Honey Tree is a compact residential pocket of Lakeland in Polk County, the kind of established neighborhood where you settle in rather than pass through. It sits near other well-known Lakeland communities like Sandpiper and Winston, with easy reach to lake-lined stretches such as Lake Hollingsworth. Families here are zoned to Lakeland Senior High, Crystal Lake Middle, and Crystal Lake Elementary, and the Central Florida location puts you between two metros.
For a buyer today, the appeal is price. There are 8 active listings with a median list price of $190,000 — well below what comparable proximity to both Tampa and Orlando usually costs. It's a small market, so inventory moves and options are limited, but the entry point makes it worth watching closely, especially versus pricier waterfront pockets like Lake Bentley.
Honey Tree is a community in Lakeland, Florida.

Honey Tree FAQs
Is Honey Tree a good place to live?+
It's an established Lakeland neighborhood with a practical Central Florida location — about 48 minutes to downtown Tampa and 55 to Walt Disney World. Families are zoned to Crystal Lake Elementary, Crystal Lake Middle, and Lakeland Senior High School, and you're near other well-known communities like Sandpiper. If you want an affordable base between the Tampa and Orlando metros, it's worth a look.
Is Honey Tree expensive?+
No — it's one of the more affordable corners of Lakeland, with a median list price of $190,000. That's a lower entry point than many neighborhoods with similar access to both Tampa and Orlando. For value-focused buyers, that price is the main draw.
What do homes cost in Honey Tree?+
There are currently 8 active listings with a median list price of $190,000. Because it's a small neighborhood, the number of choices is limited, so it helps to move quickly when something fits. Compared with pricier lakefront areas like Lake Hollingsworth, the value here is clear.
How is the market in Honey Tree right now?+
It's a low-inventory market — 8 homes are active and no sales have closed in the neighborhood over the past 12 months, so there isn't a recent sold benchmark to lean on. That makes local pricing guidance especially important. Watching new listings closely is the best strategy in a market this compact.
What about HOA fees and property taxes in Honey Tree?+
We don't have confirmed HOA or property-tax figures for Honey Tree in the current data, so those costs are best verified listing by listing. As a Polk County neighborhood, taxes follow county and Lakeland millage rates. Ask your agent to pull the exact HOA and tax numbers on any home before you make an offer.
