Santa Cruz

It's a quiet residential neighborhood in Davenport that suits buyers who want a calmer base near the attractions rather than in the middle of them. You're about 31 minutes from Walt Disney World and 42 from the airport, with communities like Champions Gate close by for dining and golf. The low $42 median HOA and roomy 2,247-square-foot homes make it comfortable for families.

It's mid-range for the Davenport area, with a median list price of $340,000 and homes running from $319,900 to $395,000. At an average of $167 per square foot, you get more space than many of the resort-branded communities nearby. There are no $1M-plus listings here, so the price band stays fairly tight.

Current active listings have a median list price of $340,000, and homes sold over the past year came in at a median of $360,000. With sellers getting about 98% of asking on average, offers land close to list. The typical home is around 2,247 square feet at roughly $167 per square foot.

It's a small, steady market — just 3 active listings and 5 sales in the past 12 months, with a median 61 days on market. That pace gives buyers time to evaluate and negotiate rather than rush. If inventory feels thin, it's worth also looking at Highlands Reserve and other nearby communities.

The median HOA here is a modest $42 per month, notably lower than many amenity-heavy resort communities. Median property tax runs about $4,422 a year. If you're weighing a rental instead, median rent in the area is around $2,300 a month.
