A suburban community between Auburndale and Winter Haven
When it comes to celebrating community events, Inwood may have the best seat in the house. This Polk County suburb sits between Auburndale and Winter Haven, two cities known for hosting lively festivals throughout the year. Despite the proximity of these larger municipalities, Inwood maintains its small-town charm with central parks, schools and local establishments. “There’s a lot of little diner restaurants and small businesses, which gives Inwood a great community feel,” says Angie Reynolds, a lifetime resident of Polk County and a Realtor with Porchlight Homes LLC. It's not uncommon to see bikers cruising down the recently paved 1-mile trail that skirts Avenue O Northwest, and anglers are often spotted casting a line from the dock at Lake Cannon Park. The community is also home to walkable churches on 34th Street Northwest and a handful of industrial employers along Recker Highway.
New home communities are popping up all over the neighborhood and appeal to new home buyers.
Nestled between Winter Haven and Auburndale, Inwood exudes small town charm with a lot to offer.
Anglers enjoy fishing for largemouth bass, bluegill and black crappie around Lake Cannon Park.

Scenic parks are a highlight of Winter Haven’s chain of lakes
Winter Haven is well-known for its chain of lakes, a massive collection of interconnected waterways that Reynolds says attracts boaters and fishers across the county. Inwood residents have easy access to a number of those lakes, including Lake Cannon, which is bordered by a grassy, linear park stretching beside private docks. Paved pathways, dappled with shade from moss-tangled trees, wind between picnic areas, a boat ramp and a fenced-in playground. Lake Blue Park has a similar appeal, but its paved trail includes fitness stations. Although it’s not on a lake, Westwood Park is particularly popular for its spacious fields and central playscape. Simmers-Young Park, a destination for softball and soccer, sits right beside the Auburndale Speedway, where locals meet on Saturdays for stock car races.
Lake Cannon Park features a boat ramp with fishing dock for visitors to enjoy year round.

Inwood offers an eclectic mix of midcentury architecture and new construction. Recent developments include the gated Lake Deer subdivision, where Craftsman-inspired homes sell for between $250,000 and $350,000. Reynolds says many of the ranch-style and cottage homes built before 1960 are finally getting the attention they need, reinvigorating the market. “There’s a lot of opportunities in that area to get an updated home that’s still affordable. Investors are fixing up properties, so you’re able to get a home that’s like new for a much better price.” Since 2023, home prices have risen by 9%, with most homes selling between $200,000 and $280,000. Lakefront properties, including homes with private docks on Lake Cannon, are often the most expensive, selling between $300,000 and $500,000, while mobile homes provide the cheapest options at around $50,000.

Both Auburndale and Winter Haven offer career programs
Inwood students belong to two distinct school pathways, one for Auburndale Senior High and another for Winter Haven Senior High, both of which score B-minus on Niche. Students on the north side of the community may attend C-rated Fred G. Garner Elementary and C-minus-rated Westwood Middle before enrolling in Auburndale High’s Agritechnologies Academy, Digital Graphics Academy or Medical Academy. Students to the south may attend C-rated Inwood Elementary before joining their peers at Westwood Middle. In ninth grade, however, these students can join Winter Haven High’s Advanced International Certificate of Education program developed by the University of Cambridge. Polk County is also known for its magnet school options, which include B-minus-rated Jewett School of the Arts. Faith-based schools, such as the K-8 Immanuel Lutheran Church and School, are nearby.

Good eats on Avenue G
Most of Inwood’s commercial options sit along Havendale Boulevard, where furniture stores, locally owned markets and auto shops mingle with casual spots like Family Dollar and the occasional restaurant. Dino’s Drive-In is a blast from the past with a traditional park-and-order setup, and Smokin’ Jim’s House of Bar-B-Q is home to one of the largest smoker pits in the county. There’s also a Publix Super Market at the corner of Havendale and 42nd Street. Along Avenue G Northwest, shoppers will find family-run establishments such as Green’s Market, a full-service grocer and butcher open for nearly 50 years. Down the street, Cabana Boy Ice Cream is making a name for itself as the area’s newest dessert destination, serving up a weekly rotation of tropical flavors amid tiki décor.

Residents have a front-row seat to the Havendale Christmas Parade
Auburndale and Winter Haven are known for hosting lively events, and Inwood residents are at the heart of the action. Folks can spend the Fourth of July at the City of Winter Haven’s Rockin’ Freedom Fest or head to Auburndale’s International Market World for the annual Wonderland of Lights event in winter. But it’s the Havendale Christmas Parade, an event organized by both cities, that draws the largest crowd, Reynolds says. “They block off all lanes of Havendale between the two cities, and people come and sit out in chairs along the roadside. They have vendors selling cotton candy and glow sticks, and a lot of the businesses give out candy.”
Locals take part in many local events in nearby Downtown Winter Haven just minutes from Inwood.
Auburndale Speedway brings many racers nationwide to run the 1/4 mile paved oval & figure 8.

Navigate the county via Citrus Connection or Interstate 4
Although some residents use Citrus Connection buses to navigate Polk County, Inwood is primarily car-dependent. Major roadways such as Recker Highway connect drivers to U.S. Route 92 in Auburndale and Highway 17 near Winter Haven. Interstate 4 is about 10 miles away, giving commuters non-stop routes to Tampa and Orlando. Traveling by plane usually means a 20-mile trip to Lakeland Linder International Airport, but some local flights may be routed through Winter Haven Regional Airport.
For commuters, the Citrus Connection provides routes across the Inwood neighborhood.
WH Airport supports over 80,000 flight operations per year & operates a great flight academy.
