Kings Pointe is a private, gated 55+ / age-restricted (HOPA) manufactured home community at 100 Winterdale Drive in Lake Alfred, Polk County, between Tampa and Orlando in Central Florida (Sun Communities community page, 2026). The community describes roughly 229 home sites along palm lined streets, with a recreation complex at its center, managed on site by Sun Communities.
This is a land-lease community, which means buyers generally purchase the manufactured home and lease the home site, paying a monthly lot rent rather than owning the land outright. Third party listing sources have cited a lot rent in the range of roughly 700 to 750 dollars per month, and Sun notes that additional fees may apply, so confirm the current lot rent, what it covers, and any pass through charges in writing for the exact home site before you buy.
Because the home sits on leased land, the money is made or lost on the home and the lease, not just the address. The drivers are the purchase price of the manufactured home, its age and condition, the monthly lot rent and how it escalates, and the community rules including the age restriction and pet policy, all of which should be read from the current lease and community documents.
The pitch is a low maintenance Central Florida lifestyle: a clubhouse with kitchen, a heated swimming pool, a hot tub, a fitness center, a library, and shuffleboard, with Lake Marianna nearby for fishing and sunsets, Winter Haven shopping and Legoland close, and Interstate 4 within about nine miles connecting Tampa, Orlando, and Daytona (Sun Communities community page, 2026). The work is the diligence: read the lease, confirm the lot rent and the age restriction, and check the home age and condition before you buy the amenities.
