Elbert Park market snapshot (as of June 26, 2026): the median sale price is about $268K ($150 per sq ft), a buyer-leaning market (limited data). Based on 2 recent closings in live Stellar MLS data.
Elbert Park is an established single-family neighborhood in the northeast quadrant of Winter Haven, Polk County, recorded as a Stellar MLS subdivision in Polk County records (Polk County Property Appraiser subdivision records; Stellar MLS subdivision field, 2026). It sits near Lake Elbert, a roughly 169 acre public lake, and Rotary Park, a short drive from downtown Winter Haven.
Listing and parcel records describe most homes as built around 1980, as one story block and slab single-family residences on established lots, with features such as high ceilings, exposed wood beams, and screened patios on individual homes (Stellar MLS listing records via syndicated portals, 2026). Floor plans and condition vary house to house, so confirm the year built, the square footage, the lot, and the systems for any specific home.
Because this is an established neighborhood of individual homes rather than a new master plan, the money is made or lost on the specific house and lot, not on the address. The drivers are the roof age, the HVAC, the plumbing, the kitchen and bath updates done or still needed, and the lot, all of which have to be read from the listing and the parcel record for the exact home.
The pitch is an established Winter Haven address near water and parks: Lake Elbert and Rotary Park are close, downtown Winter Haven and the Chain of Lakes are a short drive, and the city is investing in parks and quality of life as it grows. The work is the diligence: read the year built, the roof and systems, the lot, and any HOA before you buy.
