Between nature and downtown Auburndale

Tucked between the Tenoroc Public Use Area (PUA) and Auburndale, Hamptons has a more private feel than downtown Auburndale, with quiet suburbs and a retirement community while still staying close to the area’s shops and historic district. Lakeland and Winter Haven, other larger towns in the area, are also close by, so Hamptons residents are well-connected and never short of activities and shopping. “In all these little communities, everybody’s got these little historic areas with little antiques and local shops,” says Broker Angela Worachek with eXp Realty.

Fish on the lakes at Tenoroc PUA

In the northern portion of Hamptons, residents can fish on piers, boardwalks and platforms at Tenoroc’s PUA’s 29 lakes. Along the Blue Loop Trail, birdwatchers can find several species of birds, including white ibis and snowy egret, but there are 38 other trails for biking, hiking and even horseback riding. In downtown Auburndale, the Historic Downtown Park offers the Auburndale Rotary Butterfly Garden, which supports pollinators with local flora. Lake Myrtle Sports Park is the place for athletes, sporting nine baseball diamonds and ten soccer fields.

Affordable homes and retirement communities in Hamptons

Most homes in Hamptons are simple stucco ranches and bungalows. Streets here are often shaded with mature trees, some dripping with Spanish moss, over more narrow streets without sidewalks. The neighborhood is also home to The Hamptons Golf and Country Club Resort of Auburndale, a 55-and-up gated community with its own golf course and other amenities. The community features manufactured siding ranch homes with carports.
When it comes to moving to the Auburndale area and Hamptons, Worachek highlights that affordability is a big draw. Most homes here list between 150,000 and 250,000 for a three-bedroom house. In the retirement community, properties list between 50,000 and 100,000. “When it comes to houses here, you definitely get more bang for your buck,” Worachek says. “It allows families to get in and invest in the future. You live in a house for two years, sell it and then move up. In Polk County, Winter Haven, Auburndale, it’s more realistic.”
