Citrus Ridge: New Homes in Davenport FL by D.R. Horton (2026 Townhome Guide)

If you have been hunting for new homes in Davenport FL that pair low-maintenance living with a price point that still makes sense in 2026, Citrus Ridge deserves a spot on your list. This new townhome community from D.R. Horton sits in the 33897 corridor off US-27, roughly 20 minutes from Walt Disney World and a straight shot to I-4. It is an early-stage community, so the information below reflects what D.R. Horton has published to date — and I have flagged what has not been released yet.

Citrus Ridge Quick Facts

About D.R. Horton, the Builder Behind Citrus Ridge

D.R. Horton has been the largest homebuilder in the United States by volume for more than two decades, and its Orlando West division is one of the most active builders in Polk and Osceola counties. Citrus Ridge falls under the Express Series®, D.R. Horton’s value-focused line. Express homes are built on a streamlined set of finishes rather than a design-center-heavy custom process, which is exactly why they land at an accessible price point and close on a predictable timeline.

That trade-off is worth understanding before you tour. You will not be selecting from dozens of countertop options. What you get instead is a well-specified home with the finishes already chosen, a builder warranty behind it, and in-house financing available through DHI Mortgage.

Floor Plans & Pricing at Citrus Ridge

Citrus Ridge offers two townhome plans, and both share the same core layout: three bedrooms, two and a half baths, a one-car garage, and two stories of concrete block construction.

• The Glen (Unit B) — 1,673 sq. ft. An open-concept main level with the kitchen, dining and living areas flowing to a covered rear lanai. All three bedrooms and the laundry room sit upstairs.
• The Vale (Unit A) — 1,758 sq. ft. The end-unit plan and the larger of the two, with the same bedroom count and roughly 85 additional square feet.

What will homes at Citrus Ridge cost?

D.R. Horton has not published pricing for Citrus Ridge yet; the community page still reads “call for information.” For context on where these may land, D.R. Horton’s Brentwood townhomes in Davenport — which use the same 1,673 sq. ft. floor plan — are listed from the $297s, and nearby Danbury at Ridgewood Lakes starts from the $292s. Treat those as directional comparables, not a quote. Ask the sales office for the current price sheet and any incentive tied to using DHI Mortgage.

Amenities and Home Features

Citrus Ridge is a low-maintenance townhome community rather than an amenity-heavy resort development, so the value sits inside the homes. Every residence includes luxury vinyl plank flooring through the main living areas, a kitchen with an oversized quartz island and Whirlpool stainless-steel appliances, and a private covered lanai. The primary suite comes with a walk-in closet and an ensuite bath featuring dual sinks and a walk-in shower.

Every home also ships with D.R. Horton’s smart home technology package, letting you manage lighting, thermostat and security from your phone — a meaningful feature if you travel or plan to use the home seasonally. Concrete block construction and energy-efficient systems help hold down insurance and utility costs, which matters more in Florida every year.

Location: US-27, I-4 and the Disney Corridor

Citrus Ridge sits in one of Polk County’s fastest-growing pockets. Walt Disney World is about 20 minutes away, and Lake Louisa State Park — kayaking, horseback riding and miles of trails — is roughly 15 minutes out. Golf is abundant nearby, including ChampionsGate and Southern Dunes.

For commuters, the community has direct access to US-27, US-192 and I-4, putting you within reach of Orlando’s employment centers to the northeast and Tampa to the west. Posner Park handles everyday shopping and dining, and AdventHealth Heart of Florida covers medical needs. Westside K-8 School is the assigned elementary and middle school at just 1.7 miles.

What Makes Citrus Ridge Stand Out

Among new build communities near Davenport, Citrus Ridge stands out for three reasons. First, attached townhomes with 1,673 to 1,758 square feet are genuinely hard to find at this price tier in Central Florida right now. Second, the all-concrete block construction and included smart home package are specifications that many competing builders treat as upgrades. Third, the location threads a needle: close enough to the theme park corridor to matter for resale and rental demand, far enough out on US-27 to stay attainable.

The honest caveat is timing. This community is in its earliest phase, pricing has not been released, and HOA documents are not yet public. If you are buying in the next 30 days, other new homes in Davenport FL will serve you better. If you are planning six to twelve months out, getting on the Citrus Ridge interest list early is a smart move — first-phase buyers in D.R. Horton communities frequently see the best pricing.

Is Citrus Ridge a good fit for investors?

Polk County’s short-term rental rules differ meaningfully from Osceola County’s, and townhome HOAs often carry their own leasing restrictions. Because the Citrus Ridge HOA documents have not been published, no one can confirm the rental policy yet. Get that answer in writing before you write a contract.
