Ross Creek is a single-family new-home community built by KB Home in north Lakeland, in Polk County, off Kathleen Road north of Interstate 4 around 5531 Creek Haven Way, ZIP 33810 (KB Home community listings and new-home portals, 2026). It is a builder-controlled subdivision of new construction rather than an established resale neighborhood.
KB Home markets the community with one and two story floor plans, generally three to four bedroom homes, with marketed square footage spanning roughly the mid 1,500s to the high 2,600s depending on plan, and energy-efficient ENERGY STAR qualified construction (KB Home and new-home aggregator listings, 2026). Confirm the exact plan, square footage, bedroom count, lot, and delivered price for any specific home, since builder inventory and pricing change often.
Because this is an active builder community, the money is made or lost on the contract and the lot, not just the address. The drivers are the base price versus the design-center and lot-premium add-ons, the HOA dues and what they include, the warranty, and the specific lot, exposure, and floor plan, all of which have to be read from the current builder paperwork and HOA documents.
The pitch is attainable new construction in a growing part of north Lakeland: the community sits near Kathleen Road shopping and is close to Lakeland Square Mall, area employers, and Interstate 4 for commuting toward Tampa or Orlando. The work is the diligence: compare the all-in delivered price against nearby new communities, read the HOA budget, and factor the still-building-out Kathleen Road corridor into your timing.
