Temples Crossing is a newer townhome community built by Starlight Homes, an Ashton Woods company, on Temples Crossing Boulevard and Spire Drive in Davenport, Polk County (Starlight Homes community page, 2026). It sits in the Lakeland to Winter Haven metro corridor near US 17-92, south of the Davenport city core, with the broader Polk County area marketed for its proximity to the US 27 and Interstate 4 attractions corridor.
Nearly every home in the community is the Cosmos floor plan, a two-story townhome with three bedrooms, two and a half baths, about 1,422 square feet, and a one-car garage, entered through a covered front porch with an open kitchen, dining, and great room downstairs and the bedrooms upstairs (Starlight Homes, 2026). Because the plan is consistent, value comes from lot position, interior versus end unit, condition, and the HOA, not from floor plan variety; confirm the exact square footage and configuration for any specific home.
Because this is a townhome community, the money is made or lost on the HOA and the specific home, not just the address. The drivers are the monthly HOA dues, the reserve funding, what the association maintains, the FEMA flood picture, and the lot and interior position, all of which should be read from the current HOA documents and an insurance quote for the exact address.
The pitch is low-maintenance, entry-tier new construction in a growing Polk County submarket: the builder cites a neighborhood pool, cabana, playground, green space, and a lake, with everyday shopping and AdventHealth Heart of Florida within a short drive and the US 27 and I-4 attractions corridor reachable for work or recreation. The work is the diligence: read the HOA budget and reserves, quote the insurance, and check the flood zone before you buy.
