Garden Hill at Providence is a single-family home neighborhood by Lennar inside Providence, a gated golf master-planned community in Davenport, Polk County (Lennar and multiple Davenport real estate guides, 2026). Homes here line Eastminster Road and nearby streets behind the Providence guard gate, and listing guides describe construction running from roughly 2023 onward, making this newer inventory within the larger plan.
Providence itself is a large master plan, marketed at about 2,200 acres and more than 4,000 planned residences, developed over time by builders including ABD Development and Lennar (Providence community materials, 2024 to 2025). The community centers on an 18-hole championship golf course designed by Michael Dasher, with a clubhouse, a separate fitness building, two resort-style pools, lighted tennis, and a restaurant, all behind a 24-hour manned gate with roaming security (Providence community materials, 2024 to 2025).
Because Garden Hill is one neighborhood inside this plan, the money is made or lost on the Providence HOA and the specific home, not on the address alone. The drivers are the monthly HOA dues, what the dues cover, the rental and short-term rental rules, the lot premium for golf or water views, and the specific Lennar floor plan and its condition, all of which have to be read from the current association documents and the listing.
The pitch is a gated, amenity-rich golf address with a primary-residence feel, low ownership costs, and a Disney-adjacent Davenport location. Providence markets no CDD and modest HOA dues, with the theme parks roughly twenty minutes away and Orlando and Tampa within a wider drive. The work is the diligence: read the HOA budget and rules, confirm the rental policy, quote insurance on the new build, and weigh the lot premium before you buy.
