Nalcrest is a lakeside community built with purpose and personality, founded by letter carriers and still managed through the NALC’s Nalcrest community. Designed for easy living, it offers single-story apartments, a clubhouse, pool, shuffleboard courts, and tranquil walking paths along Lake Weohyakapka. Its famously pet-selective policy (cats welcome, no dogs) underscores a playful nod to its postal roots while preserving a quiet, walkable setting.
Everyday needs are close at hand in Lake Wales, with broader shopping, dining, and entertainment in Winter Haven and Lakeland. Outdoor enthusiasts appreciate quick escapes to Lake Kissimmee State Park for boating, birding, and wide-open prairie views, or serene afternoons at Bok Tower Gardens. Grandkid visits are easy to elevate with a day at LEGOLAND Florida Resort. Healthcare needs are supported nearby at AdventHealth Lake Wales, and countywide transit through Citrus Connection offers practical links beyond the neighborhood. Families in surrounding areas are served by Polk County schools, with options through Polk County Public Schools and the locally run Lake Wales Charter Schools.
Whether you’re moving to enjoy the low-key lakeside lifestyle or preparing to list a home nearby, Agent Pronto can connect you with a proven local real estate professional to make your next step smooth and successful.
