One Highlands Place is an established single-family-home neighborhood in South Lakeland, Polk County, off Cleveland Heights Boulevard near Eaglebrooke and the broader Lakeland Highlands area (multiple Lakeland real estate neighborhood guides, 2026). It sits in the 33813 ZIP code, a popular South Lakeland address, and is known for larger custom and semi-custom homes rather than a uniform builder product.
Public property records show homes in the neighborhood dating to at least the late 1980s, for example a home on Highlands Place Drive recorded as built in 1987 (Polk County property records via listing portals, 2026). Listing guides describe a range of home sizes, with many homes in the larger end of the South Lakeland market; confirm the exact square footage, bedroom count, and build year for any specific address.
Because this is an established neighborhood rather than a new phase, the money is made or lost on the individual home and lot, not the address alone. The drivers are the build year, the roof and HVAC age, the kitchen and bath updates, the lot size and setting, and the comparable sales nearby, all of which have to be read per address from the listing and an inspection.
The pitch is space and a settled South Lakeland location: proximity to the Lakeland Highlands corridor, Cleveland Heights, shopping and dining along South Florida Avenue, and a manageable drive to the Polk Parkway and on to Tampa or Orlando. The work is the diligence: read the home age, the systems, the updates, and the HOA before you buy the neighborhood name.
