We have been in Lakeland for over 48 years. We know you will come to love our city for the same reasons we have.
With the recent growth, it has become one of the most desired locations in Central Florida, especially for those looking to retire. Those moving from northern states (i.e. Michigan, Ohio, Wisconsin) will enjoy the gorgeous local beaches, numerous outdoor activities, and, of coarse, the daily average temperature of 73 degrees.
Lakeland is also nestled close to major cities, such as Tampa and Orlando, providing many opportunities for weekend getaways and perfect for those visiting from out of state.
