The Village at Scott Lake, also recorded as Scott Lake Village, is a small single-residential neighborhood off Scott Lake Road in the Lakeland Highlands area of South Lakeland, Polk County (Polk County and Lakeland real estate records, 2026). Public address data describes a compact community of roughly three dozen homes addressed as Scott Lake Village North and South, ZIP 33813.
Most homes here were built in the late 1980s and early 1990s, and the homeowners association is listed as established in 1990 (Florida HOA directories and Polk County records, 2026). Listings describe detached single-family homes, commonly three bedroom and two bath floor plans on sizable lots, rather than attached townhomes or condominiums; confirm the exact year built, square footage, and lot for any specific home.
Because this is a small established neighborhood with a relatively light association, the money is made or lost on the individual home, not the address. The drivers are the roof, HVAC, and water heater age, the condition and updates of the specific house, the lot, and what the HOA dues actually cover, all of which should be read from the listing and the current HOA documents.
The pitch is a quiet South Lakeland pocket near the private Scott Lake and Scott Lake Elementary, with quick access to the Lakeland Highlands corridor, Florida Highway 540A, and the Polk Parkway toward Tampa and Orlando. The work is the diligence: read the home, price the systems, and confirm the HOA dues and any reserves before you buy.
