Davenport

Q: How did Davenport get its name?

Fort Davenport was set up in 1838 during the Second Seminole War and named for Colonel William Davenport, the local U.S. commander. The settlement was first called Horse Creek. Its post office opened in 1884 and was renamed Davenport in 1886, after the South Florida Railroad reached the area. Davenport was incorporated in 1915.

Q: How many people live in the City of Davenport?

Davenport had 9,043 residents in the 2020 Census. The Census Bureau's estimate for July 1, 2025 is 18,110. That count covers only the city limits, not the wider Davenport mailing area.

Q: Is ChampionsGate in Davenport?

ChampionsGate homes often have Davenport mailing addresses, but ChampionsGate is in Osceola County, not Polk County or the City of Davenport. Osceola County lists ChampionsGate and the Stoneybrook South development as separate projects. Stoneybrook South was approved by the county in 2005 on about 899 acres, with a golf course and a school site in the plan.

Q: Can homes in the Davenport area be used as short-term rentals?

It depends on the county, zoning and HOA. In unincorporated Polk County, the Land Development Code lists short-term rental units as permitted in some land use districts and as a conditional use in others. In Osceola County, short-term rentals are allowed only where zoning allows them, and the county's 2022 short-term rental listing names ChampionsGate and Stoneybrook South. HOA rules can be stricter, so check both for a specific home.

Q: What schools serve Davenport?

Homes in Polk County are served by Polk County Public Schools, and homes on the Osceola County side, such as ChampionsGate, by the School District of Osceola County. Public schools with Davenport addresses include Davenport High School and Ridge Community High School. Zoning can change and varies by street, so confirm a specific address with Polk County Public Schools' School Zones page or Osceola's school zoning page, and compare school grades in the Florida School Accountability Reports.

Q: What do homes in the Davenport area sell for?

Over the past two years (MLS data, October 2026), single-family homes with Davenport addresses sold for a median of about $381,000, and townhouses for about $300,000. These figures cover the whole Davenport mailing area, including Osceola County, not just the city. For today's listings, see the listings on this page.

Davenport is a city in northeast Polk County, southwest of Orlando. The Davenport mailing area extends along US 27 and I-4 toward ChampionsGate and the Four Corners area, where many resort-style and vacation-home communities are located.
