Taylor Groves is a single-family home community built by D.R. Horton in Lake Wales, in Polk County, Florida, reached from US Highway 27 and State Road 60 near the Lake Wales retail corridor (D.R. Horton community listing, 2026). It is part of the builder Tradition Series, the entry-point line, with one-story block homes on standard lots.
The builder has marketed one-story floor plans in the roughly 1,600 to 1,900 square foot range, with three to four bedrooms, up to two baths, and two-car garages, including plans named the Aria and the Cali (D.R. Horton and new-home listing portals, 2026). Homes feature concrete block construction, smart-home technology, and standard builder finishes. Confirm the exact plan, square footage, bedroom count, and lot for any specific home.
Because this is a newer builder community still delivering homes, the money is made or lost on the contract and the lot, not on a long price history. The drivers are the builder base price and incentives, the floor plan and lot you choose, the HOA dues, and whether a Community Development District assessment applies, all of which have to be read from the current builder paperwork.
The pitch is an affordable new home in a growing part of Polk County: Lake Wales sits along the US Highway 27 spine between the Orlando and Tampa metros, with Legoland Florida in nearby Winter Haven and the Lake Wales retail corridor close by. The work is the diligence: read the contract, price the HOA and any CDD, choose the lot, and weigh the new supply still coming nearby before you buy.
