Westgate Central Homes for Rent

Westgate Central, located about 2 miles west of Downtown Lakeland, is an established neighborhood experiencing a residential transformation with the addition of new single-family homes. These custom-built spec homes, typically around 1,200 square feet, feature modern amenities like private driveways and attached garages or carports. The neighborhood also includes smaller traditional homes and ranch-style houses on larger lots, as well as several manufactured home communities offering affordable living options. Recreational amenities are abundant, with Westside Park providing ballfields and green spaces, and the nearby YMCA Par 3 offering youth golf programs and glow golf events. The Wabash Community Center supports local youth with afterschool and educational programs. Bonnet Springs Park, a major attraction, features creative playscapes and the Florida Children’s Museum, enhancing the neighborhood's appeal. Grocery shopping is convenient with Harveys Supermarket and Mega Mercado nearby, while Downtown Lakeland offers diverse dining options like Nineteen61 and Harry’s Seafood Bar & Grille. Public transportation is accessible via Citrus Connection bus stops, and regional travel is facilitated by the nearby Interstate 4. Despite its past as a Superfund site, the area along Olive Street has been remediated with soil removal and environmental improvements.
