Marion Ridge is a single-family new-construction community by Landsea Homes in Haines City, Polk County, located off U.S. 27 and minutes from I-4 in the corridor between Orlando and Tampa (Landsea Homes community page and new-home listing portals, 2026). The sales center is listed at 314 Marion Loop, Haines City, FL 33844, and the community is actively selling new homes.
Listing and builder guides describe roughly six floor plans ranging from about 1,773 to 2,560 square feet on a range of lot sizes, generally three to four bedroom single-family homes with paver driveways and a builder home-automation and energy-efficiency package (Landsea Homes and new-home portals, 2026). Confirm the exact plan, square footage, bedroom count, and lot for any specific home, since inventory and pricing change as the community sells out.
Because this is a builder community still delivering homes, the money is made on the new-build versus resale tradeoff and the lot, not on a settled neighborhood average. The drivers are the builder incentive on a to-be-built or inventory home, the discount on an early resale, the lot position within the community, the floor plan, and the carrying cost of the HOA plus any Community Development District (CDD) assessment, all of which have to be confirmed with the builder and the listing.
The pitch is a U.S. 27 corridor location with new retail nearby: a Publix opened in 2025 at the Shops at the Grove a short drive away, with Lake Eva Community Park and downtown Haines City close and the Orlando attractions corridor within reach. The work is the diligence: read the HOA budget, confirm whether a CDD applies, weigh the new-build incentive against an early resale, and check the real U.S. 27 commute at your departure time.
