Harmony at Lake Eloise is a newer single-family master-planned community off Hummingbird Road on the south side of Winter Haven, in Polk County (D.R. Horton and Casa Fresca Homes community pages, 2026). It sits near Lake Eloise and the LEGOLAND Florida resort, within the Harmony on Lake Eloise Community Development District, which the official district materials describe as covering roughly 354 acres entirely within the City of Winter Haven.
The community is built by two builders, D.R. Horton and Casa Fresca Homes, with marketing materials citing a range of single-story and two-story floor plans of roughly three to five bedrooms and home sizes commonly cited from about 1,500 to 2,800 square feet; confirm the exact plan, size, and bedroom count for any specific home. Homes are marketed with contemporary open layouts, shaker-style cabinetry, stainless Whirlpool appliances, and integrated smart-home technology, though finishes and inclusions vary by builder and plan.
Because this is an active builder community, the money is made or lost on the home and the lot, not on a settled neighborhood average. The drivers are the floor plan and lot you pick, the builder incentives, the HOA dues, and the CDD assessment that funds the district, plus how the resale market absorbs the next phase and nearby new supply. The Harmony on Lake Eloise CDD was established in 2021, so confirm the current annual assessment and the HOA dues per home before you buy.
The pitch is a near new home at a Polk County price point near the Chain of Lakes and LEGOLAND. The work is the diligence: read the CDD and HOA documents, compare the lot and plan against the next phase and the other Winter Haven new communities, and confirm the school assignments by address before you fall for the model.
