Lake and Hills Country Estates is a single-family residential community in Lake Wales, Polk County, in the 33898 ZIP on the Lake Wales Ridge in central Florida (public HOA and real estate community listings, 2026). It carries a homeowners association, and the read here is the HOA and the home rather than a citywide average.
Public HOA listings describe community amenities including a clubhouse, a pool, an exercise room, and a sauna, with the HOA fee noted as covering trash removal and water or sewer (HOA resource listing, 2026). Those listings note that HOA policies can change, so confirm the current dues, what they include, and the rules from the latest association documents for the exact home.
Because this is a single-residential neighborhood with an association, the money is made or lost on the HOA, the amenities, the lot, and the home, not on the address alone. The drivers are the monthly or periodic dues, the reserve and budget health, what the fee covers, and the specific lot and home condition, all of which have to be read from the current association documents.
The pitch is a quiet ridge setting in Lake Wales, an inland Polk County city known for the Lake Wales Ridge, its lakes, and attractions such as Bok Tower Gardens, with U.S. Route 27 and State Road 60 connecting the area to the rest of central Florida (Lake Wales city and travel references, 2026). The work is the diligence: read the HOA budget and rules, confirm the fee inclusions, and verify the boundary and amenities by address before you buy.
