Del Webb Orlando is a gated, 55+ / age-restricted (HOPA) active-adult community in Davenport, Polk County, set inside the master-planned Ridgewood Lakes golf community on the US-27 corridor south of I-4 (55places community profile, 2026). It holds roughly 830 single-family homes and is open to residents aged 55 or better, with a full-time activities director and a deep club and class schedule.
The community was built by Del Webb (Pulte). It originally opened in 2007 under the name La Cresta and was rebranded Del Webb Orlando during the build, with the last homes delivered around 2021, so home eras span the late 2000s to the early 2020s (55places community profile, 2026). Floor plans are single-family and generally single story, with listing guides citing a range of roughly 978 to 2,251 square feet and one to four bedrooms; confirm the exact size, bedroom count, and year built for any specific home.
Because this is one named community with two associations, the money is read on the amenity package and the dues, not just the address. The drivers are the Del Webb Orlando association dues, the separate Ridgewood Lakes master-association fee, the health of the Montecito amenities, golf membership choices, and the specific floor plan and lot, all of which have to be confirmed from the current association documents for the exact home.
The pitch is a gated, amenity-rich active-adult lifestyle near Orlando: the roughly 30,800 square foot Montecito clubhouse anchors indoor and outdoor pools, a fitness center, an indoor walking track, courts, and a long activity calendar, with the public Ridgewood Lakes golf course nearby and I-4, the theme parks, and an AdventHealth hospital within reach. The work is the diligence: read both budgets, confirm the age rule, and price the floor plan and lot before you buy the lifestyle.
