Horton (e.g., Concorde, Bradbury Estates), Pulte Homes (e.g., Emerald Pointe at Beryl Landing, Skylar Crest), K. Hovnanian (Preserve at Deer Lakes), Toll Brothers (Riverside Oaks), and others feature dozens of new homes currently under construction or available for sale across Sanford (as of September 2026 listings showing ~57+ new homes in various communities). These are smaller-scale ongoing builds rather than singular large projects.[7]
