If you want a spacious private pool villa near Disney, in a gated community with convenient local amenities, Highgate Park is well worth considering for your Florida holiday.

Highgate Park Villas and Community Facilities

Highgate Park is a residential-style villa community rather than a large holiday resort with extensive clubhouse facilities. Its appeal lies in the privacy of individual homes, attractive surroundings and a convenient location for exploring the Orlando area.

Private Pool Villas

Highgate Park is known for its four- and five-bedroom detached villas, making it a good option for families who want plenty of room to relax after busy days at the theme parks.

Depending on the individual property, you may find:

• Four- and five-bedroom accommodation
• A private screened swimming pool
• Spacious living and dining areas
• A fully equipped kitchen
• En-suite bedrooms and family bathrooms
• Outdoor dining and sunbathing areas
• Games rooms with pool tables or other entertainment
• Private driveways and garage facilities at selected homes
• Garden, landscaped or pool-deck views

Each villa is individually furnished and equipped, so facilities will vary. Check the property's description and photographs carefully if you have specific requirements, such as a games room, a south-facing pool, pool heating or accommodation for a larger family.

Pool heating, where available, may carry an additional charge.

Gated Community and Shared Facilities

Highgate Park offers a more residential setting, with a gated entrance, landscaped surroundings and a selection of shared outdoor facilities.

Community facilities include:

• Tennis courts
• Children's playgrounds
• Basketball or other outdoor sports facilities, where available
• Landscaped communal areas and green spaces
• Lake and water views in parts of the wider area

The exact facilities available and guest access arrangements should be confirmed before travelling. Highgate Park should not be confused with larger resorts offering extensive communal swimming pools, water parks or full-service clubhouses. The main swimming facilities for many visitors will be the private pool at their chosen villa.

Where Is Highgate Park?

Highgate Park is located in Davenport, Polk County, Florida, within the wider Legacy Park community. Its position just off US Highway 27 makes it convenient for travelling to the Disney area and exploring the wider Central Florida region.

The nearby Berry Town Center provides a useful selection of shops, restaurants and everyday essentials, including a Publix supermarket. Additional shopping and dining options can be found along US Highway 27, around ChampionsGate and along the popular US Highway 192 corridor.

Highgate Park is particularly suitable for visitors who prefer a quieter residential-style community rather than staying in the busiest tourist areas, while still wanting convenient access to Orlando's attractions.

Highgate Park Location and Driving Times

Highgate Park provides a convenient base for visiting the major theme parks, shopping centres and golf courses around Orlando.

The following times are approximate driving estimates. Actual journeys depend on your exact villa address, traffic, roadworks and the park entrance or destination you need to reach.

These times are intended as a guide rather than a guarantee. Allow additional time during school holidays, rush hour and busy theme-park periods. Check live navigation using your individual villa address before setting off.

If the existing page includes an interactive Google Map, keep it in place and check that it works correctly on mobile devices. The map complements the written location information and helps visitors understand the surrounding area before booking.

Fastest Route from Orlando International Airport to Highgate Park

Orlando International Airport (MCO) is the main arrival airport for many visitors travelling from the UK to Florida.

The journey to Highgate Park generally takes around 35–45 minutes in normal traffic, although it can take longer during busy periods.

One possible route is to follow the Central Florida Greeneway (SR 417) before joining the I-4 West towards Tampa. From there, take Exit 55 onto US Highway 27 North towards Clermont and continue towards Legacy Park and Highgate Park.

Your best route may vary according to traffic conditions, roadworks and toll-road preferences.

Before setting off:

1. Confirm your villa's full address and check-in instructions.
2. Enter the address into your preferred navigation app.
3. Check current traffic and roadworks.
4. Check whether your route includes toll roads and how charges are handled by your hire-car company.
5. Follow the arrival instructions supplied by your villa provider, particularly for entry through the gated entrance.

If you are arriving after a long-haul flight, you may prefer to arrange an airport transfer and collect a hire car the following day.

Getting Around Highgate Park Without a Rental Car

Although taxis and app-based transport services operate in the Davenport and Orlando area, we generally recommend hiring a car when staying in a Highgate Park villa.

A car offers the greatest flexibility for visiting the theme parks, shopping for groceries, exploring local restaurants and travelling around Central Florida. It is particularly useful for families and larger groups who want to make the most of their stay.

There is no free theme-park shuttle advertised on the existing Highgate Park page, so visitors should plan their transport in advance.

If you prefer not to drive, private airport transfers can be arranged, and services such as Uber and Lyft may be useful for individual journeys. Prices and availability vary according to demand, journey distance and time of day.

Some private transfer providers can also arrange a stop at a supermarket on the way from the airport to your villa. Confirm this service and any additional charges when booking.
