Davenport Real Estate

Davenport is primarily an investor market, and it's one of my most-recommended cities for short-term rentals near Disney. Much of the housing in Champions Gate and Reunion is used as vacation rental. For year-round residents, the residential pockets of Champions Gate and neighborhoods like Ridgewood offer a quieter suburban lifestyle with Polk County's lower cost of living.

Davenport straddles the Osceola and Polk county line, and the verified figures I have cover the Osceola County side. In August 2026 the single-family median there was $440,000, down 16.6 percent from $527,500 a year earlier, with a year to date median of $550,000, down 3.5 percent. Homes took 137 days to sell, improved from 177, months supply was 15.3, down from 17.6, and sellers received 96.3 percent of list. Townhomes and condos had a median of $240,000, down 31.4 percent, with 13.0 months of supply. The Polk County side, where Champions Gate, Reunion, Solterra and Providence largely sit, is reported separately and I will provide those numbers rather than estimate them.

For short-term rental investors, Reunion Resort, Champions Gate, Solterra, and Windsor at Westside are the four communities I consistently recommend. Reunion commands the highest nightly rates thanks to its three golf courses. For long-term residents or hybrid investors, the residential sections of Champions Gate offer both lifestyle and value.

Davenport spans two counties, so your tax rate depends on which side your specific address falls on. Polk County rates run roughly 0.85 to 1.0 percent of assessed value and Osceola County rates run higher, closer to 1.0 to 1.2 percent, and neither of those is a figure I will let you plan around without checking. I confirm the county and pull the actual tax bill for any address before we write an offer. Resort community HOAs are substantial either way: Reunion runs $450 to $700 per month, Champions Gate and Solterra range from $325 to $525 monthly, and most vacation rental HOAs include lawn care, cable, and access to water parks or golf.

Davenport is about 30 miles from downtown Orlando, a 35 to 45-minute drive via I-4. Walt Disney World is only 15 minutes away, and Champions Gate sits directly off the I-4 exit for Disney. That proximity is exactly why vacation rental demand in Davenport holds up, particularly during peak travel seasons.

On the Osceola County side, yes, and I will say it plainly: with 15.3 months of supply and 137 days on market in August 2026, this is the most oversupplied market on this site by a wide margin. That is real leverage for a patient buyer with financing already lined up, and sellers there received 96.3 percent of list. It also means you should not count on a quick resale, so buy it for the income, not the flip. These figures cover Osceola County only. The Polk County side, home to Champions Gate, Reunion, Solterra and Providence, has its own numbers that I will provide separately. Returns vary widely by community, finish level and management approach, so I will sit down and model a specific property with you instead of quoting you an average. Market figures as of August 2026.
