Hickory Grove

Hickory Grove draws a specific kind of buyer: the dual-income household that wants brand-new construction, a low-maintenance lifestyle, and a Seminole County address — without paying the CDD premium that shadows so many new communities in the Orlando metro. Mattamy Homes built this townhome enclave inside the Winter Springs Town Center, which means retail, dining, and everyday errands are steps from the front porch rather than a highway exit away.

The commute anchors here are strong. The UCF and Research Park corridor is roughly 15 minutes east, the Sanford and Lake Mary employment hub — home to financial services firms and corporate campuses — is 15 to 20 minutes north, and downtown Orlando is within practical reach on SR-417. That geographic positioning keeps Hickory Grove relevant to a wide slice of Greater Orlando's professional workforce.

What makes the housing stock stand out is the combination of rear-load garages and front porches — a design choice that puts neighbors facing the street instead of a sea of garage doors. The townhome format, paired with an HOA that covers the roof, exterior paint, internet, and landscaping, removes the friction of homeownership that deters first-time buyers and time-pressed professionals alike.

Buyers cross-shopping Hickory Grove typically consider other Seminole County townhome communities in the Altamonte Springs corridor — but the new-construction condition, no-CDD structure, and Town Center walkability typically bring them back here.
