New Homes in Lakeland-Winter Haven, Florida

Lakeland and Winter Haven are the perfect cities for raising a family. Warm, close-knit, and family-oriented, each city and its surrounding suburbs offer a truly "Florida" way of life, that will seem styled just for you and your family. You can tell this about the area just by taking a quick look around. With a mixed skyline of older and newer buildings, it's easy to tell Lakeland is a vibrant and prosperous city. In fact, it's been able to preserve seven historical districts, even as it expands and adjusts to the modern world. Winter Haven, the home of LEGOLAND Florida, is obviously kid-friendly from the get-go. But let's explore more of what makes these cities such a great place to life.

Winter Haven is known to children everywhere for one reason: LEGOLAND. This is the location of LEGOLAND Florida, an experience which transforms an everyday amusement park--into block form. It will be mesmerizing for your kids to walk into a world just for them. Adults may be interested in LEGOLAND's past as the smaller amusement park Cypress Gardens. In a turnaround success story typical of the area, the once-failing amusement park is now a kid's playground, and in its current incarnation as LEGOLAND, it's a great boon to the economy.

Meanwhile in Lakeland, a more grown-up (or maybe not) attraction draws crowds. This is Fantasy of Flight, a museum where the aviation buffs among you, young and old, will find a natural home. There are more than 40 kinds of aircraft on display, from the biplanes that look like aircraft the Wright brothers would have flown, to the bombers of World War II. You can even go up in one of the biplanes for a jaunt around the area. Lakeland-Winter Haven from the air must be quite a sight. With 38 lakes in Lakeland alone, so you'll have plenty to see as you soar above the land.

As you can imagine from the presence of the museum, there's a huge aviation community in Lakeland and Winter Haven. You can see this not only in the Fantasy of Flight, but also in the annual events of the Sun N Fun Fly-in, where local aviators take to the skies to celebrate their favorite pastime, and "fly-in" to camp out afterwards.

Not all recreation around here requires a pilot's license. Take Lake Parker, the largest lake in Lakeland. Considering there's a lot of competition in the area for that title (38 other lakes, in fact), it's worth it to visit Lake Parker and see if it lives up to the hype. Water skiing and boating are popular ways to cool off and enjoy the area's largest natural feature.

It's true, Florida can get hot. When you need a break from the heat, head indoors to the famous Polk Museum of Art. Casting a truly wide net, this small-but-impressive museum has amassed collections of Asian, African, Pre-Columbian, and modern and contemporary art. It also has the clout to attract artists and traveling exhibitions such as the portraits of photographer Annie Leibovitz, Southern collage artist Radcliffe Bailey, mixed-media artist Miroslav Antic.
