VillaMar market snapshot (as of June 26, 2026): the median sale price is about $326K ($137 per sq ft), a buyer-leaning market (limited data). Based on 2 recent closings in live Stellar MLS data.
VillaMar, recorded in Stellar MLS under spellings including Villmar and Villa Mar, is a master planned single family community in southeast Winter Haven, Polk County, near the Thompson Nursery Road and West Lake Ruby Drive corridor (VillaMar CDD, 2026; multiple builder community pages, 2026). It is served by a Community Development District established in 2018, which funds community infrastructure and amenities.
The community has been built out across multiple phases by national builders, with community pages and the CDD board listing builders including Highland Homes, Maronda Homes, Ryan Homes, D.R. Horton, Lennar, and Adams Homes (builder community pages, 2026; VillaMar CDD board, 2026). Floor plans cited by builders generally run from roughly 1,400 to more than 2,700 square feet with three or more bedrooms and a two car garage. Confirm the exact builder, phase, size, and bedroom count for any specific home.
Because this is a CDD community, the money is made or lost on the carrying cost and the homesite, not just the address. The drivers are the annual CDD assessment on the tax bill, the HOA dues, the builder and phase you buy in, and the specific homesite, including any conservation or water view, all of which have to be read from the current district budget, the association documents, and the tax record for the exact parcel.
The pitch is a newer Winter Haven address with resort style amenities and easy corridor access: the community sits near Thompson Nursery Road with US 27, US 17, and State Road 60 close, and LEGOLAND Florida and Winter Haven shopping within a short drive (builder area guides, 2026). The work is the diligence: read the CDD and HOA budgets, confirm the assessment on the tax bill, and compare builders and homesites before you buy.
