Highlands Reserve

Non-gated golf community with vacation villas

Highlands Reserve is a Davenport golf community built mainly from the late 1990s through the 2000s, with a championship 18-hole course, family neighborhoods, and a vacation-villa enclave. It is the open-gate alternative to the area's gated communities, often at more accessible prices.
