Hunters Crossing is a gated single-residential community in North Lakeland, Polk County, off North Socrum Loop Road near Grady Mock Road (local Lakeland real estate guides and Highland Homes community pages, 2026). Listing guides describe it as a gated neighborhood of roughly 200-plus traditional detached homes, a mid-size community rather than a sprawling master plan.
Local guides describe the bulk of the homes as built from the mid 2000s onward, with builder Highland Homes adding later phases in the community, so the housing stock skews relatively young for the area (Highland Homes community pages, 2026). Homes are generally three and four bedroom single-family plans, and some sit on water-view or pond lots; confirm the exact year built, square footage, bedroom count, and lot type for any specific home.
Because the amenity package is light, the HOA dues here are modest, so the money is made or lost on the lot and the home rather than on a heavy association budget. Confirm the current HOA dues, what they cover, the gate and any rules, and whether a Community Development District (CDD) applies to the parcel from the latest association and county records.
The pitch is a practical North Lakeland address: US 98 North, Highway 33, and Interstate 4 are all close, putting both the Tampa and Orlando markets within commuting reach, while everyday shopping near the entrance, Lakeland Square Mall, and Lakeland Regional Health sit a short drive away. The work is the diligence: read the HOA documents, confirm any CDD, verify the school zoning, and price the lot and home before you buy the gate.
