    Lives in Davenport over a year now and we love it. However I4 will give you time to examine all your life choices if you commute to Orlando.

    The traffic in Davenport is horrible. The freeways are always packed and so many aggressive drivers. It may say 20 mins to Disney but it will take almost 45+ minutes to get there and home.

    Greetings from a Davenport/Champions Gate resident of 8 years whose job is in Winter Springs.....big improvements are coming...traffic will eventually no longer be an issue as anyone that buys in the Champions Gate/West Haven/Davenport north of I4 will be in great financial shape...in other words...your investment as of 2021 will never leave you upside down if you get a fixed rate mortage....especially in Davenport where Poik county taxes are lower. Lastly, I4 exit 58 had its expansion expedited due to demand and there's an Advent health about to be built across the street...trust me....buy while you can

      The Traffic just became worse with all the Building near Champions Gate Exit 58, the Diverging Diamond Interchange improvement doesn't work if you are unable to get onto the I-4 Entrance Ramp!

Then out for a beautiful sunset bike ride!! Also air bnb 5k a month. All I need is a decent house, and to live in one bedroom with a mini book shelf and desk for computer and start my own air bnb business so I can easily clean and maintain the home correct. And a mini above ground pool outback! :D

    The growth rate is insane in the Orlando metro area , anywhere within decent driving distance to Disney and Universal. It's become just an asphalt jungle with a million cars and people driving like maniacs.
    I don't get how people can stand the traffic along with the high humidity and heat. One or the other, but both together would be insane.

      Jobs: A+ if you're in the medical field. Most people commute to Orlando/Tampa, hence the horrendous traffic merging from hwy-27 onto i4. In both directions. Schools: eh, hit or miss my kids did K thru 12. We moved from NYC years ago. It depends on how motivated the child is. The Charter School system is pretty ok. Not too hard to enroll during the open enrollment period.
