Enclave at Lake Arietta is a gated single-residential community on the southwestern shore of Lake Arietta in Auburndale, Polk County, off Enclave Lake Boulevard at ZIP 33823 (multiple Auburndale real estate guides, 2026). It is built by Southern Homes and planned for roughly 41 homes when complete, a small community rather than a sprawling master plan.
Local guides describe about 14 of the homes on the southwestern shore of the lake, with the balance set on interior lots, so the central choice here is waterfront versus interior. Floor plans are traditional single-family designs, with listing guides citing homes in the range of roughly 2,500 to over 4,400 total square feet across plans; confirm the exact size, bedroom count, and lot for any specific home.
Because this is a small lake community, the money is made or lost on the lot and the lake access, not just the address. The drivers are the waterfront premium on the shoreline lots, the floor plan and condition, the HOA dues and rules, and the shared lake access, all of which have to be read from the listing and the current HOA documents.
The pitch is gated lakeside living in central Polk County: Auburndale sits between Tampa and Orlando with quick access to Interstate 4 and the Polk Parkway, and the community offers shared lake access described as including a community dock, boat ramp, and picnic area. The work is the diligence: confirm the dues, the lake-access rights, and whether your home sits on the water before you buy.
