Terrace Ridge

It suits buyers who want a gated, low-maintenance community with quick access to Central Florida's attractions — Disney is about 26 minutes out and MCO airport around 37. Seven of the current listings are gated, which appeals to both full-time residents and owners who travel. The trade-off is a quieter, condo-style setting rather than a resort with heavy amenities.

Compared to Davenport's resort communities, it's on the affordable side, with a median list price of $209,900 and homes ranging from $175,000 to $255,000. The average price works out to about $148 per square foot for homes near 1,542 square feet. Buyers wanting more amenities can compare against Highlands Reserve and other nearby options.

Active listings run from $175,000 to $255,000 with a median of $209,900, and homes sold over the past year closed at a median of $191,250. That sold figure below the current list median suggests sellers are meeting buyers partway on price.

There are nine active listings and eight homes sold in the past 12 months, so it's a smaller, slower-moving market with a 115-day median time on market. Sellers averaged about 96% of asking, which means well-prepared buyers have real negotiating room.

The median HOA here is about $670 a month, which typically reflects the gated setup and shared community maintenance, so factor that into your monthly budget. Property taxes run around $2,449 a year at the median. Always confirm exactly what the HOA covers on any specific unit before you write an offer.
