Buy to Let properties are common for those looking to invest in their Florida dream home.  However, where you look for that home is imperative in the Orlando area.  Not all counties allow for managed short-term rentals.  For this reason Polk County is one of the most popular areas for investing.  As part of the famed "four corners" Polk neighbors Orange County where Disney is located. 

Davenport is a charming locale that is part of Polk County AND neighbors Disney World.  It offers the best of both worlds!  Surprisingly, this area has remained relatively unchanged despite the massive growth and tourism to the north.  Some call Davenport, "The Gateway to the Ridge" as the Lake Wales Ridge hills originate here and stretches south for 100 miles - the setting is quite lovely.  Situated along US 17 and just east of US 27, convenience to the tourist giant is key for healthy rentals.  Davenport is actually only two square miles in size, yet it is the center of a booming residential area.  Disney’s rapid expansion in combination with acres of vacant land formerly used for citrus growers has created the perfect environment for many new subdivisions to thrive. 

Recently, The Heart of Florida Regional Medical Center relocated to a complex just west of the Davenport area which has also helped to stimulate growth.  This area is largely popular with UK buyers as it offers a healthy buy to let market and provides a myriad of recreational opportunities.  Citizens enjoy a public swimming pool, two tennis courts and basketball complexes, four ball fields, and several children’s parks.  The town also supports a summer youth recreation program and an adult sports league.
