True comps, carrying-cost math, and listings before the portals.
Aquarama is a community in Davenport, Polk County, FL (ZIP 33837). Across Davenport as a whole, 160 homes closed in the last 12 months at a median of $381,000, 55 median days on market, with 155 homes for sale today. At that median and Polk County's FY2025-26 rate of 16.19 mills, annual property tax runs about $6,170 ($5,490 with the full homestead exemption).

As of this snapshot, Aquarama has no active listings, which is exactly what you would expect: public reporting describes it as a Pulte resort community in Davenport that had only just cleared its land purchase and had not opened for sale when we last checked. There is no price or sales pace to read here yet.
For a buyer, Aquarama is a specific kind of purchase — an individually owned vacation home in a gated, amenity-heavy resort designed for short-term rental use, in the same family as Pulte's other Central Florida resorts. The numbers that will matter are builder base prices, the resort's HOA budget, and rental-program economics once released, not comparable resales. Anyone considering it should treat this as a pre-opening watch-list item and confirm the rental and HOA structure carefully before committing.
The 60-Second Overview
Aquarama is a planned Pulte resort-style community in Davenport, Polk County (ZIP 33837), on roughly 288 acres at the intersection of U.S. 17-92 and Ernie Caldwell Boulevard. Public reporting describes entitlements for up to about 1,065 homes — a mix of single-family and townhomes — built as individually owned vacation homes around a large resort amenity core. It is described as Pulte's fifth Central Florida resort community, in the same vein as Windsor Cay Resort, Windsor Island Resort, and Windsor at Westside. Reported timing has site work beginning February 2026, model homes by late 2026, and build-out into early 2027. No MLS listings or recorded resale history exist yet, so this page tracks the community's launch rather than a pricing picture; base pricing, HOA dues, and any CDD assessment were unpublished at discovery.

The Aquarama buying strategy.
If we were buying in Aquarama today, this is the order of operations we would run for our clients.
Underwrite the condition first. Price the roof, HVAC, and systems honestly before judging any list price; condition swings value here more than square footage alone.
Match the home to real comps. Recent sales of similar condition and lot, not the asking price, tell you what a home is worth.
Move deliberately, not desperately. Neither side has a decisive edge, so a well-prepared, fairly-priced offer wins without overpaying.
Line up financing and inspection early. A pre-approval and an inspection plan let you act fast and negotiate from evidence.
Keep an agent in your corner. The listing agent works for the seller; we represent you and prepare a hand-built valuation before any offer in Aquarama.
A Resort-Home Community on the U.S. 27 Tourism Corridor
Aquarama belongs to a distinct category of Central Florida ownership: the resort-home community, where buyers own their townhome or single-family home individually and the community is designed and zoned to support short-term vacation rental. Public reporting describes a large clubhouse with a bar and grill, resort pools, a lazy river, waterslides, a splash pad, mini golf, a fitness center, a gaming lounge, sports courts, and rental cabanas — an amenity package built for a guest-facing resort rather than a conventional subdivision.
The location is central to the appeal. The site sits on the U.S. 17-92 / U.S. 27 corridor in northern Davenport, one of Central Florida's fastest-growing tourism bands, positioned for quick access to the Orlando-area theme parks that drive vacation-rental demand. For a buyer, that combination — new construction, a heavy resort amenity core, and a location built around attraction access — is the whole thesis of the community.
Because Aquarama is a resort-home community rather than a primary-residence subdivision, the fine print matters more than usual and should be confirmed in writing before any deposit: base pricing (unpublished), the resort HOA budget, any CDD assessment, and exactly how the short-term rental program and any management arrangement are structured. Home counts, the community name, and timing come from public reporting on a very early-stage project and should be re-verified with the builder.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Aquarama. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here
A resort-home purchase is not the same as buying a primary residence, and that is exactly where a local agent earns their keep. We can get you on the interest list ahead of pricing, compare Aquarama's plans and amenity package against Pulte's other Central Florida resorts, and help you understand how the resort HOA, any CDD, and the rental setup shape the real cost of ownership.
We read the documents that determine whether the numbers work — the HOA budget, rental rules, and incentive structure — so you go in with a clear-eyed view of both the lifestyle and the economics rather than a sales-office headline.
