Background

A brief history

Del Webb Orlando at Ridgewood Lakes opened in 2007 as La Cresta by Del Webb before being renamed. Originally planned for 830 homes, the community has grown into one of Polk County's most successful 55+ developments. Built on rolling ranch land within the master-planned Ridgewood Lakes golf-course community, it offers a rare combination of active-adult living and championship golf in Central Florida. The community reflects Del Webb's national reputation for lifestyle-focused retirement communities, bringing resort-style amenities and planned activities to Davenport's southeastern corridor.

The centerpiece, Montecito—a 30,800 square-foot clubhouse completed in the community's early years—was designed to anchor social life and wellness activities for residents. The architecture and layout emphasize walkability and community gathering, with multiple dining and recreation spaces. Over the years, the community has evolved while maintaining its original vision: a vibrant, low-maintenance setting for active retirees who value golf, fitness, travel, and social connection.

The feel

What it's like to live here

Del Webb Orlando at Ridgewood Lakes feels like a resort-meets-neighborhood. Tree-lined streets, well-maintained common grounds, and the sight of golfers on the adjacent Ridgewood Lakes Golf Course create an atmosphere of established affluence and leisure. Homes range from contemporary single-story designs (Classic Collection, 1,600–2,831 sq ft) to charming garden-style cottages (Garden Collection, 978–2,238 sq ft), giving the community visual variety without clashing aesthetics. The gated entrance and active security reinforce exclusivity and safety—key selling points for retirees.

The real character emerges from community life. A dedicated lifestyle director orchestrates dozens of clubs—from cigar enthusiasts to computer hobbyists, water volleyball to wine tastings. The Montecito clubhouse pulses with activity: yoga classes in the morning, bridge tournaments in the afternoon, seasonal galas in the evening. You'll see residents in golf carts heading to the course, neighbors gathering at the coffee bar, and groups meeting for pickleball on the courts outside. It's a place where people actively choose to be social, yet privacy and personal space are always available just steps away.

The details

What to expect

Architecture & Homes

Del Webb Orlando homes are modern, efficient, and low-maintenance—exactly what retirees want. The Classic Collection offers single-story or loft elevations with open floor plans, ranging from 1,600 to 2,831 square feet. The Garden Collection features charming smaller footprints (978–2,238 sq ft) ideal for downsizers. Most homes built after 2007 include Energy Star certification, updated HVAC systems, and finishes that have aged well. Curb appeal is consistent across the community; HOA design guidelines ensure cohesion without monotony. You'll find no poorly maintained homes here—the standard is high.

Amenities & Lifestyle

The Montecito clubhouse is the crown jewel: 30,800 square feet of resort-style living space. Inside: indoor lap pool, resistance pool, indoor walking track, full fitness center with aerobics and dance studio, billiards and card rooms, hobby and craft spaces, coffee bar, and a grand ballroom hosting everything from dances to lectures. Outdoors: two tennis courts, half-court basketball, four pickleball courts, three horseshoe pits, four bocce ball courts, outdoor pool and spa, and a fishing dock on one of the lakes. A full-time lifestyle director manages clubs and activities—cigar group, water volleyball, computer club, yoga, Zumba, meet-and-greet breakfasts, seasonal events, and holiday parties. The Ridgewood Lakes Golf Course (72-par, public) is directly adjacent; residents can choose membership levels from casual play to full country-club status.

Schools

While Del Webb residents typically don't have school-age children, the area is served by Polk County public schools: Dundee Elementary (B− rating), Dundee Ridge Middle (B rating), and Ridge Community High (C+ rating). Nearby private options include Ridge Christian Academy. For visiting grandchildren, Polk County schools offer after-school activities, music programs, and sports. However, the focus of the community is clearly on adult learning and enrichment—art classes, computer training, and lecture series are standard at the clubhouse.

Location & Access

Del Webb Orlando is located in Davenport, approximately 25–30 minutes southwest of downtown Orlando and roughly 45 minutes from Walt Disney World and Universal Studios. This proximity to major attractions makes it attractive to active retirees who travel or entertain out-of-state visitors. The community sits off Horse Creek Road, on the border of Ridgewood Lakes Boulevard and Del Webb Boulevard—easy freeway access to I-4 for broader Central Florida mobility. Local conveniences include shopping, dining, and medical facilities in nearby Haines City and Winter Haven. The setting offers rural tranquility without isolation.

Market Commentary

What the market is doing

When I show homes in Del Webb Orlando, I'm selling three things: the home itself, the community lifestyle, and the location. Price-wise, the $200K–$425K range reflects both new construction and resales of varying age and condition. At $214 per square foot, Del Webb homes hold value better than many surrounding Davenport properties—you're paying for the amenities package and the 55+ guarantee. The median around $315K puts it squarely in the sweet spot for active retirees stepping down from their family home. Inventory tends to be steady (we typically see 10–15 homes for sale), so there's choice without a buyer's market crunch. If you're listing here, your buyer is already a golfer, an active social person, or someone who wants to be—that's your angle.
