Willowbrook North is a new-construction single-residential neighborhood in Winter Haven, Polk County, on the northern section of the larger Willowbrook development between the Willowbrook Golf Course and Lake Fannie (GrowthSpotter, 2024). DRB Homes was selected as the builder for the Willowbrook North lots (DRB Homes community materials, 2026).
The broader Willowbrook development is backed by Luxer Development and The Keewin Real Property Company and spans roughly 284 acres, split by a canal at the southern edge of the golf course into a northern section and a southern section, with construction set to begin in May 2024 (GrowthSpotter, 2024). DRB Homes community materials describe the northern section as planning around 232 single-family homes with a roughly 40 to 50 foot wide lot pattern; confirm the current lot count, plan, and pricing with the builder, since builder programs change.
Because this is an actively building community, the money is made or lost on the price against the builder base and incentives, the specific lot and plan, and the build phase, not on a long resale record. The drivers are the negotiated price, any lot premium for golf-course or water adjacency, the HOA dues and whether a CDD applies, and how far along the neighborhood is when you buy.
The pitch is a lakeside, golf-course-adjacent address in Winter Haven with a community pool, park, trails, and playground per the builder, and an easy reach to downtown Winter Haven and the wider Orlando corridor. The work is the diligence: confirm the base price, the dues and any CDD, the lot premium, and the timeline, and weigh the new-construction supply nearby before you sign.
