Juliana Village is a gated single-residential neighborhood off State Road 559 between Lake Juliana and Lake Mattie in northern Auburndale, Polk County (Highland Homes community pages, 2026; multiple Auburndale real estate listing guides, 2026). It was built by Highland Homes, which reports the community as sold out, so the active market here is resale rather than new construction; confirm the current status and build year for any specific home.
The homes are single-family with reported living areas spanning roughly the high 1,800s to low 3,000s of square feet across several floor plans, and the builder describes home sites that average close to a quarter acre and about 80 feet wide (Highland Homes community pages, 2026). The site work for the project was handled with a development partner that cites residential lots and offsite road improvements (Kearney Companies project page, 2026). Confirm the exact square footage, bedroom count, garage, and lot for any address.
Because this is a finished community, the money is made or lost on the home and the HOA, not the marketing. The drivers are the annual or monthly HOA dues and what they cover, the architectural review rules, the specific lot and exposure, and the condition and updates of the home, all of which should be read from the current HOA documents and a real insurance quote for the exact address.
The pitch is a gated lake-area address with quick access to I-4, which puts Lakeland, the wider Polk County job base, and the Orlando and Tampa corridors within a manageable drive (listing guides, 2026). The work is the diligence: read the HOA budget and rules, quote the insurance, and check what new construction is rising nearby in northern Auburndale before you buy.
