Close-knit residential community in Lakeland with surrounded by wetlands
On the eastern banks of Lake Parker, in the aptly named city of Lakeland, residents of Combee Settlement are close to major employment centers, including power plants and distribution hubs just north of the neighborhood, while enjoying natural landscapes that usually can’t be found in more urban areas. “People here love jet skiing, boating, fishing,” says Cameron Woods, local real estate agent at Dream Realty Group and lifelong resident of Lakeland. “If you’re an avid watersports person, this is a haven.” Although the landscaping makes this community feel more rural, homes here are densely packed and close to major roadways where locals can access larger chain businesses and amenities.
Most of the homes available in Combee Settlement are from the mid 20th century.
Minimal Traditional-style housing with covered porches
Homes in Combee Settlement are typically packed close together along flat, sidewalk-less streets, many with above-ground backyard pools. “What’s nice is that we’re more protected from hurricanes,” Woods says. “We get them, but don’t get blasted like the coast.” Midcentury Minimal Traditional-style homes, including many manufactured homes with two bedrooms, covered porches and gated yards, usually sell for between $100,000 and $200,000, while late 20th-century ranch-style homes with three bedrooms and attached garages can sell for around $300,000. More recently built properties, including three-bedroom bungalows with shingle roofs and stucco exteriors and four-bedroom Modern Craftsman-style properties with large fenced-in backyards, can sell for between $300,000 and $400,000.

Commuting on Citrus Connection buses
With Tampa about 35 miles away on U.S. Route 92 and Orlando 50 miles away on Interstate 4, Combee Settlement residents can commute to major cities for work or just for fun. Citrus Connection’s Orange Line bus can take locals 4 miles into Downtown Lakeland. Nearby hospitals include Watson Clinic Hospital, about 5 miles away, and Lakeland Linder International Airport, about 12 miles away.
Stocking up on groceries at local markets
The dining options are concentrated off Route 92, otherwise known as East Memorial Boulevard, which runs along the community’s southern edge near Crystal Lake. Residents can grab a quick bite at Hungry Howie’s or enjoy the barbecue at BubbaQue’s. Also nearby is Harvey’s Supermarket, one of Combee’s grocery stores. A few of the others, Dollar General Market and Lakeland Discount Grocery are located along County Road 33, which runs north of Memorial Boulevard.
