In addition to their own future mixed-use commercial village center, residents of this Horizon West village will have easy access to the offerings coming to Disney-owned Flamingo Crossings® Town Center. Once fully developed, Hickory Nut (sometimes still seen referred to as Village H) will have up to 6,548 residences.

Zip Codes are Nothing But Numbers—Horizon West is Our Hometown!

By Horizon West Magazine • September 2, 2020
Horizon West is not in the city limits of Winter Garden, Windermere or Orlando. Residents receive their mail through the existing post offices within each of these towns, which is why our mailing addresses include the city name and zip code in it. Horizon West is in unincorporated Orange County so all utility and garbage services are provided by the county - not the city your mailing address includes.
