Luxury aesthetics make TerraLargo a standout community in north Lakeland

Oak canopies, fountains, and manicured landscaping greet residents entering through the TerraLargo gates. With strict aesthetic guidelines, a palm tree-lined pool and other shared amenities, it's a north Lakeland standout, according to Drew Wilson, broker and owner of Amplify Real Estate Services. "This is one of the premier neighborhoods on the north side," says Wilson, a former TerraLargo resident. "In general, people move here for that upper-tier feeling." It's located across from one of Lakeland's major shopping centers, and close to Interstate 4, with easy access to Tampa and Orlando.

TerraLargo has been rated one of the top locations to live on the north side of Lakeland.

Mediterranean-style villas and executive homes

The neighborhood's Mediterranean-style homes feature terracotta roofs, open floor plans, screened-in patios, updated interiors, paver driveways and two-car garages. They range in size from 1500-square-foot villas to 3,500-square-foot executive homes. Prices range between $350,000 and $700,000. Residents enjoy low-maintenance living. Monthly $300-plus HOA fees go toward lawn maintenance and shared amenities. Mature palm trees, hedges and birds of paradise add privacy and curb appeal. Wilson says the strict guidelines for exterior upkeep, modifications and parking are a plus for some and a negative for others. "It's a double-edged sword — people who move in love how the community looks, and others are not fans of how tight the rules are."

Pickleball, pools and playgrounds in TerraLargo

Outdoor spaces are built into the community. Residents walk and jog on the wide sidewalks throughout the area. The tennis and pickleball courts, pool, playground and clubhouse are clustered near the community entrance. The clubhouse has an indoor fitness center with an attached play area for kids.

"There are a wide variety of people, from retired people soaking up the sun during the day to families in the afternoons and evenings," Wilson says. "It's quite a big pool, so even if there are a lot of people out there, it doesn't feel crowded."

The TerraLargo Community Clubhouse is the epicenter of the community with a state of the art fitness center, luxurious pool, and rec center for the many local events.
