Brookland Park is a single-family home community built by Taylor Morrison in Auburndale, Polk County, in ZIP 33823 (Taylor Morrison and multiple new-home listing portals, 2026). It sits on the southeast side of Auburndale near Lake Ariana and Lake Mariana, with Lake Myrtle Sports Park and the K-Ville Avenue corridor nearby; confirm the exact location and lot for any specific home.
The community offers one and two story floor plans, generally described in the roughly 1,500 to 3,200 square foot range across listings, on oversized lots with two and three car garages and some lakefront homesites (new-home listing guides, 2026). Plan availability, square footage, and lot type vary, so confirm the exact plan, size, garage, and lot for any specific home with the builder or listing.
Because this is a newer builder community, the money is made or lost on the plan, the lot, and the carrying cost, not on the address alone. The drivers are the HOA dues, whether a CDD applies, the lot premium, the builder warranty, and the included versus upgraded finishes, all of which have to be confirmed from the listing and the builder documents for the exact home.
The pitch is new construction in a smaller Polk County city with lake access and an easy reach toward both Orlando and Tampa via Interstate 4. The work is the diligence: confirm the HOA dues and any CDD, read the lot premium, compare base and upgraded finishes, and check the warranty and the resale comp set before you buy the model.
