The $353/Month HOA — What It Buys
The HOA comparison that gets circulated — Horizons $353 vs. Del Webb Nexton $250 — is accurate but incomplete. The Horizons HOA provides access to the 26,000 sq ft Horizons Club (indoor and outdoor pools, fitness center, pickleball, tennis, bocce, dog park), plus the Summers Corner master plan amenities: Buffalo Lake (a 95-acre recreational lake), the Summers Corner Performing Arts Center, parks, greenways, and a developing town center. Whether lawn care is included in the Horizons HOA should be confirmed directly with Lennar — if it is, the comparison to Del Webb narrows significantly once you add the $100/month in lawn service that Del Webb communities require.
