
This isn’t just another neighborhood.
It’s a thoughtfully planned district built for how families live today.
📍 Where Is Ovation?
Ovation is located at the southern end of Horizon West, bordered by Avalon Road and Flamingo Crossings. This means it’s:
- 🚗 ~15 minutes to Magic Kingdom & EPCOT
- 🛍️ ~10 minutes to Hamlin Town Center
- 🏫 Within top-rated school zones (including the new Panther Lake Elementary & Horizon High)
- 🍽️ Just minutes to dining, shopping, and soon-to-be-open grocery hubs
As Flamingo Crossings expands, this area is on track to become one of Central Florida’s most vibrant suburban-urban blends.
🧱 What Is Being Built in Ovation?
Ovation includes a growing mix of single-family homes, townhomes, and 55+ communities, with a master plan that emphasizes:
- Walkability
- Green space
- Access to everyday amenities
- Energy-efficient, tech-forward construction
- Multiple entry points to reduce congestion and ease school drop-offs
Some featured communities in or adjacent to Ovation include:
- EverBe by Pulte – A large-scale master-planned neighborhood with modern amenities and multi-gen floorplans
- Del Webb Oasis (55+) – A luxury, age-targeted gated enclave with clubhouse, fitness, pool, and social life built-in
- Emerson Pointe at Ovation – Boutique builds with open layouts, smart-home tech, and designer finishes
- Winding Bay Preserve – A natural retreat with conservation views and oversized lots
🏘️ Why Buyers Are Flocking Here
Buyers are loving Ovation for three big reasons:
- Location without congestion – Close to Disney but less tourist-heavy than other nearby zones
- Master-planned for real life – Sidewalks, trails, school access, and spaces that encourage community
- Value + appreciation potential – Many homes are still in early pricing phases compared to mature neighborhoods like Hamlin or Windermere
And as commercial development follows the residential boom, Ovation will only get more desirable.
👨👩👧👦 Who Should Consider Ovation?
- Families relocating from out of state who want new schools, new homes, and room to grow
- Remote workers and Disney professionals who want proximity + peace
- Buyers priced out of Windermere or Hamlin looking for similar quality at better value
- 55+ adults looking to retire near family but live independently with full amenities
