The beautiful State of Florida is known for it's great retiree population and according to The Ledger article today "Lakeland's Location Brings Honors As a Good Place for Retirees" is proof in the pudding that Lakeland is a great place to live for our senior citizens.
I always say that Lakeland is a great place to live and a lot of my clients say the same thing. While Lakeland's population reached over 93,000 recently, the majority of the population is over 55 years of age, making it a great place to live for Lakeland retirees according to the Lakeland Economical Council's web site.
What brings retirees to Lakeland?
Location, location, location.... centrally and conveniently located between Orlando and Tampa - white sandy beaches all within an hour drive, affordablility in housing with Lakeland's median home prices of $125,000. Medical facilities within reach, outreach programs for elderly, such as Viste, art venues, such as the Imperial Symphony Orchestra, Harrison School for the Arts, Polk Museum of Art, and the Community Theater formerly known as the Pied Piper Players, libraries, beautiful lakes, botanical garden and gorgeous parks.
Golf courses private, semi-private and public and just the small town atmosphere that Lakeland has to offer when walking around downtown. There is always something to do, with volunteer opportunities within our local communities with never a dull moment for our Lakeland retirees. Our weather seems also a big hit with retirees longing for a much warmer climate, especially during the winter months having not to deal with snow and ice on the roads.
I could go on and on - why don't you check out some of the articles I wrote about Lakeland below:
