Imperial Harbours is an active-adult residential condominium community at 333 Lake Howard Drive NW in Winter Haven, on the shore of Lake Howard in the Winter Haven Chain of Lakes, just west of the downtown district (Homes.com building guide, 2026). It was constructed in 1973 and rises three stories with roughly 96 condominium residences across the community, recorded in Polk County records under the Imperial Harbours Phases 01 and 02 subdivision.
Listing and building guides describe two- and three-bedroom floor plans, with sizes cited from roughly 1,030 to about 1,370 square feet, many with enclosed Florida rooms and lake or courtyard views (Homes.com and Stellar MLS listing summaries, 2026). Listings reference more than one building within the community, so confirm the exact building, floor, size, and exposure for any specific unit.
Because this is one condominium community, the money is made or lost on the association and the unit, not on the address. The drivers are the monthly dues, the reserve funding under Florida current condo safety rules, the condo and any flood insurance lines, and the specific unit floor, exposure, and view, all of which have to be read from the current association documents and an insurance quote for the exact unit.
The pitch is an affordable, low-maintenance lakeside lifestyle: a heated pool and cabana, a community boat dock and fishing pier on Lake Howard, a fitness room, shuffleboard, and a billiard and recreation room, with downtown Winter Haven dining and the Chain of Lakes close by. The community is reported as 55+ / age-restricted (HOPA) and no-pets with buyer approval, so confirm those rules; the work is the diligence: read the budget and reserves, quote the insurance, and confirm the rules before you buy the view.
