Knights Landing is a gated single-family home community by Adams Homes in North Lakeland, Polk County, nestled off Deeson Road near Kathleen Road (Adams Homes community page, 2026). It sits in the 33810 ZIP, centrally positioned between Tampa and Orlando, with the builder describing it as a private, gated community less than five minutes from I-4.
The community delivered largely between 2022 and 2024 (community listing guides, 2026), so the housing stock is newer construction. Adams Homes markets single-family ranch-style floor plans ranging roughly from 1,755 to 3,000 square feet, with oversized lots, stainless appliances, home irrigation, and tile, and notes that many homes have no rear neighbors with woods surrounding the community; confirm the exact size, plan, and lot for any specific home.
Because this is a newer builder community, the money is made or lost on the lot, the build details, and the HOA, not on a long resale record. The drivers are the specific floor plan and lot, any builder warranty still in force, the monthly HOA dues and what they cover, and the North Lakeland location and school assignment, all of which have to be read from the listing and the association documents for the exact home.
The pitch is a gated newer community with larger lots and an easy commute: I-4 is close, Tampa and Orlando are each roughly an hour, and North Lakeland shopping and services are minutes away. The work is the diligence: confirm the HOA dues and any lake access rights, check the lot and rear-neighbor situation, and verify the school zoning by address before you buy.
