Lakeland vs Plant City - Florida City Comparison
In this video we compare Lakeland's neighbor to the West, Plant City. Known as the winter strawberry capital, Plant City offers a lot of contrast to that of the swan city and may be a good option if you are looking for a home with land or you enjoy more of a small town feel.

Winter haven vs Davenport?
I prefer Hallandale Beach Florida beautiful city good beaches and restaurants and growing businesses and communities and a good nightlife.☀️❤
Yes, right down the street from me! Our kids love it.
Lakeland has Florida Polytechnic University, where my sons attend. I never would have been interested in either city if it wasn't for that. In order to visit them, we need to drive I-75 and I-4.
I live right there near Maine and Combee near the Polk parkway.
It also costs some South Lakeland money to live in South Lakeland. Most of us would love to live behind those gates where houses are huge and the lawns are well kept. We can't afford it. They are probably talking about 540 area, Shepard road and those areas.
Too much bla bla bla...nothing truth
High crime in Plant City
Hi David, I currently live in Lakeland and my wife and I are looking to upgrade to a larger home in the next couple years before kids come along. We like the idea of purchasing some land and building our dream home on it. This is uncharted territory for us and are unsure of the process for selecting/buying land as well as what builders to go with. Is this process something you are able to assist with or are you more on just the building end once land is already purchased?
Hi there! Yes, that is definitely something I could help with. Feel free to give me a call and we can dive deeper into some of your options in Lakeland: 863-272-1977
I prefer Hallandale beach Florida beautiful city good beaches and restaurants and growing businesses and communities, and good nightlife.🇺🇸
Thanks for sharing
I still prefer Hallandale Beach Florida more it’s a beautiful city with a growing communities and businesses and a good nightlife.❤
Thanks for sharing!
S&L and Uncle Nicks may have good reviews bit when i went to both places, they were mediocre, especially Uncle Nicks. S&L was just an average burger, way overrated.
What’s your favorite burger place in Lakeland?
Thank you for sharing this video about my hometown #Team Swan City(863)
Thanks for watching!
@@TheLakelandLife You're welcome
How do I find properties that qualify? Also how can I qualify? Love the video!!
It's really good. But I think it's crazy how a single bowl of their ice cream was $18
Would love to be apart of the team
Can you do an updated video on 2023/2024 things coming to Lakeland/Polk County?
Yes! After a bit of a break, I have a bunch of videos planned for shooting this month and two of them are on upcoming projects in Lakeland-one for food and the other for developments.
Beautiful home. The outside is an oasis.
Agreed!
Site doesn’t exist
Next time let me help you with the video as well
Builders Name? TY
I got a $180.00 speeding fine on south Florida near Reececliff's!
ouch
Thank you but what are the prices ?
With the size of the communities, prices can vary widely depending on square footage and amenities. As a starting point Lakeland as a whole has a median sales price of $320,000 and all three of these communities would have homes starting just above that. Give me a call and we can dive deeper into price points based on your needs; 863-272-1977 < David
Do you build in Ocala?
I am not sure Shawn would build that far North but it is definitely worth discussing. Shoot me a call when you have a chance (863) 272-1977 < David
Finding demand for living downtown lakeland is an issue. Always has been. people move to lakeland to enjoy suburban sprawl with backyards and swimming pool. Now We have more apartment options then ever and maybe we will see more. Would like to see you do a segment on the Dixieland redevelopment as that just may be the place to go - would love for you to see what your viewers think of the Dixieland commercial district how the new road diet will enhance the area and will we see a housing boom there similar to what has occurred in Lake Morton area over the last 30 years. Downtown lakeland is great however; for now at least it is a central business district. Enjoyed watching you do a great job.
Thank you for watching and for the very thoughtful feedback. I too am excited for the Dixieland development as well as the downtown west push the city has in store. Definitely some future videos in store
Full disclosure: I work for Southern Homes and these opinions are solely my own. While I understand your frustration as a buyer at the peak of the market, I don’t think it’s fair to disparage a builder for lowering prices. Pricing was already high, and with the interest rates more than doubling, home buying became next to impossible for so many people. Southern not only lowered prices like you mentioned, they also increased buyer incentives. Seller concessions have been maxed out for months by Southern Homes. Unfortunately, more incentives still wasn’t enough to make homes accessible for most people. Lowering prices was a good move. This allowed people to purchase homes. As a fellow real estate professional, I’m sure you can see this side of the coin. I really appreciate all the kind words you said about Southern Homes, too! They’re a great builder and I live in a Southern Home myself that I’m thrilled with. I’m glad you’re a part of the Southern Homes family and hope you love your home for a long time. Keep up the good work 👍🏻
Hi Josh, thank you for the thoughtful consideration and opinion. I do agree Southern Homes was in a tough spot and I am not discrediting them for taking a pro-active stance to get ahead of a slowing market-as a company it did make a lot of sense. I am just basing this on the experience of current Southern Homes buyers who went under contract just before the price decreases-myself included. That was the only knock against them for 2022 and in my book Southern Homes is still and always will be one of Lakeland's best builders. Thanks again for your feedback and for watching!
Perhaps.
Must be amazing to live thinking Downtown is the only part of Lakeland.
Hi David, which places in Lakeland are the best to buy investment properties, duplex or triplex and how much they pay for a 2 bedroom unit ? Great video.
Hi Hugo, small multi family will pop up all over Lakeland but the ones in South Lakeland (33811) and North Lakeland (33810) go fast and will have the highest rents.
Aren’t these two cities only 30 minutes apart? Biggest difference seems to be the population. Good video presented well.
Hi Dennis, thanks for watching! Yes Winter Haven is right next to Lakeland (to it’s East). Population is a significant difference but the two cities have quite different personalities when it comes to amenities. Both are great cities but ultimately come down to your priorities
Did you watch the video? Lol
If I moved back to Lakeland,I would move back to Twin Lakes Circle
Fire ants are the worst part of Lakeland Florida and when I get the chance, I'll move back there
Yikes, David. We loved your service, helping us buy our home, and making it seamless for both my husband and I, but also our Daughter and her Fiancé! Moving from Washington state was scary and risky. Your awesome! But I gotta chime in here… as a former new home interior designer and coordinator of new home interiors, I gotta say ouch. What was that guy thinking. I understand due diligence and approval, but to yank and pass upon arrival is a fatal flaw. Hey, thanks again!
Thanks for watching. He must have been having a bad day is all I can think ha. Hope you and the family are doing great!
No closed caption
are you looking to lease or just sell ??
Awesome
I'm looking for a new construction home 3/ 2 can I contact you?
Absolutely. Here is my cell (863) 272-1977
How much?
The Waylyn is now starting at $455,900
Thanks I'll be in contact
Reach out anytime 👍
Thank you! I'm moving to Winter Haven in April and this was very informative 👌
I am really glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching!
This is really helpful. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and ideas about PMI so that many people can understand more about it. Really appreciate it, so keep it up!!
Glad it was helpful!
Do any of these builders work with clients who want to build on a lot they already own?
Great question. McDonough Construction only builds on personal lots and Southern Homes will build any of their models on your own lot as long as it is within 10 miles of one of their existing communities. Hope that helps!
@@TheLakelandLife thank you so much for responding. Just one thing, when you say they only build on personal lots, do you mean their own lots or customer’s personal lots? Thanks again 👍
I meant they do not build in communities like the other builders; they only build on customer lots. They are truly a custom builder giving you control over the entire build process but you have to have the land prior.
Highland homes for me!
one of the best!
Casa Fresca all the way!!!! 🏡🏝
I know you're loving yours! Thanks for watching the video
Been there it’s nothing really there , Hallandale beach Florida is way better beautiful beaches and restaurants and businesses
Never been to Hallandale myself but will have to check it out
Wow!! 😊
Dude most of these people exposing lakeland on RUclips is not even born and raised from lakeland. We don’t want lakeland just to be another big overrated city. That’s what make it lakeland. Most of these people making comments are not even Floridians. Please leave lakeland alone the trend need to stop 🛑. Keep lakeland lakeland.
Born and raised dude. I’m so Floridian I’ve never even seen snow 😂
Ok you not from Lakeland I get what you saying though. As a kid growing up in lakeland I always wanted it to be like Tampa and Orlando, but now that I am older living in Baltimore Dc area. I don’t want my town to out grow itself that all.
@@williammckinney567 I hear you. I definitely don't want Lakeland to be Tampa or Orlando but there are are some areas I think the swan city can enhance without losing its character. Improving more so than changing in my opinion. Thanks for watching and giving your feedback-I really appreciate it!
My husband and I dove up to Lakeland yesterday to try this exciting concept of delicious ice cream. We tried the coffee-absolutely wonderful; and then we had a cup of what is a velvety piece of heaven. If you are anywhere near this wonderful ice cream experience, I urge you to go try some. You won’t be disappointed!!
Thanks for sharing. Can't agree more 👍
I can’t wait to try this
Oh yeah, you are going to love it. It was a lot to take in with how many options you get to choose from but once you do make your selections, the taste is like nothing else you've tried. My whole family loved the experience.
I know the owners!
Nancy and Joel seemed like fantastic people!
