Both. If you already own land anywhere in Polk County, Brightview will build one of our 10 floor plans on it (see our Build On Your Lot in Polk County page). If you don't own land, we either match you with a lot we already have under contract or help you find and evaluate open-market parcels.

The big production builders push you into one of three or four floor plans inside a master-planned community 30+ minutes from where you actually want to live. Brightview builds on individual scattered lots in established Polk County neighborhoods — and value-engineers the build so you get a higher-quality home at a comparable or better price.

Polk County Public Schools serves the entire county. George Jenkins High and Lakeland High are the strongest in west Polk; Ridge Community High serves the Davenport corridor.
