Godfrey Manor is an established single-family subdivision in Auburndale, in Polk County, set along West Pilaklakaha Avenue on the west side of town (Stellar MLS subdivision records and Auburndale real estate listings, 2026). It sits in the Lakeland to Winter Haven corridor of central Polk County, an area recognized as part of the Lakeland to Winter Haven metropolitan area (Auburndale and Polk County references, 2026).
The neighborhood reads as a mid-century subdivision rather than a new build. A Stellar MLS listing at 2213 West Pilaklakaha Avenue records the home as built in 1967, a four bedroom, three bath house of about 2,205 square feet on a lot of roughly 0.22 acre with a screened pool (Stellar MLS P4934968 listing record, 2026). Confirm the exact year built, square footage, bed and bath count, and lot size per parcel, since an established subdivision carries a range of eras and floor plans.
Because this is a neighborhood of individual homes, the money is made or lost on the specific house, not the address. The drivers are the era and structure, the lot, the condition, the roof and systems, and the quality of any renovation, all of which have to be read from the listing and county records for the exact parcel. Recorded Auburndale sales nearby span from entry resales to updated homes, so condition does much of the pricing.
The pitch is a central Polk County address with room: West Pilaklakaha Avenue feeds toward US 92 and the heart of Auburndale, with the Polk Parkway and Interstate 4 giving reach toward Lakeland, Tampa, and Orlando. The work is the diligence: read the year built, the lot, the roof and systems, and any deed restriction, and price the renovation honestly before you buy.
