Carlton Palmore Elementary School

It's a solid choice for buyers who want established Lakeland neighborhoods with mature streets and a central location. The area also feeds into a broader set of schools including Sleepy Hill Middle School, which matters for families planning ahead. With 87 homes sold in the past year, it's an active, lived-in community rather than a quiet pocket.

It sits in a middle range for Lakeland, with a median list price of $392,495 and an average of $201 per square foot. The active listings run from $279,900 up to $649,999, so there's real room whether you're a first-time buyer or moving up. There are currently no $1M+ or new-construction listings, which keeps the range grounded.

Over the last 12 months the median sold price was $365,000, a bit under the current median list of $392,495. Sellers took home about 97% of their asking price on average, so expect to negotiate within a fairly tight band. For a live look at what's available, check the live map.

It's steady and balanced — homes are taking a median 37 days to sell, giving buyers time to weigh their options. With 20 active listings and 87 sales over the past year, there's consistent turnover without a frenzy. That pace favors prepared buyers who can move when the right home lists.

The median HOA here is a modest $146 per month, and many established streets carry no HOA at all. Median property taxes run about $3,888 per year. For renters comparing the math, the median rent in the area is around $1,060 per month.
