Edgemont is a DR Horton community — America's largest homebuilder by annual closings, operating production lines across Express (entry-level), Freedom (mainstream), and Emerald (premium) tiers. DR Horton's scale means standardized build quality, a nationwide warranty network, and a consistent process that moves from contract to closing on a predictable timeline. In Lake County, DR Horton's production volume gives it one of the largest active inventory pools of any builder in the market.
DR Horton communities typically include a smart home technology package (Amazon Echo/Ring integration), DHI Mortgage preferred financing, and spec home inventory built ahead of demand — valuable for buyers with defined move-in timelines. The company's size also means it can absorb builder incentives (closing cost assistance, rate buydowns) as market conditions shift, making it a builder where incentive tracking pays dividends.
Edgemont is located in Clermont, Lake County — The Florida Turnpike and US-27 connect Lake County to the Orange County employment corridor. Clermont to downtown Orlando runs approximately 35–45 minutes off-peak; Minneola to I-4 via SR-429 is about 25 minutes. The area's employment and lifestyle context makes Clermont a practical choice for buyers who want Orlando proximity at more competitive new construction pricing.
Builder Incentives & Current Offerings
DR Horton offers frequent closing cost assistance through DHI Mortgage, and periodically moves spec inventory with 'all-in' pricing that includes appliances and design upgrades. Current incentive availability changes with inventory levels — a specialist can confirm what's available at Edgemont at the time of your visit.
Important: Register your buyer's agent before visiting the sales office — this step protects your right to professional representation at no cost to you.
