Cortland Woods at Providence is a single-family residential enclave built by Lennar inside the gated Providence golf and country club community in Davenport, Polk County (Lennar and multiple Central Florida real estate guides, 2026). It sits near the community entrance off Ronald Reagan Parkway, with Lennar marketing its model and sales presence in the Cortland Woods neighborhood as a gateway into the wider Providence master plan.
Providence is described by the developer as a roughly 2,200-acre gated master-planned community with thousands of planned residences, anchored by an 18-hole championship golf course designed by Mike Dasher, a residents clubhouse and fitness building, lighted tennis courts, and two resort-style pools behind a 24-hour manned guard gate (Providence developer and ABD Development materials, 2026). Cortland Woods is one of the single-residential neighborhoods inside that plan.
Because this is one enclave inside a master community, the money is made or lost on the association, the amenity setup, and the specific home, not the address alone. The drivers are the Providence HOA dues and what they cover, the no-CDD structure the developer advertises, the golf-club arrangement, and the specific home floor plan, lot, and view, all of which have to be confirmed per address from current documents.
The pitch is a gated, golf-adjacent address in the Disney corridor: Providence sits between US 27 and US 192 with quick access to I-4, putting the Walt Disney World area, shopping, and dining a short drive away (developer location materials, 2026). The work is the diligence: confirm the HOA dues and inclusions, the rental and deed restrictions, and the lot and view before you buy the gate.
