Lakeside life in Winter Haven

Surrounded by lakes, Poinsettia Park in Winter Haven, Florida is a sunny slice of suburbia where residents enjoy their leisure time boating, fishing and golfing. “Shopping and dining are about 4 miles away on Winter Haven’s Main Street, and with nearby access to Highway 17, folks stay connected to neighboring cities like Orlando and Tampa,” says Laurie Krall, a Realtor with La Rosa Realty who has worked in real estate for over 5 years. “There’s lots to do in the area, from the Chain of Lakes to Lego Land.” Poinsettia Park is ideal for those looking for a quiet suburb not far from city amenities.

Modern traditional and ranch-style homes in Poinsettia Park

Most homes in Poinsettia Park were built in the last 20 years and are typically variations on the four-square model with Craftsman-style or Colonial Revival designs; older ranch-style homes from the midcentury can also be found. Common features include short driveways with garages, green, grassy lawns and sidewalks lining the streets; some houses may also feature oak or palm trees in the front lawns. Homes start around $200,000 for midcentury ranch-style homes and go up to $500,000 for modern construction in gated communities like Hampton Cove. Poinsettia Park Homeowners Association has authority over subsections within the community and maintains guidelines for residences.

Developing skills and interests in Polk County public schools

Local kids can attend schools in Polk County, like Elbert Elementary, rated C by Niche, where students can join music extracurriculars like chorus, handbells and strings. Denison Middle receives a C and offers three academies for students to develop their skills and interests in: Academy of Business Computing, Academy of Fine Arts and Techno Robotics/STEAM pre-academy. Winter Haven Senior High receives a B-minus; students enrolled here can take Dual Enrollment classes to earn college credit at Polk State College.

Golfing and fishing in Winter Haven

Poinsettia’s Park subtropical climate makes for ideal temperatures to enjoy outdoor recreation. At The Golf Range on Dundee Road, 4 miles away, residents can perfect their swing with lessons and open tee times. Willowbrook Golf Course is about 5 miles away; a 9-hole course where golfers can hit the links and opt into their membership program for discounts. Poinsettia Park’s most notable feature is its many lakes, some of which offer premier fishing. Lake Hamilton is one of the area’s largest lakes and fishing enthusiasts can cast their lines here for largemouth bass, crappie and channel catfish; visitors can also enjoy the lake’s picnic area and public boat ramp.

Local business and fresh groceries

Residents can head 3 miles into town to grab grocery essentials at Farm Fresh Market or pop into the local Publix. Around Lake Silver, stop into The Donut Man for breakfast grub, coffee and pastries, or enjoy some lunch at Big Daddy’s Barbeque for pulled pork and grilled bologna sandwiches. Nearby in Downtown Winter Haven, find specialty shops like Four Purls Yarn Shop, Carlton Music Center and Angelic Flowers. “People are really involved in keeping local businesses running,” says Krall. “Downtown Winter Haven has that small city feeling.”

Downtown Winter Haven

Winter Haven’s downtown area is full of exciting events throughout the year. The historic Ritz Theatre was constructed in 1925 and operates today as movie theater, music venue and stage for theatrical productions. At the Winter Haven Theatre, patrons can enjoy community theater performances of their favorite plays and musicals. Krall recommends Bok Tower Gardens, 17 miles away, to enjoy tours and jazz music. Residents can also enjoy NCAA sports on Polk State College’s campus.

Getting around Winter Haven

Residents in Poinsettia Park typically drive, and the nearby Highway 17 helps connect drivers throughout Winter Haven and to neighboring cities like Tampa and Orlando. “We’re not as congested as other areas of Florida,” says Krall. In Downtown Winter Haven, locals can also use Citrus Connection buses to get around. Winter Haven Regional Airport is about 7 miles away; Orlando International Airport is 45 miles away. Winter Haven Hospital is 4 miles from the neighborhood for medical needs.
