Hey Guys,

Just a quick thread looking for information on Davenport, FL. Our family is in the process of relocating to central Florida. (We currently are moving up from Miami, housing, lifestyle and people over all- its just getting completely crazy down here & a move has been in the works and long over due for sometime now).

A little bit about us:

We are 3 families relocating up!

1) grandparents, set to retire but are still working through their business. They have 1 other adult son who still stays with them.

2) My husband, baby and myself- couple in early/mid 30s. Business owners- looking to relocate for better quality of life for our daughter and to just lay down some roots for a while.

1) grandmother 2- divorced with 2 college kids freshman and softmore who by chance are also getting into UCF


We all would like better housing costs, which is why a little drive into Orlando is okay with us.

1) Would like a little land with our properties...coming from Miami- everyone is on top of each others house! Like literally your bathroom window into your neighbors lol...so just a cute home, with nice lot would be nice and...

2) better taxes. (I heard Polk county has lowest taxes in that area....currently my taxes for this year were 5 grand!!- Miami of course! this is for a 2 bedroom condo... no I am not kidding lol.

3) Also- the land/ no HOA thing is important to us b/c my husband and his parents business have work trucks that need to be parked on property... with our current HOA we cant do that & this would save us an additional $500/ month in storage costs!

Please let me know your thoughts and area suggestions!

Davenport is rapidly becoming a transportation and logistics hub for Florida in that a number of major players such as Amazon, the USPS and UPS are all building or have built distribution centers in the area.

For what you're looking for Polk County should do the job. Lots of land, cheap land, and relatively accessible to Orlando and Tampa. You will probably have to go outside of Davenport a ways to get what you want, but Polk County in general is one of the few parts of Florida that's not super rural and still affordable.

You might get a better response in the orlando forum, as it's far closer than Tampa.

Also, do realize that if you're considering driving into Orlando during peak times, the commute is pretty awful.
