Village at Lake Highland is a gated attached-home community off Lake Highland Boulevard near Lakeland Highlands Road in south Lakeland, in Polk County, ZIP 33813 (multiple Lakeland real estate listing guides, 2026). It was built roughly 2003 to 2004 and is organized around a central lake with a fountain, with a community pool and gated entrances.
Listing guides describe the homes as midsize attached residences, with floor plans cited in a range of roughly 1,100 to about 2,000 square feet, and references to both townhome and condominium ownership depending on the building (Lakeland listing portals and subdivision guides, 2026). Confirm the exact recorded property type, square footage, and bedroom count for any specific unit, because the same community name covers more than one ownership form.
Because this is an association-governed community, the money is made or lost on the HOA and the unit, not on the address alone. The drivers are the monthly dues, what the dues cover, the reserve funding, any special assessments, and the specific unit condition and position, all of which have to be read from the current association documents for the exact unit.
The pitch is a low-maintenance gated home in an established south Lakeland location: the Lakeland Highlands corridor, shopping along South Florida Avenue, and access toward downtown Lakeland and the Polk Parkway are all reasonable drives. The work is the diligence: read the budget and reserves, confirm the recorded property type, and quote insurance before you buy the lifestyle.
