Lakeside living in the heart of Swan City
Near the heart of Lakeland, Florida, Lake Beulah is a neighborhood blending historic charm, urban convenience and natural beauty. The primarily residential suburb hugs a lake of the same name, offering a peaceful feel, with Downtown Lakeland less than 2 miles away. About 35 miles east of Tampa, Lakeland is the largest city on the Interstate 4 corridor between Orlando and Tampa, making it a central transportation hub and providing access to area amenities. Lakes are the city’s defining feature, and Lake Beulah is one of 38 spread across Lakeland, populated with hundreds of swans that earned it the name “Swan City.” Outdoor recreation is a big draw here, as well as affordability and proximity to trendy restaurants and stadiums. “Lakeland is one of the top-growing cities in the nation, and Lake Beulah is located in a prime area,” says Christine Hubbert, a Realtor with Team Hubbert at Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Fine Living. “It has that small-town vibe, small enough that you’re going to run into friends and family in public.”
