Contemporary housing in proximity to downtown
As the saying goes, a rising tide lifts all boats. The same effect applies to the Sanford neighborhood of Beck Hammock, a burgeoning residential community in proximity to the growing city’s buzzy downtown waterfront. “Growing up, Sanford had a horrible reputation, but they established a historic district in 1998, and there was a commercial historic district to follow,” says Carol van den Berg, who works for Florida One Real Estate and lives in the city’s historic district. “Orlando has sort of fallen off as the place to be, so you’re seeing a big comeback of small towns with cute, charming, old downtowns. Sanford is known for having a lot of events, and you’re seeing breweries and restaurants popping up in this beautiful commercial downtown. That’s a big draw. And when you live in this neighborhood, you’re only 10 minutes from that.”

New homes are filling up the neighborhood
While a handful of established homes on spacious lots can still be found in outlying areas, neighborhood home-building began in earnest in the late 2000s. Since then, and continuing through the present day, planned subdivisions have been filling up the landscape north of East 25th Street, the neighborhood’s main east-west thoroughfare. However, builders have recently begun similar developments on the south side. The collection of contemporary homes initially featured single-story ranch-style housing, but recent construction has been focused on larger multi-level homes. Densely packed together along walkable streets in deed-restricted subdivisions, the homes feature attached garages and large backyards with room for pools. Van den Berg, who describes herself as an “old home aficionado,” says she understands why people are buying newer homes in Beck Hammock. “You have proximity to downtown Sanford and all it has to offer, but you don’t have to deal with the headaches and renovation.” Prices are relatively affordable as well, ranging from the mid-300,000s to the mid-500,000s, and Van den Berg says property values will only increase as Sanford’s growth continues. Multi-level townhouses starting in the low $300,000s also can be found. Monthly HOA fees in the separate deed-restricted communities range from $50 to $130.

River, lake, sports complex among the many recreational options
With the neighborhood’s north side located at the confluence of the St. Johns River and Lake Monroe, residents have easy access to an array of outdoor recreation. Boaters can traverse almost 9,000 acres of lake. Watercraft enthusiasts can explore the river. Anglers can patrol both for their next big catch in bass-heavy waters. In addition, the Atlantic coast is less than 30 miles east. “From the neighborhood, you’re a straight shot to New Smyrna Beach,” van den Berg says. “You take the back way through some pretty, forested areas.” The neighborhood is cradled by protected lands. The Lake Monroe Conservation Area and the Lake Jessup Conservation Area to the south both feature primitive walking trails. Fort Mellon Park, highlighted by a variety of children’s playscapes and athletic amenities, is a conveniently located recreational center adjacent to the popular Sanford RiverWalk. The 5-mile paved path that runs along the southern shore of Lake Monroe offers spectacular views and easy access to the downtown historic district. The Boombah Sports Complex is a large-scale athletic facility that covers 100 acres on the neighborhood’s south side. It features a variety of tournament-quality fields designed to host regional competitions in traditional sports such as baseball, softball, soccer and football, niche sports that include lacrosse and field hockey and unique games such as Quidditch.

Eateries concentrated downtown; new Publix in the neighborhood
Gator's Riverside Grille, a casual neighborhood eatery, and St. Johns River Steak & Seafood are featured waterfront restaurants. The latter is actually located on Lake Monroe and is among an eclectic mix of dining destinations concentrated around the downtown lakefront. Other highlights include Buster's, a highly rated brewpub that serves up comfort food favorites and features live music, and Henry’s Depot, a food hall that is home to several casual eateries that offer everything from seafood to ramen to small-batch ice cream. Magpie’s Modern General Store, The Cute Boutique and Pedal Driven, a one-stop bicycle shop, are among downtown’s collection of independent businesses. A new neighborhood Publix provides convenient grocery shopping. The Publix is the anchor of King’s Crossing, Beck Hammock’s first mixed-use development. “You know how corporations are; they do their homework,” says Timothy Snell, a Realtor with United Real Estate Preferred who builds and sells homes in neighboring Midway. “They are not going to build a store if they don’t think the area can support it. That says a lot about how the area is changing.” Located at the intersection of Lake Mary Boulevard and East 25th Street, King’s Crossing eventually will feature a Wawa and a 261-unit apartment complex in addition to Publix. City officials have said the development is an important first step in expanding the commercial footprint of the Lake Mary Boulevard corridor. Residents still have to travel at least 5 miles into Sanford for the closest retail stores, which include Walmart and Target.
