Water Ridge is a gated community in Auburndale built around the lakes of central Polk County, where six of the nine homes on the market right now sit on the water. It's the kind of place where you get resort-style privacy and space without giving up an easy shot to the theme parks — Walt Disney World is about 43 minutes out, Orlando International roughly 54, and downtown Tampa around an hour. Nearby Auburndale Lakeside Park and established neighborhoods like Lake Juliana Estates and Lena Vista round out the area's lake-town character.
For buyers, this is a patient, higher-end slice of the Auburndale market. The nine active listings carry a median list price of $715,000 and run from $534,900 to just over a million, and homes here take their time — the median sits at 114 days on market. That said, the 15 homes sold over the past year closed at a median of $560,000, with sellers collecting about 97% of asking, so priced-right properties still move.
Water Ridge is a community in Auburndale, Florida.
