The city of Davenport in Polk County is 36 miles southeast of Orlando. In the 1880s, the land where Davenport is today was nestled within the Central Florida Highlands and was scattered flatlands and gently rolling hills. Stretching north and south of the I4 highway and positioned between major roadways I92 and Highway 27, this formerly sleepy little town is now a beacon of growth. Nearby theme parks delight residents and visitors, and prolific shopping opportunities are available to suit every budget. Ample dining venues and everyday conveniences can be found around the ChampionsGate as well as throughout the Davenport area. Local parks and annual festivals ensure homeowners can enjoy an old-time feeling of community in their hometown.

For many years Davenport thrived as a quiet little town in Central Florida. While suburban areas around Orlando and Tampa grew remarkably, the corridor west of the Disney remained mostly untouched. Recently this has changed as home buyers are attracted to the convenience of having Orlando and Tampa career opportunities in reach and the economic value of property in the area. With a great central location, smart, modern local development, and a wide range of real estate offerings, Davenport has become a popular Central Florida real estate source.
