Hickory Ridge Estates is a new-construction single-residential community built by Adams Homes in Lake Wales, Polk County, on the State Road 60 East corridor near the Lake Wales Country Club (Adams Homes community pages and Homes by Marco subdivision guide, 2026). The model address sits along Hickory Ridge Estates Drive in the 33898 ZIP, and listings describe it as an active builder community rather than an older resale neighborhood.
Adams Homes guides describe around seven floor plans with three to four bedrooms, two to three bathrooms, and two to three car garages, with home sizes roughly in the 1,540 to 2,705 square foot range and open-concept interiors (Adams Homes and Homes by Marco, 2026). Confirm the exact plan, square footage, standard features, and any structural options for any specific home, since the standard versus upgrade line drives the real price.
Because this is a builder community, the money is made or lost on the home and the contract, not just the address. The drivers are the base price versus the upgrade and lot premium, the HOA dues and what they cover, the builder warranty, and how the finished number compares to nearby new and resale homes. The builder advertises no CDD, which can be a meaningful carrying-cost advantage, but verify the HOA and any community fees in writing.
The pitch is a new home in a growing part of Polk County: the Lake Wales Country Club and golf are close, State Road 60 and US 27 put shopping and commuting routes within reach, and the broader Lake Wales corridor is seeing significant new investment. The work is the diligence: read the contract, the upgrade list, the lot, the HOA, and the warranty, and confirm drive times for your real routine before you buy.
