Hunter's Creek Real Estate

All right so Dylan number one place in all of Central Florida that our subscribers and people that comment on my videos say that we have to cover is Hunter's Creek y you know something a little bit about Hunter Creek I do here myself all right so today let's go around and show them where Hunter Creek is why somebody might want to live here maybe some of the real estates and compare some of the different areas between Hunters Creek and other places here in Central Florida sounds good let's do it

Location and Accessibility

Right so first off where is Hunter Creek so believe it or not one of my favorite things about Hunter Creek in general is accessibility location location location if you drive 15 minutes to the east you're in Lake Nona if you drive 20 minutes to the West you're in either theme park 10 minutes south you're in CMI and 25 minutes north you're in downtown so it doesn't really get much better than that you've got the 417 the turnpike and the 528 within 5 minutes so why is this such a like hidden kind of thing right like when people move to Orlando they don't automatically say like Hunter Creek right it's all the other things that usually they mention what else why why is that so it it flies under the radar quite a bit and I think the reason is the real estate when you've got so much new development happening around Hunter Creek which was built in the late ' 80s into the '90s and even the early 2000s it doesn't quite have the lore of an area like celebration

Real Estate Appeal

And so what's the big appeal uh one of the things that people love about Hunters Creek is that homeowners have been here a while the percentage of original owners or second owners is through the roof compared to a lot of other areas the downside which is why it does fly under the radar a little bit is that the real estate kind of reflects that there's not as much modern there hasn't been as much turnover you won't see as much renovation here in Hunter Creek so if that's something that's important to you you might find yourself looking elsewhere so's stick on the the real estate piece then so if somebody wants to buy a house here it is a little bit more affordable than say Lake Nona celebration some of the other more popular ones yeah absolutely so your average price point here is going to be anywhere between 5 and 600,000 depending on what type of product you're after yeah let's go take a look at maybe a couple houses let's do it

First Home Tour

All right first house number one what do we got so today we are in bradic Lake tucked back in the deepest depths of Hunter Creek uh this is a really wellestablished area this home was built in the late '90s this is about what you can expect out of a home that's been remodeled here in Hunter Creek it's a four bed 3700 ft it's been listed just over a million dollars this is what we got take a look so coming in uh really nice home like I said 3700 ft² so we've got a lot to work with here right off to the right hand side is the office of the flex space you've got a formal dining the living room over here this whole home has been renovated top to bottom flooring drywall repairs paint kitchen's been upgraded you name it

Renovation Highlights

One of the things that I really love is the view out back here off of your primary living space one of the things that you'll notice is that this home being built in the late '90s kind of takes on some of that Northeast tradition cuz a lot of people came down from the Northeast L of of separated and Liv and so you get that feel in here as well I love the split floor plan as well with the primary and the office on this side all the other ancillary on that side so you got the kids put them on with that side right exactly let's go take a look outside cuz I think this is fantastic let's do it

Outdoor Living

This is a huge covered space and the fact that they've got this large of a pool plus a yard is not something you see all the time here in Central Florida yeah so we're sitting on just about a third of an maker here usually you have the pool or the lot but you don't have both if you get one of them and so one of the things that I love about Hunter streak in general is that you're going to find these larger lot sizes that's the nature of a community built in the ' 80s and '90s you got larger Lots one of the things that I love in particular though is that a lot of lots in Hunter Creek because the Landscaping has had so much time to mature is that you're going to find a lot more privacy in the Lots versus some of the newer communities yeah I love this like back space over here where you've got the living and then the kitchen it's kind of tied away from the house it's definitely a different feel than what you may see today

Renovated Interiors

I like the renovations in here a lot this is about what you can expect if you have the budget to accommodate a renovation purchase and you're not going to do the work yourself this has been reworked from top to bottom new flooring new Cabinetry new countertops new appliances um they did a really good job in here so if you're not in the budget for remodel home with a pool on a third of an acre is there something maybe a little bit less expensive we can see I've got something a little bit more affordable all right let's take a look

Golf Course Controversy

All right so let's talk about maybe a little controversy what's going on with the golf course here in Hunter Creek yeah so uh homeowners here haven't been super thrilled over the years it's written in the HOA uh rules and regulations bylaws that the HOA will keep a well-maintained public golf course that hasn't been the case the golf course has been been shut down for quite a few years now um it was a public course maybe wasn't generating enough Revenue but the HOA put the gabos on it there's been some litigation uh as to whether or not they're going to open that back up to the public a private company has been in discussions about purchasing that land and so yet to be seen what's going to actually happen

HOA and Community

Yeah it's interesting I look at online well the bright line was going to come through Hunter Creek Y and the homeowners here put a kabash on that really quick and then the golf course is going to be turned into something maybe like Apartments maybe who knows like a lot of different things and the homeowners here put the kabash on that so you say that the residents are pretty active and what do they think of the HOA yeah the residents are really uh intertwined with one another there a really big presence of community here and despite all of the controversy with the golf course the HOA has a pretty good reputation here they do a really good job upkeeping the community um and so um there's not a lot to complain about property values have stayed put because of that and I think homeowners are happy as a result

Second Home Tour

Speaking of homeowners and property values what do we got on our second house here so I think this is a better representation of what to expect out of a lot of the inventory even though it's very limited here in Hunter Creek this is a home that's a fraction of the price of the previous one but doesn't have the renovations and so you're going to have to purchase this you get the lot you get the pool in the $700,000 mark uh but you got to put a little bit of work in all right let's take a look at inside let's go

Original Condition Home

So like I said this is kind of a representation of what you can expect out of a lot of the inventory here pretty original yeah pretty original so the house was built in 2003 it's a great home it's got great bones but it's got original for mic countertops uh the cabinets that came with the house appliances that are probably from 03 as well and the flooring is a good reflection of that as well now despite that this is on over a third of an acre uh and it's a pool home and so you're in a great location you've got a you know great bones a great structure to work with you just have to do the renovations yourself it's the size of the house just over 3400 ft five bedrooms total so I mean listen 3,400 ft five bedrooms with a pool and that size of a yard literally anywhere else in the other new communities would be 900 or a million that's exactly and so you come here you get a good lot which you can't replicate in these other places exactly makes sense yeah

Community and Lifestyle

All right so let's talk a little bit about what there is to do in Hunter Creek because obviously houses are great but people want to have life and community so what does that look like yeah so one of the reasons that I've struggled to leave here despite all the new development around is because of the access that we have to everything that you would ever need here locally we've got a Publix we've got a Super Target we've got the Loop shopping center which is really nice huge so like we used to live in celebration and there's not a lot around 192 like if you live in celebration so my wife and I we'd come over to the loop and Shop here because it's got Sephora and Target and all the other kind of stuff that she needed at the time right so it makes sense yeah we've got a lot of dining and the you know the community events seasonally are great too we've got markets they do a holiday parade they do you know Christmas in the square and so everything that you really need is here and you don't need to go anywhere for it

Mature Community Feel

Yeah the cool thing about an area that's been developed up from like the ' 80s and '90s is it's got some time to mature like Horizon West like where we live hasn't quite yet matured to the place where you have that sense of community you have some retail popping up obviously Disney's really close there's a reason why it's a big deal um but 30 years of people giving back to the community and growing a little bit is something pretty cool yeah so I know there's like a lot of different non-chain stuff around here as well yeah so one of my favorite things that's been happening here over the last year and a half is that a lot of the commercial has started to turn over in a healthy way and it's kind of forced the other restaurants and Retail that's been here to step their game up so this sushi spot right here on the right Mado they have a location in Metro West as well but this is probably my favorite Sushi Spot in town uh because of exactly that they've had to step their game up over the last few years with all of the new restaurants and Retail coming into the area that's cool so dude 5 years later Fox still still hasn't sponsored me it's okay we'll still some what are we waiting on still good right

Local Rankings and Value

So all the mares and and Hunter Creek say 21st best place to live that's something that every Hunter Creek residents hang their hat on we're holding on to it why is this what's going on so first of all they were named 21st best place to live about 25 years ago okay so it's been a while with all the new development that's happened around you know is that still the case maybe maybe not I think what community members love is the accessibility of the community how you have everything that you need and you don't need to leave if you don't want to how do you feel like about the value about the area cuz the house is being a little bit older right um but for what you get how do you feel like the value is yeah in one word I would phrase it like this opportunity I think the the cost of Entry is a little bit more affordable than our neighbor 15 minutes away Lake Nona you get into a home a little bit cheaper put some money for Rehab you've got a comparable product uh with a more Community type feel than Lake Nona and so I think from a cost perspective it's a no-brainer your dollars will take you a lot further here

Final Thoughts

All right so we did it Hunters Creek in the books check that off JJ this one's for you I love Hunters Creek for a lot of different reasons one of the things I think about when I come here is like what will Horizon West and some of these other areas that have been built up over the past five and 10 years look like 30 years from now and how will they hold up and Hunter Creek kind of feels like that especially from a community standpoint so I think it's very cool so if you're looking to buy or sell a house in Hunter Creek or really anywhere in Greater Orlando my team and I want to be your real estate resource of choice make sure you reach out to us at info@ POS group.com or call the number in the description below we'll see you guys on the next
