Westridge is a single-family home community in Davenport, in northeast Polk County, located off US 27 next to the Highlands Reserve Golf Club (community real estate guides, 2026). Listing guides describe homes built across multiple phases, generally from the 1990s into the early 2000s, so the housing stock varies by phase, age, lot, and floor plan rather than reading as one uniform new-build product.
Governance here has two layers. There is a homeowners association that maintains community standards and shared amenities, and there is the Westridge Community Development District, an independent special-purpose government created under Florida Statutes Chapter 190 and established by Polk County in 2003, encompassing roughly 162 acres (Westridge CDD, 2026). The district issued bonds and levies non ad valorem assessments on the annual Polk County tax bill, so confirm both the HOA dues and the CDD assessment for any specific home.
Because this is an established community rather than a single new-build phase, the money is made or lost on the individual home, the lot, and the carrying cost, not on the address alone. The drivers are the home age and condition by phase, the HOA dues, the Westridge CDD assessment, and the rental rules, all of which have to be read from the current association documents, the district records, and the Polk County tax record for the exact parcel.
The pitch is a Davenport address with easy US 27 access, community amenities, and proximity to the Highlands Reserve golf course and the Posner Park shopping area, in the broad Disney area tourism corridor. The work is the diligence: read the HOA and the CDD assessment, confirm the rental rules and any required permits, and check the home and lot before you anchor on a list price.
