Champions Gate

It works for both full-time residents and investors who want space and resort amenities close to the theme parks. Nearly all homes have pools, many are gated, and Walt Disney World is about 19 minutes away with downtown Orlando around 35. Communities like Solterra Resort are built around that lifestyle.

It sits in the mid-to-upper range for Davenport, with a median list price of $587,000 and listings spanning $310,000 to $950,000. That reflects the larger homes here — a median 3,339 square feet at about $188 per square foot. There are currently no listings above $1M active.

Active listings carry a median price of $587,000, but the 92 homes sold over the past year closed at a median of $510,000. With sellers getting about 96% of asking, buyers in Highlands Reserve and beyond have real room to negotiate.

There are 122 active listings and homes are taking a median of 70 days to sell, so it's a patient market that favors buyers who compare carefully. Sellers averaged 96% of asking over the last 12 months, and the gap between the $587,000 median list and $510,000 median sold price shows offers below ask are working in Providence and nearby communities.

Budget for higher carrying costs here: the median HOA runs about $622 a month, which often reflects the resort amenities and short-term-rental services in communities like Windsor Island. Median property taxes come in around $9,226 a year, and median rent sits near $3,000 a month.
