Santa Cruz is a single-family home community in Davenport, Polk County, set off US Highway 27 just outside the western edge of the ChampionsGate area (multiple Davenport real estate community guides, 2026). Listing guides describe roughly 138 homes built between about 1999 and 2005, a small, established subdivision rather than a sprawling new master plan.
Floor plans are generally single-story single-family homes, with listing guides citing sizes from around 1,070 to 2,482 square feet, some with private pools. Guides describe limited community amenities and a relatively low homeowners association fee, with quarterly and monthly figures varying by source, so confirm the exact dues, what they cover, and any rules from the current HOA documents for the specific home.
Because this is one neighborhood, the money is made or lost on the specific home and lot, not the address alone. The drivers are the renovation condition and systems age on an early 2000s house, the lot and pool if present, the HOA dues and rules, and how the association treats short-term rentals, all of which have to be read from the listing and the current HOA documents.
The pitch is a low-fee Davenport address with quick access to the Orlando attractions corridor: US 27 is at the community, ChampionsGate and its shopping and golf are close, US 192 is about five miles north, and Interstate 4 and the Disney area are a manageable drive. The work is the diligence: read the HOA rules and rental policy, check systems age, and confirm the resident mix before you buy.
