Build a new home in Davenport, FL
The Disney corridor's new-home hotspot — STR-friendly zoning, Polk pricing, and I-4 access. Davenport is at the epicenter of the Disney short-term rental corridor — minutes from the theme parks, with some of the most permissive STR zoning in Central Florida. For primary homeowners, it's an I-4 corridor value play.
About building new in Davenport
Davenport has transformed from a quiet Polk County town into one of Central Florida's biggest growth markets — driven largely by its position 15 minutes from Walt Disney World and its STR-friendly zoning. Posner Park and Champions Gate have brought major retail and restaurants, I-4 gives you direct Orlando or Tampa access, and Polk County pricing makes new-construction math work for both primary homeowners and investors. Brightview builds scatter-lot new homes here in the $350K–$500K range.
Why buyers are choosing Davenport
- Short-term rental friendly — one of the strongest STR markets in Central Florida outside of Kissimmee.
- Walt Disney World is 15 minutes via I-4 and US-192; Disney Springs is 12 minutes.
- Posner Park and Champions Gate bring 100+ retailers and restaurants to the immediate area.
- I-4 corridor midway between Orlando (35 min) and Tampa (55 min).

Does Brightview Homes build new homes in Davenport, FL?+
Yes. Brightview builds scatter-lot new construction homes in Davenport and throughout Polk County. Whether you already own a lot or want us to find one, we build one of our 10 floor plans on an individual parcel rather than inside a master-planned subdivision — which is how you get new construction in established Davenport neighborhoods.

Brightview base pricing starts at $269,990 for our Cambria and Tribeca plans (1,665 sq ft) and goes to $559,990 for the 3,479 sq ft Stephanie Estate — all before lot cost and selections. Davenport lot pricing and Polk County impact fees affect the all-in price. We'll give you an itemized, transparent quote specific to the lot and plan at consultation.
