Close-knit active community 2 miles from Downtown Lakeland
Named for the camphor trees that line the community’s namesake road, Camphor is a close-knit residential community with early- to mid-20th-century homes shaded by the mature wooded canopy, about 2 miles from downtown Lakeland. “It has a lot of charm,” says Melissa Witter, local real estate agent at Keller Williams Realty Smart 1. “With cobblestone streets and a lot of old-school craftsmanship.” Locals gather at Dobbins Park or one of several nearby Christian churches for community events, including holiday celebrations or the annual puppy parade organized by the Camphor Heights Neighborhood Association; Residents can also venture north to visit the vintage shops along Florida Avenue or explore nearby diners and eateries.
Ranch-style homes from the early- to mid-20th century
Developed primarily between 1920 and 1960, Camphor is full of established homes lined by narrow, well-maintained roads. While three-bedroom midcentury modern ranch-style homes and cottages are most common, usually selling for around $250,000, recently renovated four-bedroom Colonial and Spanish Revival-style homes can sell for as much as $500,000. Most homes sit on uniform quarter-acre lots, with flat grassy front lawns and covered front porches lined by sidewalk-less roads. In the neighborhood's southwest corner, Bedrock Citrus Center is a mobile home community for residents 55 and older.
CitrusConnection bus routes around Lakeland
The CitrusConnection bus system serves Lakeland and the surrounding town, with the Peach Line circling Camphor before heading 2 miles to downtown. Nearby airports include Lakeland Linder International Airport, about 5 miles away, and Southpoint Medical Group Hospital, less than 2 miles south. Interstate 4 is about 5 miles away and can take residents 68 miles northeast to Orlando and 35 miles west to Tampa.
Vintage shopping and local eateries along Florida Avenue
A few blocks north of the neighborhood on Florida Avenue, the historic Dixieland neighborhood is home to vintage shops like Dixieland Relics and locally owned bars like Cob & Pen, which serves sandwiches and standard bar fare. Serving comfort food to the community for over 75 years, Reececliff Family Diner is best known for its pie. Southgate Shopping Center is located a little over a mile away with Publix grocery store and Bealls department store.
Playgrounds and basketball courts at Dobbins Park
Spanning 10 acres on Camphor’s north side, Dobbins Park includes two playgrounds with climbing structures, a zip line, and swing sets; the park’s basketball court and multipurpose fields give plenty of space for local kids to play. Lake Hollingsworth, one of the largest in Central Florida’s Chain of Lakes, is encircled by a 3-mile biking and walking path where birdwatchers can spot spoonbills, pelicans, plovers and dowitchers.
Public and private school options in Polk County
Local kids may attend Dixieland Elementary School, rated C-plus by Niche, or the C-rated Southwest Middle. The B-plus-rated Lakeland Senior High offers veterinary and fashion academies where students can earn industry certifications in their fields. Located in Camphor’s northwest corner, the A-rated Lakeland Christian School is the oldest and largest private school in Polk County, serving students in kindergarten through grade 12.
Community celebrations from the Camphor Heights Neighborhood Association
The Camphor Heights Neighborhood Association is responsible for maintaining the neighborhood’s friendly spirit, with their Seriously Fun Committee working with nearby neighborhoods to plan activities. “They organize many events that benefit the community,” Witter says. “Toys for tots, big craft fairs, that kind of thing.” Holidays are accompanied by zombie crawls and house decorating contests, with other activities including movie nights at Dobbins Park and a puppy parade as part of National Night Out, a night in August dedicated to building community.
