Crosswinds is a master-planned community on Powerline Road in Haines City, Polk County (Lennar and D.R. Horton community pages, 2026). It was advanced by Cassidy Homes as a large residential planned unit development, reported by GrowthSpotter in 2021 at roughly 603 acres and planned for around 3,000 homes, combining about 2,646 single-family homes and 444 townhomes across multiple phases, with the third phase in unincorporated Polk County. Confirm the current phase and entitlements for any specific home.
The 40s in the name is a lot-product tag: it points to the 40-foot-wide single-family lots within Crosswinds, the more compact lot tier that generally sits below the wider 50-foot single-family lots. The townhome enclave is covered separately, so this guide is the broader single-family product. Listing and builder guides describe single-family lots at 40 and 50 feet wide, so confirm the exact lot width and the builder for any specific home.
Because Crosswinds is new construction across several builders, the money is made or lost on the builder, the plan, the lot, and the recurring cost stack, not on a single neighborhood average. Builders active here have included Lennar, D.R. Horton, Casa Fresca, Meritage, and Maronda (builder community pages, 2026). The drivers are which builder and plan you buy, the lot width and position, the HOA dues, and the CDD assessment that rides on the property tax bill, all of which have to be confirmed per home.
The pitch is an amenity-rich Haines City address with an easy reach to US 27, US 17 to 92, and the Interstate 4 corridor toward the wider Orlando area. Builder guides describe a community pool and pool house, a clubhouse, walking trails, a playground, dog parks, and sport courts, with a Publix-anchored shopping center and Posner area retail cited nearby. The work is the diligence: confirm the builder, the lot, the HOA dues, and the CDD bond and annual assessment before you buy.
