Affordable lakeside real estate in Eagle Lake

Eagle Lake residents live on the water, two lakes bordering the neighborhood — Lake McLeod and Eagle Lake, the community’s namesake. While some homes are on the water, the lakes also have boat launches, so people can live closer to the town center, where there are local restaurants where people can dine out. The cost of living in Eagle Lake is lower than the surrounding areas, but with the same attractions that pull people to Lakeland and Winter Haven — Florida’s Chain of Lakes.

Boat or play ball in Eagle Lake

Residents in Eagle Lake live between Eagle Lake and Lake McLeod, where residents can boat on the waters for a relaxing day under the sun. Lake McLeod has a boat ramp off Eagle Avenue. On land, Lake Eagle Ball Park has baseball fields where local leagues play. In Wahneta, Lake Gwyn Park offers walking trails and an observation pier that extends over the wetlands.

Homes with private docks on Eagle Lake

Houses in Eagle Lake will vary depending on the location. Homes close to Eagle Lake’s town center are often bungalows, while houses closer to Lake McLeod are more recent developments featuring New Traditional homes. Streets in Eagle Lake are narrow, so people will park in driveways or on the lawn to avoid blocking neighborhood traffic. In Eagle Terrace subdivision, homes border Eagle Lake’s shoreline, offering private docks. Homes off the shore sit on a hill for better views of the water. Homes in Eagle Lake typically list between $150,000 and $350,000, with newer homes and houses on the water listing higher and smaller homes in Wahneta representing the lower range.

Winter Haven farmers markets and festivals

Eagle Lake is only 4.5 miles from Winter Haven, which offers many local events residents can attend. On Saturdays, Winer Haven Farmers Market offers a unique lineup of local vendors, which the organization announces on Thursdays on their social media, so people can plan ahead. For ten years, CommunityFest Winter Haven offers entertainment, games, activities and visits from favorite movie characters.

Eagle Lake's local diners and seafood markets

Fifth Eloise Street is lined with restaurants, like Eagle Lake Family Diner, which has everything from eggs at breakfast to sandwiches and chicken platters at dinner. For classic barbeque, head over to Blackburn’s BBQ. Love Pho and Boba has multiple types of the Vietnamese soup, from mild to spicy. Eagle Lake also sports two local seafood markets — Thomas Fish Company and Get Seafood Inc. — where residents can get their fish products fresh and frozen. The closest Publix is 3 miles from Eagle Lake in Spirit Lake Crossing. There’s also a Walmart Supercenter just 3 miles away.

Academy programs offered at Lake Region High School

Niche grants Pinewood Elementary School a B-minus, while Westwood Middle School receives a C-minus. Lake Region High School offers several academy programs, from culinary and fine arts to medical and construction programs. The school earns a C from Niche.

Buses in Wahneta and the Amtrak in Winter Haven

In the Wahneta side of the neighborhood, residents can catch the bus along Rifle Ridge Road. Highway 17 runs through downtown Eagle Lake, where it becomes Fifth Eloise Street, and connects the community to Winter Haven and Bartow. The Winter Haven Amtrak station is just 2.5 miles from Eagle Lake in Eloise, and Winter Haven Regional Airport is 9 miles away. Lakeland is 15 miles away, with the Lakeland Linden International Airport 20 miles away. The nearest hospital is Winter Haven Hospital, 5 miles north. For a fun family adventure, Legoland is 6.5 miles east of Eagle Lake.

The potential impact of trains through Eagle Lake

Train tracks run through Eagle Lake, even if there aren’t any stops here. This factor may impact traffic patterns in town and people who are more sensitive to noise.
