Rainwood

Rainwood draws first-time buyers and remote workers who want Mattamy Homes new construction in the hills of Groveland without the Horizon West or Clermont price premium. The mix of single-family homes and townhomes across varied lot sizes keeps the neighborhood diverse in a way that single-product developments rarely achieve.

The employment anchor is the Florida Turnpike and U.S. 27 corridor, which puts the theme park employment belt — Disney, Universal, and everything along International Drive — within a manageable commute from Groveland's western edge, separating Rainwood from Lake County communities that look affordable on paper but add an hour to your daily drive.

What makes the housing stock distinctive is Mattamy's "New Suburbanism" philosophy: homes face parks and green spaces, townhomes and single-family lots share the same streets, and a 20-acre conservation easement preserves on-site wetlands. You're not buying a house in a subdivision — you're buying into a neighborhood with a pedestrian framework.

Buyers cross-shopping Rainwood typically compare it to Horizon West communities in the 40-foot lot range and to other new-construction villages along U.S. 27 in Clermont. Rainwood wins on lot diversity, Mattamy's pedestrian-oriented site plan, and the distinctive hill topography that sets Groveland apart from the flat stretches of the broader metro.
