Davenport, FL: Pros & Cons | What you NEED to know about living in Davenport Florida

[@gloriabeckley7464]

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.

[@ben_the_nomad]

As someone completely unfamiliar with the area but looking at a potential quick buy/relocation to the Orlando area, this video is perfect; thank you

[@willhuie4015]

Glad you liked it!

[@angieraemai]

I live in Davenport. It’s not cheaper.

[@richardcook585]

i live here. it sucks

[@gogators5762]

Love it!! Traffic is the worst part of living here. Besides that its great!

[@chinkypanda73]

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.

[@nicolasbonajuniormetellus7828]

But Poinciana is worst

[@floridapunkarchivist]

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

[@frankkerze9608]

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!

[@cyounger99]

I just bought my first house in Davenport. Looking forward to moving in soon.

[@frankkerze9608]

We moved out 3 1/2 years ago from Providence Development because of the Traffic Congestion which became Terrible 4 years before that.

[@donaldpratt7099]

I moved to Davenport 14 years ago. I love living here.

[@joyride20001]

What the best area to leave in Davenport...thanks in advance

[@frankkerze9608]

Key word is "Leave".@@joyride20001

[@pbpunisher99]

I just went to check it out. I have never seen so much construction and housing developments being built. The traffic was horrible. I changed my mind to move there.

[@Kimberly-gq3us]

My fiancé and I are looking into the area for rent in the hopes to buy a home and this really helps! The pros and cons help a lot

[@minutewithmitch7609]

one thing for sure, lots of the same houses and palm trees as well as lightening strikes. :) One if my favorite things. Reading a book to a good thunderstorm!! 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

[@stressfreezone2633]

My family and I are moving to davenport in a few days from tampa! Super excited

[@willhuie4015]

Congrats! It’s a great place to live, I’m sure you guys will love it!

[@frankkerze9608]

Well Traffic is not quite as bad Tampa's but wait for it it will be!

[@ney8769n]

How safety is Davenport? Can you make a video about it? Crime, shooting, property steal.

[@fackeyutub-emael6545]

North davenport is better. The closer to 27, the more crime. Crime is much better than other counties.

[@tracykennedy3866]

Very important 👏 👌 😌 🙌 👍 tip .

[@christhebowman6084]

Moved out of the Orlando area three months ago. Traffic and cost is rough! Looking into Davenport area for rentals/eventually purchase home. It's beautiful out there. Would rather drive 40 minutes opposed to being stuck in traffic for 40 minutes

[@willhuie4015]

Trust me I totally get what you mean, it feels like traffic is just getting worse and worse no matter where you’re at in Orlando

[@frankkerze9608]

It will take you 40 minutes to get on I-4 from 17-92 near Providence / Ronald Reagan Road area!

Traffics is horrible and to get to Orlando during weekdays, you’re looking at 45 min to an hour

[@intjsavagery219]

Orlando it is all day. I love to and do travel to smaller, more rural cities in Central Florida for lunch, dinner, or a Night outing. That’s my ideal central Florida lifestyle. I enjoy it all. Great vid! 👌🏾

Could someone tell something about the schools? Thanks in advance!

Davenport high school is a brand new school that was constructed by Ronald Reagan road

Wow ,a big difference since I was raised there in the late 70s early 80s.

Hah the traffic is terrible getting on I-4 off 27 has been nuts lately.

I use to live in Davenport, on Ronald Reagan in a community called Loma Linda. When I bought my house in 1991 there was nothing there, Including Ronald Reagan. It was just called CR-54

[@datchulo1085]

How are the schools? And jobs there ?

[@shellym9504]

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.

[@hannaha4305]

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.

May I ask where Is closest Costco or Sams Club ?

[@tessamarsh9796]

Nearest Sams Club is in Kissimmee about 10 miles away from Champion’s Gate area on Highway 192. I’ve heard they are building a BJ’s at Posner Park which will be much closer and easier to get to.

BJ's at Posner Park recently opened

We are considering different communities in Florida to retire to. Traffic doesn’t really bother us, but we were curious about public transportation since we will probably have visitors from overseas who do not drive. Does Davenport have a bus system?

[@willhuie4015]

Not that I’ve seen, it is a very car dependent city.
