Highland Meadows is a single-family, master-planned community located off County Road 547 in Davenport, Polk County, with addresses in ZIP 33837 (Stellar MLS listings and community guides, 2026). It sits in the Davenport corridor near US 27 and Interstate 4, the fast growing band of Central Florida between Orlando and the Polk County lake country.
The community is governed by the Highland Meadows Community Development District, a special purpose local government established on April 24, 2006 under Chapter 190 of the Florida Statutes (Highland Meadows CDD district information page, 2026). The district was created to plan, build, and maintain community infrastructure and amenities, and it funds that work through non ad valorem assessments collected on the annual property tax bill, separate from the HOA.
Because Highland Meadows was built out in phases over many years by multiple builders, vintage and floor plan vary across the community, with listing guides citing single-family homes that range broadly in size. The community is zoned as a planned development. The money here is made or lost on the phase, the lot, the floor plan, the CDD assessment, and the HOA dues, all of which have to be read per parcel from the current district and association documents rather than a townwide average.
The pitch is a master-planned address with resort style amenities and a Central Florida location: community guides cite a pool, cabanas, a playground, a dog park, sports fields, and walking trails, with US 27, Interstate 4, schools, shopping, and the regional theme parks all within reach. The work is the diligence: confirm the CDD assessment and remaining term on the exact lot, the HOA dues and what they cover, and the phase and condition before you buy.
