Seasons at Shores of Lake Dell is a new single-residential community by Richmond American Homes on Lake Dell Avenue in Dundee, in Polk County, Florida (Richmond American community listing and Polk County press coverage, 2025). It sits in the growing Central Florida corridor between Haines City and Lake Wales, off US-27 with access to Orlando and Tampa via US-27 and I-4.
Richmond American announced in early 2025 that it had purchased and closed on roughly 40 homesites in Polk County for the community, with the neighborhood scheduled to open that spring (West Orlando News and Richmond American, 2025). The community offers five single and two story floor plans from the builder Seasons Collection, generally cited as three to five bedrooms and roughly 1,700 to 2,400 square feet, with names including Fraser, Lynwood, Palm, Pine, and Laurel.
Because the homes are new construction, the money is made or lost on the contract and the lot, not on a long resale record. The drivers are the base price against options and lot premiums, the standard versus upgraded finishes, the HOA dues and what they cover, and the specific homesite. Builder materials for the community indicate no CDD fee, but confirm the HOA and any CDD per the latest builder and county records for the exact home.
The pitch is an attainable new build in a quieter part of Polk County near Lake Dell, marketed to first-time buyers and to those looking to downsize without downgrading (Richmond American, 2025). The work is the diligence: read the purchase agreement, price the options and lot premium, confirm the HOA dues and inclusions, and verify the schools and the commute for your routine before you sign.
