December’s finalized data reported the typical value of a home in the city to be $279,000—down 9.85% over the previous 12 months. For comparison, county-level data pegged home values at $310,000 in Polk County for the most recent reporting period. That number is expected to float around $307,920 in January.

The number of days that homes have been on the market prior to going under contract rose year-over-year. In December 2025, the median time for a listed property to go pending was 54 days, compared to 49 days in December 2024. In recent months the median number of days from listed to pending appears to be steady. That trend is predicted to have carried through to this January.

Lakeland offers residents a balanced mix of outdoor recreation, vibrant arts and culture, strong schools, convenient shopping and dining, and a welcoming, growing community.
Lakeland sits between Tampa and Orlando, offering an easy commute in either direction while delivering the breathing room and community feel of Polk County. A city of sparkling water and moss-draped oaks, it’s known for more than 30 lakes, walkable historic districts, and a calendar full of festivals and markets. The job base is anchored by logistics, healthcare, higher education, and marquee employers like Publix, while Lakeland Linder International Airport supports growing aerospace and tech activity. Weekends might mean paddleboarding at Lake Hollingsworth, watching the iconic swans on Lake Morton, or exploring downtown before dinner at a local staple.
Outdoor lovers rave about the restored green oases at Bonnet Springs Park. Art fans frequent the Polk Museum of Art, while architecture buffs tour Florida Southern College’s Frank Lloyd Wright–designed campus. Sports are big here too: catch spring training at Publix Field at Joker Marchant Stadium or aviation thrills at the annual Sun ‘n Fun Aerospace Expo. Families value the breadth of Polk County Public Schools, plus nearby options in charter and private education. With established neighborhoods, new-build communities, and an energized downtown dining scene, Lakeland offers space to grow without losing its sense of place.
