Small-town vibes in popular South Lakeland
The Highland City suburb of South Lakeland offers residents a wide variety of home styles and prices, plus proximity to parks and entertainment. “Lakeland is one of the top-growing cities in the nation, and Highland City is located in a prime area,” says lifelong resident Christine Hubbert, a Realtor with Team Hubbert at Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Fine Living who’s sold homes in the area for a decade. “It has that small-town vibe, small enough that you’re going to run into friends and family out in public.”
Homes big and small
Residents here can be seen strolling the narrow streets and well-maintained sidewalks past large, manicured lawns. Homes east of Yarborough Lane are typically minimal traditional and ranch-style homes built in the 1940s, though many of these older homes are being replaced with new ranch-style homes that have attached garages. A two-bedroom fixer-upper in this area can cost $122,000, while a six-bedroom with a three-car garage can cost $525,000, plus $21 in monthly homeowners association fees. Homes closer to Lake Hancock can cost up to $1 million.
To the south and west, suburban subdivisions built in the late ‘90s or early 2000s are common. Prices and home sizes increase further west, from $235,000 for a three-bedroom ranch-style fixer-upper to $1.3 million for a four-bedroom 3,500-square-foot New Traditional home built in 2023.
Highland City is a quiet neighborhood in Lakeland, Florida.

Catch largemouth bass on Lake Hancock
Locals can launch their boats and fish for largemouth bass at 4,500-acre Lake Hancock, one of the largest lakes in Polk County.

Banana Lake is another popular fishing spot, and its neighboring 10-acre Banana Lake Park has a playground and picnic shelters.

Spring training with the Detroit Tigers
Highland City residents can head to Lakeland for the Lakeland Christmas Parade each December, which kicks off with a fireworks show. Residents line the streets of downtown Lakeland to watch the parade of colorful floats, marching bands and community organizations. Throughout March, fans of Major League Baseball’s Detroit Tigers flock to Publix Field at Joker Marchant Stadium, the team’s spring training location, to watch their favorite players warm up for the season.
Highland City has a ball
“Sports is one of the big things here,” Hubbert says. “Lakeland is a very athletic area.” No Limits SportsPlex has youth and adult recreational leagues in volleyball, flag football and soccer. In addition to organizing youth baseball teams, Lakeland City Baseball offers the Buddy Ball League for kids with disabilities. Adults can enjoy the public Sanlan Golf Course, a 27-hole course with a driving range and practice facility, or the semi-private Club at Eaglebrooke’s golf course, rated by Golf Digest as one of the best places to golf.
