Aniston is a single-family home community off Polly Lane in South Lakeland, in Polk County, Florida, marketed by builder Highland Homes as a neighborhood in the South Lakeland Highlands area about 0.8 miles from US 98 South, also known as Bartow Road (Highland Homes community page, 2026). Third-party real estate sites describe it as built generally in the early 2020s, with the builder now reporting the community as sold out (Highland Homes, 2026; third-party listing guides, 2026).
The homes are single-family by Highland Homes, with listing guides citing floor plans ranging roughly from the 1,300 square foot range up to about 3,100 square feet and up to six bedrooms, including open kitchen and living layouts, an owner's suite, and flexible-use rooms (Highland Homes plan pages and third-party listing guides, 2026). Confirm the exact plan, square footage, bedroom count, and year built for any specific home.
Because this is a small, recently built community rather than a large master plan, the money is made or lost on the individual home and lot, not on the address. The drivers are the floor plan and condition, the lot, the HOA dues and rules, and the South Lakeland location, all of which should be read from the listing and the recorded HOA documents for the exact home.
The pitch is newer construction in an established part of South Lakeland: the builder reports the community is not in a Community Development District, lists a modest HOA, and cites quick access to US 98, State Road 60, and the Polk Parkway, with Lakeland and Bartow services nearby (Highland Homes community page, 2026). The work is the diligence: confirm the HOA dues and any deed restrictions, verify the school assignment by address, and price the specific plan and lot against the newer inventory still selling in the corridor.
