Cortland Woods at Providence is a single-family home village built by Lennar inside the gated, golf centered Providence master-planned community in Davenport, Polk County (Lennar and multiple Providence real estate guides, 2026). It sits between US 27 and US 192, with Orlando attractions and the Disney corridor a short drive east.
Providence is a large master community developed by ABD Development, described in marketing materials as spanning roughly 2,200 acres with thousands of planned residences and an 18-hole championship golf course; confirm the exact community scope and current build-out with the developer and association. Cortland Woods is one of its named villages and is generally described as built out or sold out by Lennar, with resales now the main supply.
Homes in Cortland Woods are conventional single-family residences, with listing guides citing single storey and two storey plans in a roughly 2,400 to 3,800 square foot range, larger than much of the short-term-rental product nearby; confirm the exact size, bedroom count, and plan for any specific home. Because this is a village inside a master community, the HOA, the gate, and the shared amenities are part of the value and the cost.
The pitch is gated golf community living with resort amenities at a relatively low ownership cost: Providence marketing cites a modest monthly HOA and reports no CDD, an 18-hole course, a clubhouse and restaurant, two resort-style pools, a fitness building, lighted tennis, a dog park, and a 24 hour manned gate. The work is the diligence: confirm the current HOA dues and inclusions, the rental and use rules, and the specific lot and home condition before you buy.
