Cresswind at Hammock Oaks

Cresswind at Hammock Oaks is a brand-new gated 55+ active adult community by Kolter Homes in Lady Lake, Florida, situated less than three miles from The Villages along East County Road 466 between Cherry Lake Road and Rolling Acres Road. Opened for sales in spring 2025, the community is planned for more than 800 single-story homes at buildout and is Kolter's second active adult community in Lake County and the fourth Cresswind-branded community in Central Florida. The home collection features 13 floorplans across three series, ranging from 1,434 to 3,932 square feet with 2 to 5 bedrooms, and every plan offers at least 25 structural options — expanded garages, second owner suites, bonus rooms, optional second-floor flex space, and hundreds of finish choices through Kolter's on-site Design Studio. This 'Built Around You' approach gives buyers far more personalization than a typical production-built active adult home, while keeping the efficiency and warranty benefits of new construction. Pricing currently runs roughly from the high $300s to the mid $700s depending on plan, homesite, and options, with the community's monthly HOA set around $362 plus an annual CDD assessment. Lifestyle centers on Club Cresswind, the resident-only amenity campus anchored by a state-of-the-art clubhouse. Inside, residents have access to the Cresswind SmartFIT Training Center powered by EGYM — a connected fitness system that personalizes resistance training and tracks progress across workouts — plus event and game rooms, an arts and crafts studio, and flexible gathering spaces. Outside, the campus includes a resort-style pool and sundeck, pickleball and tennis courts, a dog park, a community garden, walking trails, and an outdoor event area. Programming is run by a full-time Lifestyle Director and built around Cresswind's national 'Set Yourself FREE' platform — Fitness, Relationships, Education, and Entertainment — with resident clubs, classes, and social events filling the calendar. The Lady Lake location puts residents inside Central Florida's retirement corridor without the scale or sticker price of The Villages itself. Daily shopping is minutes away at La Plaza Grande West (Publix), Target, Winn-Dixie, The Fresh Market, ALDI, BJ's Wholesale Club, and a Walmart Supercenter, all within about seven miles. UF Health The Villages Hospital East Campus is roughly four miles from the front gate, with AdventHealth The Villages and an HCA Florida Trailwinds ER also nearby. Leesburg sits just south, Ocala is about a half-hour north, and Orlando's theme parks, cultural attractions, and Orlando International Airport are roughly an hour's drive southeast via US-27/441. The setting is quiet and car-dependent but close to everything — a more intimate alternative for buyers who want Villages-area convenience in a smaller, self-contained community.
