Why We Love Living in Davenport Florida 

Wow! I love this video, we plan on moving this fall to Davenport FL and just hearing you guys make me so excited, thank you so much!💞💞💞

Ive lived in Downtown El paso, Seattle and Jacksonville. Ive never felt unsafe... This is 100% a mind set....

Great video , great info , sounds amazing , looking to relocate from here in england . Thank you for taking time to shoot such a great video . Kind regards paul

I appreciate your videos! The information is helping with our decision-making in where we want to buy property at.

I just moved to Melbourne, FL, but just W of 95. I like being 15-20miles off the beach here. I’ve got 60’ trees all over my yard but still close enough to everything. I like being closer to C. Florida for the same reasons you all do! Your vids helped us make out minds up to move to FL, so thank you.

We just put a down payment on our forever home in Davenport on Monday. Thank you for all the information in this video!

Thank you for your videos! You helped us so much make the decision to move to Champion's Gate in Davenport. We're moving from Chicago, IL down to FL!!! We close in 2 weeks!!!!!! You guys are awesome!

Love this video AND that pool. 🥰

glad your Back we missed you

Please talk more about Davenport, I feel like your video was based more on what’s 30min away and further. We are going there tomorrow to visit some builders and see some model homes. Thanks for the great videos!

When I first saw the word Davenport - I thought Iowa! Silly me. I can hardly wait until we move south away from the blizzards, ice storms here in Iowa. Winters in Iowa are depressing - I can't stand the cold - or winter driving... sliding off the icy roads. Looking forward to warm weather, great restaurants, fabulous shopping and wonderful outdoor activities that Florida has to offer ! Thank you for your video.. I know that there are a bunch of us just itching to move south to Florida....

Just found your site. We are closing on our house in Davenport tomorrow. We looked all over the Orlando area and for the all the reasons you mentioned decided on Davenport (Clermont was our other choice). Glad to have found your site and look forward to viewing your other videos' as we explore the area.

Thank you so much for all the info guys!!

Welcome back love your videos

Congrats on the new house!! 😃

As usual...Thank you guys!

We have been in Lakeland for only 2 months but love it.

I've never seen a town in the middle of no where with so much traffic!!! Davenport is a very nice area though! Check out Old town they have some real cool car shows.

First and foremost, I just discovered your channel a few days ago and love it. It's funny that you are from Davenport because that is the city that my family and I are moving to. We went down in February of 2020 to look at houses in different communities. By the time we got back to CT where we currently live at, Covid shut things down. We've rented a house next door in Clermont back in 2011 and fell in love with the whole area. We always went back to that same area almost every other year since. It is close to everything. Davenport definitely has many beautiful communities. We will be moving sometime in the summer or fall of this year. Who knows, maybe we'll be neighbors. Lol. Thank you for having your channel. Very informative for those who are not familiar with Florida. My advice to everyone like you guys have mentioned is do your homework like we have for the last 10 years. Can't wait to move and leave the snow and cold behind.

We are moving to Lakeland Florida in April we could use some helping finding a house to rent in that area even Auburndale, Winterhaven area.

We are in Davenport too! Moving from the Florida Pines subdivision to Sandy Ridge where we just bought our first home!

Shhhhh stop telling everyone! At least until we get a house! :-) JK thanks for the info!

I moved to Davenport from the NE region and have been here about a year now. I love Davenport but I would say it’s growing very quickly. I expect it’s because it’s a great location being close to Disney, Orlando, and Tampa. Traffic on i-4 can be rough but most of central FL is fairly busy unless you live in a rural part. Schools are hit or miss as well. Some very good and some not so much from what I have heard.

Love your videos keep it up!

My wife and I are moving to Florida.. Davenport is on the list as is Lakeland. Thanks for information!

I love 1am longboard cruising on the Main Street of Clearwater beach

Can't wait, we just went under contact on house in Davenport.....man I miss FL.. :)

We have been coming to four corners area for the past 4 years.(we stay about 4-5 months each time.) Now we want to make the move to Florida soon!

You guys have inspired me to do my own videos on my experience on moving to florida. Im closer to tampa and so far love it. Only been here for 2 weeks so still adjusting

Looking at the space coast from central coast of CA. Really like your videos! Jeremy

I am moving to Davenport from California. Signed contract for a new home last week. See you there!

I lived in Davenport for almost 16 years, now. Before that, grew up in the Dr. Phillips area in Orlando. My parents still live in the same house in Dr. Phillips area. Davenport now reminds me of Dr. Phillips (in terms of growth) back in the 80s and early 90s hence all the traffic but there are a lot of backroads to avoid I-4 mess. I'm glad I moved here. The location is great for daytrips to the parks or beaches. Even the state parks are close. Only sad part they destroyed over 6 orange groves surrounding our subdivision for new housing development, but we do have a protected nature reserve behind our subdivision with great views, although sometimes the wildlife likes to visit our neighborhood. lol Oh well, #floridalife

Are you guys still in Davenport? We just bought a house there, move when construction is complete. immigrating there from Canada. Thaks for all your videos. has inspired us.

Good points . . .

Hey guys great video

I want a house tour! Obviously staying in Davenport limited your house search so what specific things were on your "must have list" when buying your home?

Hello, thank you for this video but I wanted to please ask how are the cases of sink holes in Davenport?

What are the best places to live in the Tampa area to commute to work in Tampa (VA Hospital)?

My daughter just moved into Victoria park apts in Davenport. So far she loves it! Thanks for the video :)

Just subbe,thank you for good info.We love the Davenport area.Orlando has been our vacation spot since 2000.First years we stayed in resorts close to Disney but since 08 we have rented pretty mutch the same vacation home in Highlands Reserve.(abot 3 week stays) We live in the south of Norway and as i went in to early retirement we are thinking of snowbirding"up to 3 months at the time x2 to begin with.My wife and i have 2 kids 19 and 16 that both work and study on line.Looking at pool homes with 4+ bedrooms.Thinking about both renting or buying a short time rental maybe ?

Hope to move down their one day. My brothers and I have gotten into real estate, so I'd be most likely waiting for them to help chip in a house somewhere. Hopefully their!! I have to get ready to be more on my own as well. I'm in my mid 25ish and hope by 30-40 I can be down their. Or less! My job has a site down their in Davenport, I herd bad things about it like knowbody knows what they're doing down their. I think I would just have to learn a little bit about everything and hopefully they have enough work for a while!! I herd some people went to my job site and moved down their and had to come back up here because of work. I hope that doesn't happen to me!! I have to hang out with people who been their for a while! Plus I hope i'd get paid the same. I love the activities you can do. Storms! Beaches here and their, Horses!! I want to lease a horse but may have to give that up for a bit. Small Bike ride in the warm December sun. Kayaking. That's about it. I'd drive to ocala and somehow budget in Horse stuff!? :( IDK how but it's gonna work! Plus I'm going to rent out my house to other people.

Thank you so.much for.informative video. Is Dabenport of Hurricane/flood zone? How often it happends? Thank you

Looking at a new built close to Posner Park off of Ernie Caldwell, let's hope it works out.

I keep seeing home prices in Davenport seem much more affordable but then I look up the schools in the area and I have to stop. Are the schools actually that bad? Are there any good schools in the area?

Welcome to Davenport not to much around here but it is quite

Hi, shocked to see you out of the victoria woods area.

I like to see a new build

Hello, thanks for sharing so much information. Do you have any recommendations for property management companies that have properties for rent in Davenport? Looking to move in the next few months, but wanted to rent for a year prior to buying. Davenport was an area we were targeting. Any insight or management companies you can recommend would be great. Thank you in advance.

I'm literally visiting Florida as we speak. I am coming from Idaho and am not really liking what I am seeing in the Orlando area. Tomorrow Davenport it is!

I lived in 4 corners for a short time. Davenport is slower paced then Orlando, more affordable and a short drive to attractions. However the majority of the schools have very low ratings. I have 3 children and at the time they were high school,middle and elementary. So it ended up not being an option for me to move to....however now that everything is online...ahhahah I may have made a mistake. Then again...I HAVE to live close to the Disney character warehouse and that was a drive for me

The schools in Davenport are rated not so great which has always turned us off the area. How have you found them?

Great video guys. My family and I have been here in Florida for almost a year now. We’re currently in Winter Park. I absolutely love it. Davenport was another area we were looking into. But I noticed the differences in “tourist” pricing at certain merchants. Has the affected you guys in any way?

Are you guys close to Watersong?

I didn’t realize that you moved to a new house. Congratulations. 🎉

I love Polk County!

Davenport is great. The location can't be beat. It's so close to all of the action.

Are they opening a costco in Davenport??

In the area to look for a community Any suggestions in Davenport

Looking to move to this area in the next 6 months, looking for a rental for my family of 6, myself, wife, and 4 kiddos for at least a 4br 3 bath place. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated?

We will be moving from Oregon

Guys we are starting our drive to Florida today.

Is it a gated community? I think we want to live there while I go to school in Orlando

thanks for your video. is it easy to rent out if buying investment property at davenport? thanks.

any feedback on the new community Preakness Preserve and surroundings?

Why not the east cost or the west cost of Florida?

Looking to buy home in Davenport any suggestions thanks

Davenport is super expensive- Sep. 2023; pool maintenance, landscape maintenance, property taxes, water and electricity all utilities are expensive and everything is so far away that i'ts a waste of time and gas at the pump. the traffic is another issue.

Başarılar dilerim hello

Just bought a SFD at 33837

Hey! I’m moving to Florida from illnois in July where’s the most affordable houses just got my girl and I and 3 dogs we want to be by the Disney parks

You too are very cute people I’ve lived in Davenport for the last 10 years prior to that I live next to Universal Studios Florida out 10 years and then moved back here to Davenport So in the last 10 years what I’m saying is the traffic has become so bad that if you want to go to Universal Studios anytime after 9 o’clock in the morning you got to plan an hour just to get there. And if you want to go to the beach the best beaches to go to her on the Gulf coast and they are an hour and 30 minutes away minimum mostly An hour and 45 minutes to Clearwater Beach. So as you’re getting everybody’s so excited about moving to Florida tell him about the 5000 new units apartments and houses that is that have gone up in the last four years and made it practically impossible to get to Orlando in less than an hour.

I thought you didn't have a pool. Did you recently move?

I live in Davenport in regal palms

i live there

I moved to Davenport last year from new York . Let's collab

Why Davenport?

How is elementary school here

Do you guys miss it?

Well yea davenport is great But building too fas t. Our roads cannot handle the rate these houses are being built. The traffic can be really bad. If we want to expand try helping our roads. I am a homeowner here also. I have been here for 11 years. There are also a lot of travelers here renting houses in the communities. You can live next door to many people being these houses are always rented for tourism. Be sure to check the communities out. It’s a great place but it as some things that may bother you.

Hey guys where do you guys work?

How about Bok Towers? Exit 55😃

Safety is my biggest concern! I saw the prices of the homes and how close it is to Disney and it sort of made me nervous. We live in a very safe area right now in New England and I’m just worried about crime. I just want to make sure that my family will be as safe as possible, but Davenport seems to hit most of all of our check marks

I have Loved Florida my whole life and will retire there. I grew up in the South and it seems like too many people are moving there that do not understand that you must really love the heat, bugs , wildlife, etc. There are way too many people moving to Florida and all these people are ruining Florida. Yes it's nice in the winter in Florida but when the rest of the country in nice and cool the rest of the year Florida is an oven. I know people from up North and the Midwest who moved to Florida and eventually started to hate the heat and humidity where as people from the South such as myself absolutely love the heat. I would say fifty percent of people from the North and the Midwest will not make it five years.

What about snaked give it to me straight hehe

Davenport sucks 😂

Whats the best subdivision to buy under $375k?
