Citrus Ridge is a census-designated place in the Four Corners region of Florida, the area where Polk, Lake, Orange, and Osceola counties meet near the Disney corridor. Its Polk County portion sits in the Davenport area off US 27, and the broader CDP grew sharply between the 2010 and 2020 censuses, making it one of the faster-growing parts of Central Florida (US Census, 2020).
The area is really two overlapping markets. One is short-term-rental resort housing built for nightly vacation use near the theme parks, with pools and resort amenities. The other is annual, owner-occupied new construction and established subdivisions where people live year round. National builders such as D.R. Horton are active here, including a townhome community branded Citrus Ridge near US 27 and North Ridge Trail (GrowthSpotter, 2024).
The Citrus Ridge name covers very different homes and very different rules, so the money is made or lost on the specific community, its rental rules, and an honest read of HOA and any CDD, not the headline price.
The pitch is location plus growth: the Four Corners corridor offers fast access to the Disney area and I-4, with heavy new construction adding modern inventory. The work is sorting short-term-rental product from annual-residence stock, and verifying rental rules, HOA, CDD, and flood zone before you commit.
