Lakefront living with additional Florida perks
Lake Fox, a cozy waterfront community in Polk County, offers all the perks of Florida living at an affordable price. With easy access to a pair of neighborhood lakes, residents are conveniently positioned to enjoy the Winter Haven lifestyle. Relaxing on pontoon boats with friends and family, angling for that next big catch in fish-heavy waters and skiing are daily parts of life. Residents have the luxury of living in a wholly residential community, yet they also enjoy proximity to golf, theme parks and Old Florida dining.

Enjoy lakes, golf and natural habitats
Winter Haven is famous for its lakes. Almost two dozen comprise the city’s chain of lakes, a network of waterways that is connected by canals, but more than 50 dot the landscape. “The lakes are the reason anyone comes to Winter Haven,” says Emily Ward, a Realtor with EXP Realty who lives in nearby Cypress gardens. Residents can access any of the lakes with minimal effort, but there are plenty of opportunities to enjoy lakefront living without leaving the neighborhood. Lake Fox is a 56-acre private lake, and Lake Daisy is a 135-acre public lake. Both are large enough to accommodate boats and related activities, but small enough that canoes and kayaks are an option. Central Florida is a hot spot for fishing, and the lakes are stocked with sportfish such as bass, crappie and bluegill. The private docks that ring both lakes can be used for bankside fishing, and they also provide the perfect location to sit, drink in hand, and watch the sun set over the water. Florida’s most popular recreational land activity also is easily accessible to residents, as Cypresswood Golf & Country Club is just north of the neighborhood. The semi-private club features a par-72, 18-hole course that stretches for more than 6,800 yards. Other amenities include a driving range and a bar and grill with patio seating. Golfers also can receive individualized lessons and participate in multi-person clinics. Just west of the neighborhood is the Lake Region Audubon Nature Preserve, where visitors can traverse scenic wooded trails with interpretive signage that lead to Lake Ned. Eagles and alligators highlight the array of native flora and fauna to be found in their natural habitats. The preserve also includes the Street Nature Center, which offers educational programs for children.

Winter Haven offers affordability and a "smaller state of mind"
Polk County is the fastest-growing county in the nation. Much of that has to do with available land, but another key factor is cost. That makes neighborhoods such as Lake Fox additionally appealing. “A lot of people are looking to purchase a Florida home, and the Orlando/Kissimmee area is pretty tapped out. So if someone is looking to invest, Winter Haven is a great place,” Ward says. “We’re near Orlando and near Tampa, but we have a smaller state of mind. With lower prices, it’s a great place for people looking for longer-term investments.” Polk County also has fewer restrictions on buying homes as rental properties, an important factor for those seeking a seasonal retreat. Neighborhood housing is highlighted by ranch-style and contemporary custom homes featuring private driveways, attached garages and ample yard space in quiet subdivision settings. “The average home in Winter Haven is about $350,000,” Ward says. “You can get a lot of house here for that money, usually about 2,000 to 2,500 square feet.” Manufactured homes in the 55-plus communities of Lake Fox Village and Garden Grove Oaks offer a more affordable alternative with the added bonus of amenities that include swimming pools, shuffleboard courts, lake access and clubhouses that host community dinners, holiday celebrations, card games and more. Single-family homes along the lakefronts are the neighborhood’s most expensive properties. Overall, prices range from $50,000 to the mid-$500,000s.

Legoland offers much more than just children's entertainment
Families have plenty of entertainment to choose from, with Legoland Florida nearby. In addition to theme park rides, the water park is a popular attraction, and visitors can catch water ski shows featuring Lego characters. Peppa Pig Theme Park, the latest addition to Legoland’s sprawling complex, offers an array of colorful rides and activities dedicated to the cheeky British porcine character and her family. As Legoland expanded, it took over Cypress Gardens, Florida’s oldest theme park. The meticulously landscaped grounds on the shores of Lake Eloise are home to nearly 8,000 flower varieties from 90 countries. Offering discounted rates to locals, the park isn’t simply a tourist attraction. “The neighborhood is near Legoland, so that can be a draw,” Ward says. “Legoland treats its Florida residents pretty well.”

Ovation Bistro, Harry's Old Place among popular eateries
Featured dining destinations include Ovation Bistro & Bar, which serves up comfort food classics along a stretch of Cypress Gardens Boulevard corridor that forms the neighborhood’s southern edge. Harry's Old Place, an Old Florida eatery on nearby Ned Lake that specializes in seafood, is another popular stop. “Harry’s has been around for quite a while,” Ward says. “It’s one of the old family-run businesses in this area.” A Walmart Supercenter is conveniently located near Ovation Bistro, and Cypress Gardens Boulevard leads directly to the Publix-anchored Winter Haven Square about 2 miles away, across the street from Legoland in the heart of Winter Haven. “Lake Fox isn’t commercialized, and you’re technically out of the city limits,” Ward says. “But you’re still just minutes away from the main drag.”

Easy access to local, regional points of interest
Residents can take Cypress Gardens Boulevard via car or bus to Downtown Winter Haven, whose cultural attractions include the Historic Ritz Theatre and Gram Parsons Derry Down, a contemporary concert venue. The downtown area also hosts citywide events, including the annual Taste of Winter Haven and CommunityFest. U.S. Highway 27, which forms the neighborhood’s eastern border, provides easy access north to Haines City and south to Lake Wales. Lakeland is less than 15 miles directly west. Winter Haven also is conveniently located between Tampa and Orlando and their international airports. Both cities are about 50 miles away via Interstate 4.
