Combee Settlement
Neighborhood Reviews
Minimal Traditional-style housing with covered porches
Homes in Combee Settlement are typically packed close together along flat, sidewalk-less streets, many with above-ground backyard pools. “What’s nice is that we’re more protected from hurricanes,” Woods says. “We get them, but don’t get blasted like the coast.” Midcentury Minimal Traditional-style homes, including many manufactured homes with two bedrooms, covered porches and gated yards, usually sell for between $100,000 and $200,000, while late 20th-century ranch-style homes with three bedrooms and attached garages can sell for around $300,000. More recently built properties, including three-bedroom bungalows with shingle roofs and stucco exteriors and four-bedroom Modern Craftsman-style properties with large fenced-in backyards, can sell for between $300,000 and $400,000.
Commuting on Citrus Connection buses
With Tampa about 35 miles away on U.S. Route 92 and Orlando 50 miles away on Interstate 4, Combee Settlement residents can commute to major cities for work or just for fun. Citrus Connection’s Orange Line bus can take locals 4 miles into Downtown Lakeland. Nearby hospitals include Watson Clinic Hospital, about 5 miles away, and Lakeland Linder International Airport, about 12 miles away.Stocking up on groceries at local markets
The dining options are concentrated off Route 92, otherwise known as East Memorial Boulevard, which runs along the community’s southern edge near Crystal Lake. Residents can grab a quick bite at Hungry Howie’s or enjoy the barbecue at BubbaQue’s. Also nearby is Harvey’s Supermarket, one of Combee’s grocery stores. A few of the others, Dollar General Market and Lakeland Discount Grocery are located along County Road 33, which runs north of Memorial Boulevard.

Fishing and boating through Saddle Creek Park
The community's outdoor recreational activities are centralized at Aldine Combee Park. The nearly 20-acre facility has baseball fields for organized youth leagues, a picnic area with a screened-in pavilion and a rodeo arena. Outside Combee is Saddle Creek Park, a 740-acre tract with a maze of lakes comprising a series of old phosphate pits. Visitors can enjoy fishing, boating and the park's numerous trails.

Technical education curriculums at local schools
Local kids can attend Philip O’Brien Elementary School or Crystal Lake Middle, both rated C by Niche. The C-plus-rated Tenoroc High offers several technical programs like their Agricultural Studies, Construction and Electric Power Academies, where students can earn certifications and shadow professionals in their chosen field.
Local Rodeos at Aldine Combee Arena
While the Aldine Combee Arena at the park of the same name no longer hosts citywide and countywide rodeo events, it remains a gathering place for the community. It is home to monthly rodeo events by Legends in the Making, a nonprofit organization supported by local businesses. Events include sheep riding, calf riding, bull riding, barrel racing and pole bending.

Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
