About Charles Cove

Welcome to Charles Cove — a friendly, newer single-family community in Davenport, FL 33837. Whether you just moved in or you're a longtime neighbor, here's a warm introduction to what makes the neighborhood feel like home: the amenities, the location, the schools, and the everyday essentials.

Welcome to the Neighborhood

A newer Davenport community built for everyday life

Charles Cove is a single-family home community built by D.R. Horton in Davenport, FL 33837, in Polk County. Most homes went up in the early 2020s, so the neighborhood has a fresh, modern feel — newer construction, current finishes, and tidy, sidewalk-lined streets just off the area's main corridors.

It's the kind of place where neighbors wave on a morning walk, kids find each other at the playground, and weekends drift between the pool deck and a cookout on the community park. Families, first-time homeowners, remote workers, and folks who work in the nearby Orlando and Disney attractions economy all call Charles Cove home.

This hub exists to make settling in and staying connected easy — one friendly place for the events, resources, and local know-how our community shares.

Schools

Verify your assigned schools by address

Charles Cove is served by Polk County Public Schools. School assignments vary by exact address and can change from year to year, so the only reliable way to confirm your zoned schools is to look up the specific property with the county's official tool.

HOA & CDD

Understanding the community's fees

Like many newer Florida communities, Charles Cove has both a Homeowners Association (HOA) and a Community Development District (CDD). In plain English: the HOA looks after community standards and shared upkeep, while the CDD is a special-purpose entity that funds and maintains certain community-wide infrastructure and improvements.

If you're new here — or just want to understand what each one covers and how it factors into your monthly numbers — we keep a friendly breakdown in one place.

About This Hub

Made by a neighbor, for the neighborhood

This site is run by a neighbor who lives and works in the Davenport area and got tired of watching good information scatter across group chats and lost flyers. Everything here is aggregated from official sources, labeled, and linked — and when something's wrong, we fix it. Have a correction, an event, or a recommendation? Say hello.

This hub is an independent resource for the Charles Cove community. Questions about the neighborhood market, or thinking about selling or buying here? Reach out — happy to help, no pressure.
