Central Lakeland living
In central Lakeland, Webster Park offers a warm community, great schools and easy connections to Interstate 4 and other major thoroughfares. Though predominantly residential, a handful of local markets, eateries and places of worship pepper its gridded streetscape. “For 20 years, I worked right by Webster Park at Lakeland Regional Medical Center,” says local Realtor Cyleste Goodson with Regal Real Estate. “I used to go see patients who lived there all the time, and their neighbors took the time to learn my name. Soon enough, I’d hear ‘Hey, Miss Cyleste!’ whenever I got out of my car, and people would go to get the front door for me.” Close to medical facilities, parks, schools and downtown, Webster Park is a community that has plenty going on around it, and only more is to come as the area continues to revitalize with the help of its residents and city initiatives like the Lakeland Community Redevelopment Agency.
