Kellsmont is an established single-family subdivision in south Lakeland, Polk County, in ZIP 33813, recorded in county plat records as Kellsmont Sub at Plat Book 75, Page 24 (Polk County property records, 2026). It sits off the Cleveland Heights Boulevard corridor, with access via Rolling Woods Lane to Cheverly Drive East, in the established south Lakeland and Lakeland Highlands area.
The housing stock leans toward larger custom and contemporary homes built largely from the 1980s onward, with listing and record references citing homes from the mid 1980s into the 1990s and beyond on roughly half-acre and larger lots, some with mature landscaping and a few near water (multiple Lakeland real estate listings, 2026). Confirm the exact year built, the architectural style, and the lot size for any specific address.
Because this is a small, established subdivision rather than a single-builder master plan, value is set home by home. The drivers are the individual lot, the floor plan and square footage, the era of construction, and how recently the home was renovated, along with the HOA dues and rules, all of which have to be read per address rather than from a community average.
The pitch is space and an established south Lakeland location: larger lots and custom homes near the Cleveland Heights and Lakeland Highlands corridors, with shopping, the Polk Parkway, and major medical close by. The work is the diligence: read the year built, the roof and systems age, the lot, and the HOA terms before you anchor on a number.
