Crosswinds is a master-planned community in Haines City, Polk County, on a large tract east of Powerline Road, north of Johnson Avenue East (multiple builder community pages and Polk County records, 2026). It is a multi-phase plan, so what you buy depends heavily on the builder, the phase, and the product type rather than a single townwide identity.
Trade and local reporting described the plan as combining several parcels into a roughly 603-acre residential development, projected over time to add hundreds of townhomes and thousands of single-family homes across multiple phases, with portions in Haines City and a phase in unincorporated Polk County (GrowthSpotter, 2021). Several national builders, including D.R. Horton and Lennar, have marketed homes here, alongside other builders at various times; confirm the active builders, phases, and floor plans currently selling.
Because this is a phased master plan, the money is made or lost on the builder, the phase, and the fee stack, not on the address alone. The drivers are the HOA dues, the Community Development District (CDD) assessment that funds the infrastructure, the lot position and size, and the specific floor plan, all of which should be read from the builder paperwork and the latest community documents for the exact home.
The pitch is new construction in a convenient Central Florida location: builder pages cite easy access to US-27 and I-4, with Posner Park area shopping and a Publix center nearby, and a position roughly between Orlando and Tampa. The work is the diligence: confirm the CDD and HOA, compare builders inside the community, read the phase and amenity timeline, and check the lot before you buy.
