With 41 homes and no active listings as of early August 2026, this is a community you buy into when something becomes available, not one you shop at leisure. The homestead share near 61% points to a group of owners who tend to stay, which keeps turnover low and limits what comes to market in any given window. The closings record is thin - only a handful of recent sales - so treat the median price and per-square-foot figures as directional rather than a dense, deeply sampled signal.

The build range matters more than usual here. Homes span 1997 to 2021, so two properties a few doors apart can differ by two decades of systems, layouts, and finishes. The median living area around 1,755 square feet frames the typical floor plan, but condition carries the price. Because amenities are not identified from current MLS listings, this is a land-and-house proposition - value the lot, the structure, and the Polk City location on their own terms, not a clubhouse or shared facilities.

In a 41-home pocket with zero active listings, the deal is often made before anything hits the public feed. We track who owns what, what tends to come up, and how recent closings were priced against condition - so a buyer is ready to act on a median 30-day window, and a seller prices against real comparables instead of guesswork in a thinly traded market.
