The Best Lakeland Florida Real Estate on the Market

The historic district of Lakeland is one of the most desirable places to live in Polk County. The houses and commercial real estate were built in built during the 1920s and 1940s. A lot of the homes have been rehabilitated and are protected by the city from being torn down. However, many real estate investors are interested in rehabbing the remaining unkempt houses. Even the distressed houses in the historic district can sell for a high price because their location demands a higher price for retail buyers. 

The best real estate in the historic district can be found around Lake Hollingsworth. These homes are the most expensive on the Lakeland market because of the desirability that living close to the lake brings. Many Lakelanders enjoy walking or running the well manicured Lake Hollingsworth, which has an area of around 350 acres and is located near the heart and center of Lakeland. The lake is surrounded by many large oak trees and squadrons of ducks which can commonly be seen patrolling the lake shore. Florida Southern College is located on the north side of the lake, the campus was designed by famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright.
