Cascades is a newer single-family masterplan in Davenport, Polk County, centered near 1301 Cascades Avenue off US-27 close to the I-4 corridor (D.R. Horton community page, 2026). It is a production-built community of detached homes rather than a townhome or condo project, with model and sales activity active in the area.
The community is built out by national builders including D.R. Horton and Lennar, whose Legacy and Grand collections offer a range of one and two story floor plans (D.R. Horton and Lennar community pages, 2026). Floor plans cited by the builders run from roughly 1,500 to over 2,700 square feet with three to five bedrooms; confirm the exact builder, plan, square footage, and lot for any specific home.
Because this is a newer masterplan, the money is made or lost on the builder and plan, the lot, and the carrying cost, not the name on the gate. The drivers are the HOA dues, any Community Development District assessment on the tax bill, the warranty and construction quality, and the specific lot orientation and size, all of which have to be read from the builder contract, the HOA documents, and the county tax record per address.
The pitch is newer, low-maintenance living with amenities near the attractions corridor: US-27 and I-4 put Posner Park shopping, the theme parks, and the broader Orlando job market within reach, with a clubhouse, pool, fitness area, and splash pad inside the community. The work is the diligence: read the contract, confirm the HOA and any CDD, and check the lot and the resale comps before you buy the model.
