Garden Hills at Providence is a single-family village within Providence, a gated master-planned golf community off Eastminster Road in Davenport, Polk County (Providence community and Lennar materials, 2026). The Stellar MLS subdivision name Providence Garden Hills 50 S marks the fifty-foot-lot segment of Garden Hills, a newer Lennar-built section delivered largely in the early 2020s, with companion Estate and Chateau collections offered on the wider lots.
Providence itself is a roughly 2,200-acre community planned for several thousand residences, developed by ABD Development, with an eighteen-hole championship golf course designed by Mike Dasher that opened in 2007 (ABD Development and Providence community materials, 2026). Garden Hills is one of the more recent villages, so its homes are new construction rather than the older Providence stock, which generally helps on the structural, roof, and systems picture for a buyer.
Because this is a village inside a master plan, the money is made or lost on the HOA, the lot, and the floor plan, not just the address. Providence markets a single HOA with no CDD fees, which keeps the carrying cost simpler than many Central Florida communities that add a CDD bond; confirm the current Providence HOA dues, any Garden Hills sub-association amount, and the no-CDD status from the latest community documents for the exact home.
The pitch is gated, amenity-rich, new-construction living near the Orlando theme-park corridor: the Providence clubhouse, two pools, fitness building, tennis, and the public Providence Golf Club are on site, with Posner Park retail, US Route 17 and US 27, and Interstate 4 giving access toward Orlando, Kissimmee, and Lakeland. The work is the diligence: read the HOA budget, confirm no CDD, check the rental mix, and price the lot and plan against the deep bench of similar new homes before you buy.
