Gracelyn Grove is a new construction single-residential community on the outskirts of Haines City in Polk County, off South 30th Street and near Haines City High School (Highland Homes community pages, 2026). It is a phased build community, with a model home at 1009 Silas Street and a sales presence on Tank Trail, and homes range from compact single-story plans to larger two-story layouts.
The community was opened by Highland Homes, whose Parker model home debuted in September 2022 (Highland Homes blog, September 16, 2022), and Ryan Homes has also built single-family homes here, so the builder, warranty, and floor plan vary by home. Listing and builder guides cite plans spanning roughly the 1,300 to 3,100 square foot range with three to six bedrooms and two-car garages; confirm the exact plan, builder, size, and bedroom count for any specific home.
Because this is a new build community, the money is made or lost on the plan, the lot, the builder, and the HOA, not on a long resale history. The community markets a no-CDD position, which removes one assessment line many nearby master plans carry, but an HOA still applies, so read the current dues, what they cover, and any planned increases before you commit.
The pitch is a no-CDD address on the Haines City corridor: builder guides cite proximity to US-17, US-27, and I-4 with recreation at Lake Eva Community Park, and drive marketing to Walt Disney World Resort around 20 miles and Downtown Orlando under 40 miles. The work is the diligence: pick the plan and lot, confirm the builder and warranty, and read the HOA before you buy the finishes.
