  • Restaurant and bar
  • Fitness center
  • Gaming lounge

Not disclosed

None of this exists publicly to date. Anyone saying otherwise is estimating, and it is fair to ask on what basis.

  • Pricing by home type
  • Final floor plans and square footage

  • HOA dues and resort fee
  • Short-term rental rules
  • Delivery schedule by phase
  • Finish, furniture and appliance packages

Where it is

Davenport sits in the Central Florida tourism corridor, south and southwest of the Orlando parks. An independent source estimates about 15 road miles to the Walt Disney World complex. Real travel time depends on the park, the hour and the starting point, so treat nine-minute claims with caution.

Market context

  • More than 80% of Polk County vacation homes are concentrated in the Davenport area
  • The local population grew 94.8% between the estimated April 2020 base and July 2025
  • A strong presence of short-term rental management companies in the region
