Learn more about renting in Lakeland, FL

Lakeland, Florida, is filled with relics of a simpler time. From antique shops and 19th century architecture to retro movies, this city will allow you to experience the past at your leisure. At the center of the city is Munn Park Historic District, a nationally-designated landmark area with a green space and shops that celebrate the development of the city from 1884 to the present day. You can also party like it's 1955 at the Silver Moon Drive-In Theatre, a nostalgic local gem playing contemporary movies with a retro twist. All you need to enjoy the show is a ticket and an FM radio.

If the name didn't give it away, the city's home to 38 lakes, including Lake Parker, a 2,272-acre beauty. The lakes aren't the only place to enjoy the outdoors, either. Locals love to fish, hike, kayak, or bird-watch at Colt Creek State Park. It's also a college town, but you might not even notice. Quiet and private Florida Southern College doesn't attract much nightlife. In fact, Lakeland is pretty family-friendly, retaining its small-town charm even as its population grows. Florida Southern College does, however, contribute to the area's rich cultural history, hosting one of the largest collections of Frank Lloyd Wright architecture in the country. Whether you're looking for old-world touches, a peaceful community made of students, families, and retirees, or your own little corner of the great outdoors, you'll find it in dynamic Lakeland, Florida.

Local insights: What it's like to live in Lakeland, FL

Lakeland residents enjoy the blend of urban and suburban life, often highlighting the city's parks and recreational areas. Many appreciate the abundance of outdoor activities and the picturesque lakes that offer scenic views and walking trails. The community hosts various events throughout the year, fostering a lively atmosphere. However, some complaints center around the traffic congestion, especially during peak hours, which can be a drawback for those commuting to nearby cities. Renters also mention the need for more diverse dining options and nightlight activities in the area.
