Gated Communities ..My TOP 3 for Family Communities in Lakeland
Last week I talked about the pros and cons of gated communities and specifically, if they are really safer than those that do not have any barriers.
After watching, did you decide if a gated community was right for you?
If so, you’ll want to stay with me, because today we’re going to take a look at a few, beautiful AND VERY affordable gated communities in the Greater Lakeland area..
And when I say “ Affordable “ , I mean all the communities you’ll see here today are under $275,000 and LOW Hoa fees! So Let’s Get started…
Hi, I’m Lisa Kelly, Lakeland Homes and Lifestyles with Premier Realty.
I’ve chosen three gated communities to show you today that I think offers the very best ‘bang for your buck’ as far as home price values, monthly HOA fees and amenities.
Coming at # 3
is Terralargo
Terralargo,
located off Sleepy Hill Rd in North Lakeland. Very convenient to I-4 and all of
North Lakelands Best shopping malls.
What makes
this community unique is the Italian inspired architectural styles of homes
throughout the community.
All have the
iconic tile roofs, oversized lots and European flairs. Current Home prices range from $273,000 to the
Mid- $400,000’s.
This ideal
community is family oriented with planned seasonal activities a lovely clubhouse with a gorgeous pool,
fitness center and playground.
The low, $185 monthly HOA fee includes all of this plus
lawn maintenance ; making Terralargo one of the best values in Lakeland.
# 2 Hallam Preserve
Hallam
Preserve made my list because of it’s desirable location off 540a in South
Lakeland plus it’s only one of 3 communities in our area that offer maintenance
free living.:
Meaning all
exterior maintenance, lawn care, pool and all amenities are included in the
$244 monthly HOA fee!
Current home
prices range from $234,900 for a 4 bedroom 2 bath to the mid $600’s.
Coming in at
#1 is Carillon Lakes
You’ve heard
me talk about this community before. In my opinion, this guarded gate community
is still the best value in Lakeland.
The parklike
setting, fishing lakes, expansive clubhouse amenities, lawn care, cable and
24/7 guarded gate are only a few of the perks that are included in the low $209
monthly HOA fee.
Current home
prices range from low $200’s to the low $300’s.
If you’d
