About Landings at Mount Olive

Landings at Mount Olive is a Starlight Homes single-family community located at 5530 Beldi Drive in Polk City, Florida (33868). Positioned between Orlando and Tampa near Lakeland, the community sits along scenic waterfront and offers a small-town feel with straightforward access to I-4 and US-98 — making it a realistic commuter option for both the Orlando and Tampa metro job markets.

Starlight Homes builds with an "everything-included" approach: every home at Mount Olive comes with a full appliance package (washer, dryer, refrigerator, microwave, oven, dishwasher), granite countertops, updated cabinets, open-concept layouts, and a two-car garage as standard features. Home sizes range from 1,164 to 2,260 sq ft across six plan options, starting in the $295,000s.

Community amenities include a pool, cabana, tot lot, fitness trail, and dog stations. As of July 2026, 13 homes are available with 6 move-in ready — indicating meaningful inventory that gives buyers real negotiating leverage.

Price Range (current)

$296K–$375K

Some homes show price reductions from original list. With 13 available units, there is room to negotiate. Contact me before making an offer.

HOA & CDD

Verify the current HOA fee schedule and whether a CDD applies. Polk County communities sometimes carry both. Get the full annual cost breakdown before signing — it affects your debt-to-income ratios and monthly payment.

Location & Commute

Roughly 45–55 min to Orlando (I-4 east) and 50–60 min to Tampa (I-4 west). Lakeland is ~20 min south. Polk City itself is quiet — dining, shopping, and services are primarily in Lakeland or Winter Haven.

Starlight's Preferred Lenders

Velocio Mortgage (NMLS #1529234) and Trailblazer Mortgage (NMLS #2106646). Incentives require these lenders. You can use your own lender but will likely forfeit the rate buydown and closing credits.

Current Incentives

Starlight runs incentives through the Starlight Homes Advantage program, which packages interest rate buydowns and closing cost credits — but requires using their affiliated lenders to qualify. Active in the Orlando/Polk area as of July 2026:

⚠️ With 13 homes sitting unsold, you have more leverage than the sales team will volunteer. Before making an offer, contact me — I'll identify which homes have been sitting longest and structure an offer that uses current inventory as leverage.

Co-op Status

Starlight Homes generally offers buyer's agent co-op at Landings at Mount Olive. That said, co-op terms can change at any time and may vary by specific home. The right move is to contact me before you visit or register — I'll verify the current policy and get you properly registered so you don't inadvertently waive your right to representation.

📌 Register before you visit. Starlight's sales process, like most builders, treats unregistered visitors as direct leads. If you walk in or sign up on their website without an agent, adding one afterward is usually not possible. Contact me first — it takes minutes and protects you completely.
