Longwood Trace is a deed-restricted single-residential community in the Medulla area of southwest Lakeland, in Polk County, ZIP 33811 (Stellar MLS subdivision records list it as Longwood Trace Ph 02, 2025). It was platted in phases through the 1990s and into the 2000s, and homes line Longwood Trace Lane North and South on large, oak-shaded lots.
The homes are generally one-story block and stucco residences on roughly half-acre lots, with listings citing lot sizes around half an acre and floor plans in the range of roughly 2,300 to 4,000 square feet (Stellar MLS listings via Zillow, 2025). Many homes feature mature oak trees, side-entry garages, and screened lanais; confirm the exact size, bedroom count, lot, and systems for any specific home.
Because this is a small acreage-lot community, the value is set by the individual lot, the age and condition of the home, and the HOA, not by a regional average. The drivers are the lot and its trees, the roof and HVAC age, the utility setup including septic where present, and the deed restrictions, all of which should be read from the listing and the HOA documents for the exact address.
The pitch is a quieter, large-lot setting with a managed community feel in southwest Lakeland. County Line Road, the Polk Parkway, and the wider Lakeland market are within reach, with the Interstate 4 corridor accessible for commuting toward Tampa or Orlando. The work is the diligence: read the HOA rules, confirm water and sewer, and check the home systems before you buy the canopy.
