Attractions and access in a lakefront setting
The South Florida neighborhood of Lakeshore enjoys a natural lakefront setting and easy access to a pleasing set of amenities. Every house in the neighborhood is withing walking distance of Lake Parker. Residents can enjoy neighborhood sports attractions such as Tigertown and historic Henley Field. And they have the convenience and luxury of a regional health center campus and access to the Lakeland’s buzzy downtown district and shopping centers. “It’s close to everything without the hustle and bustle,” says Cyleste McClintock-Goodson, a Realtor with Regal Real Estate LLC and lifelong city resident. “People like the access, but they still want to maintain that small-town feel. It’s the perfect central location in Lakeland.”
Lakeshore gets its name from the bordering Lake Parker.
Lake Parker Park host one of the few disk golf courses in the Lakeland area.

Tigertown and Parker Lake are the main attractions
Tigertown is a can’t-miss attraction on the neighborhood’s north side. Major League Baseball’s Detroit Tigers play their spring-training home games there on Publix Field at Joker Marchant Stadium. Once the big-league ballclub breaks camp for the start of the regular season, the field becomes the domain of the Lakeland Flying Tigers, Detroit’s Single-A affiliate. Residents can watch the Flying Tigers from early April through early September. On the south side is Henley Field, a neighborhood landmark since 1922 that is on the National Register of Historic Places. It was used as the backdrop for the 1987 film “Long Gone,” a character-driven drama about a struggling minor-league baseball team. Today, Henley Field is the home of Florida Southern College’s baseball team. The Mocs play from early February through early May. Adjacent to Henley Field is Bryant Stadium, home of the powerhouse Lakeland High School Dreadnaughts, who have won nine state championships. The neighborhood comes alive with the sights and sounds of prep football when the ‘Naughts play home games on Friday nights. Just outside the neighborhood is Lake Parker Park, where boaters can travel the lake’s 2,000-plus acres and anglers can fish for bass, bluegill, catfish and crappie. The park also includes a variety of amenities for those looking to stay active. Residents have access to walking paths, soccer fields, courts for tennis, pickleball and shuffleboard and a playground. The park also is a popular picnic spot.
Thomas Bryant Stadium hosts the Lakeland High School's football games.
Henley Field was built in 1922 to attempt to entice a pro team to train in Lakeshore.

Medical center campus conveniently located in the neighborhood
The Lakeland Regional Health Medical Center is conveniently located off Lakeland Hills Boulevard, which runs through the neighborhood from north to south. It has offered primary, pediatric and emergency care for over a century. The neighborhood campus features the Carol Jenkins Barnett Pavilion for Women and Children, which opened in 2018. There’s even a Publix pharmacy available for quickly filling prescriptions.
Housing variety adds to the neighborhood's attractiveness
From cozy bungalow-style homes and colorful Victorians built in the early decades of the 20th century to contemporary custom homes in gated communities, the neighborhood’s housing is diverse and often shaded by canopies of trees draped with Spanish Moss. Midcentury ranch-style homes on spacious lots and smaller traditional homes are common. Prices generally range from $200,000 to $500,000, with the most expensive homes offering unobstructed views of Lake Parker. Low-rise lakefront condos in the $150,000 range offer a more affordable alternative. With housing variety added to its outdoor recreational options, accessible services and convenient location, Lakeshore is an attractive neighborhood in one of the nation’s fastest-growing cities that appeals to a range of homeowners. “We have a lot of winter residents, but also a lot of families,” McClintock-Goodson says. “We’re experiencing exponential growth. Lakeland is one of the top five cities people are relocating to.”

Nearby Downtown is the center of city activity
Sweet Cup Café, a casual restaurant popular for its tacos, and Mama’s Soul Food, a regional favorite, are featured neighborhood dining destinations. Nearby, Super Choice Foods is a full-service grocery option, and Lakeland Seafood is a highly rated fish market. An array of contemporary dining options is available in Downtown Lakeland. Foremost among them is Nineteen61, an upscale Latin fusion concept from the mind of head chef Marcos Fernandez, who named the establishment as a “hat tip” to the year his parents were exiled from Cuba. Downtown Lakeland is a dynamic district that offers more than just appealing eateries. “For those of us who live here, it’s the go-to,” McClintock-Goodson says. “They close off the streets for the farmers market, and there’s a lot of outdoor shopping, including mom-and-pop stores that people really like.” For general shopping needs, big-box retailers such as Target, T.J. Maxx and Michaels can be found alongside Sam’s Club and the Lakeland Antique Mall about 3 miles away.
