About Davenport
Davenport has around 2,000 residents and lies near Lake Tohopekaliga and Lake Marion, about 30 miles west of Orlando. The town itself is relaxed, with very little commercial enterprise, while the wider area has hotels and restaurants and is growing rapidly. Its appeal is as a base for Walt Disney World, Epcot, Universal Studios and SeaWorld rather than as a destination. The homes are scattered widely around Davenport, so check the map. Homes are mostly large, sleeping eight or more, with a private pool, air conditioning and a garden. Golf is well represented, with two large courses, and Posner Commons is a newer plaza off US 27 and I-4. The main shopping is in the larger centres of Orlando, Tampa and Kissimmee, so plan supplies around driving.
