Quick Facts: Danbury at Ridgewood Lakes

About D.R. Horton, the Builder Behind Danbury

D.R. Horton has been America's largest homebuilder by volume for more than two decades, and Central Florida is one of its deepest markets. The Tradition Series is the company's value-focused line: streamlined floor plans, a shorter options list, and a price point aimed squarely at first-time buyers and downsizers rather than move-up shoppers.

What you get at base price matters more than the brochure. Every Danbury townhome is built with all-concrete-block two-story construction, comes with Whirlpool stainless-steel appliances and ceramic tile throughout the downstairs, and includes D.R. Horton's Home is Connected® smart home package, so thermostat, lighting, and entry control are handled from your phone from day one. Buyers should still request the full feature sheet and ask which items are standard versus upgrade before signing.

Floor Plans & Pricing at Danbury at Ridgewood Lakes

Danbury keeps it simple with a single floor plan, which is part of why it prices competitively against other new build communities near Davenport.

• The Pearson — 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, 1-car garage, 1,463 sq. ft. across two stories, starting in the $292s.

The layout puts living, dining, and kitchen on an open main floor with a peninsula island and counter seating, plus a half bath and a private rear lanai. All three bedrooms sit upstairs, including an oversized primary suite with a walk-in closet and a double-vanity bath. At roughly $200 per square foot, it is one of the more affordable new-construction entry points anywhere on the I-4 corridor right now.

Because the community is actively building, inventory shifts weekly. Some homes are move-in ready and some are still under construction, and D.R. Horton periodically runs closing-cost incentives through its affiliated lender. Ask for the current incentive sheet — it changes month to month.

Amenities: What Residents Get

Danbury's own amenity package is built around low-maintenance living: a resort-style swimming pool with a cabana, a playground, and the open green space typical of a D.R. Horton townhome enclave. Exterior and lawn upkeep are handled through the association, which is a meaningful advantage for second-home owners and anyone who travels.

The bigger draw is the surrounding Ridgewood Lakes master plan. Residents sit beside the par-72 Ridgewood Lakes Golf Course, a Ted McAnlis design with water or wetlands in play on nearly every hole, and there is an on-site Tavern & Grill for a post-round meal. Ridgewood Lakes also houses several other neighborhoods, including the 55+ Del Webb Orlando community, giving the area a settled, fully built-out feel that brand-new subdivisions take years to develop.

Location: Why Davenport Works for Commuters and Investors

Danbury sits just off US-27 and roughly three miles from I-4, which is the practical reason this address works. Orlando's job centers and attractions are a straightforward drive northeast; Tampa is reachable the other direction, making Davenport one of the few Central Florida markets that genuinely splits the difference between both metros.

Day to day, Posner Park's shopping and dining is minutes away, ChampionsGate and Southern Dunes golf are close by, and Walt Disney World is a short hop up I-4 or US-27. AdventHealth Heart of Florida anchors nearby healthcare. For buyers comparing homes for sale in Davenport FL against Winter Garden or Clermont, the trade is straightforward: you give up some proximity to Horizon West retail and you gain roughly $150,000 in purchase price.

What Makes Danbury at Ridgewood Lakes Stand Out?

Three things separate this community from the rest of the new construction homes Davenport FL 2026 field. First, price: sub-$300,000 new construction with a garage has become genuinely scarce in Central Florida. Second, the master plan — buying into Ridgewood Lakes means mature landscaping, an established golf course, and an on-site restaurant rather than a construction zone. Third, unlike many Central Florida communities, Ridgewood Lakes has historically not carried a CDD assessment, which can save buyers $150 to $250 a month compared with a comparable Horizon West address. Confirm the assessment schedule for your specific homesite in writing before you sign.

The honest caveat: this is a one-plan, 1,463-square-foot townhome community. If you need a fourth bedroom or a two-car garage, look at D.R. Horton's nearby Wynnstone or Cascades neighborhoods instead. But for a first home, a rental, or a low-maintenance Florida base, Danbury is one of the best values on the map right now.
