Reserve at Forest Lake is a KB Home master-planned community off Chalet Suzanne Road near US 27 in Lake Wales, Polk County, ZIP 33859 (KB Home community pages, 2026). The sales information lists a community address on Cypress Knees Drive, with a separate townhome section access nearby, and KB Home builds the community in phases.
The product mix is new construction from KB Home. Listing and builder materials describe single-family floor plans roughly in the 1,300 to 3,000 square foot range across the phases, with three to five bedrooms depending on the plan, plus a townhome section with smaller three bedroom plans (KB Home and new-home listing portals, 2026). Confirm the exact plan, square footage, bedroom count, and lot for any specific home, since offerings change as phases sell out.
Because this is a phased new build, the money is made or lost on the phase, the plan, the lot, and the HOA, not on the address alone. The drivers are any builder incentives at the time you buy, the HOA dues and what they cover, the amenity timeline, and the lot position within the section, all of which should be read from the current sales and association documents.
The pitch is an affordable new-build address in a growing part of Polk County: builder materials cite proximity to Highways 17, 27, and 60, a short drive to LEGOLAND Florida Resort, dozens of area lakes, and nearby golf, with Lake Wales itself a small city that has seen rapid permit growth. The work is the diligence: read the incentives, the HOA budget, the warranty, and the amenity schedule, and confirm the no CDD claim before you buy.
