Landings at Mount Olive is a new single-residential community built by Starlight Homes off Mount Olive Road in Polk City, in Polk County, central Florida (Starlight Homes community page, 2026). Listings describe the community as planned for roughly 136 homes on a quiet parcel with some lake and waterfront views, marketed as an affordable, simple path into new-home ownership.
Starlight Homes is the value-oriented brand under the Ashton Woods umbrella, and the community is sold as move-in-ready, single-family construction with standard features such as stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and energy-efficient elements (Starlight Homes and new-home listing guides, 2026). Listing guides cite around nine floor plans, generally larger family layouts with a two-car garage; confirm the exact plan, square footage, and bedroom count for any specific home.
Because this is a new builder community, the money is made or lost on the plan, the lot, the included finishes, and the carrying cost, not on an address with a long resale record. The drivers are the builder base price and current incentives, the lot premium and orientation, the standard versus upgraded finishes, and the HOA, which listings cite around a modest monthly figure; confirm the current HOA, any CDD, and what the fee covers with the builder.
The pitch is affordable new construction in a fast-growing corridor: Polk City sits between Lakeland, Tampa, and Orlando along I-4, so the home trades a marquee location for price and the central Florida commute. The work is the diligence: compare the builder price and incentives against nearby resale and other new communities, confirm the HOA and any CDD, and verify schools and drive times by address before you buy.
