The gap between listing sites below is the actual story here: five aggregators show five different starting rents for the same studio, and two of the largest ones are still displaying a Walk Score that’s a third of the property’s current figure.
Floor Plans & Current Pricing
| Floor plan | Size | Price range shown | Source | As of |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Studio, 1 bath | 450 to 475 sq ft | $805 to $920 | Trulia / Apartments.com | June 2026 |
| 1 bed, 1 bath | about 512 sq ft | $893 to $948 | Homes.com | 2026 |
| 2 bed, 1 to 2 bath | about 890 to 1,150 sq ft | $920s to $1,910 | Apartments.com | June 2026 |
| 3 bed | up to 1,650 sq ft | up to $1,910 | Apartments.com, ForRent | 2026 |
The table only captures one moment; confirm current availability with the leasing office before budgeting around any single row.
Is there a move-in special right now?The property’s site currently shows an “Immediate Move-Ins Available!” banner, while Apartments.com’s FAQ block states the community isn’t running a rent special. Specials change fast enough that neither listing should be trusted over a direct call.
Location & Commute
| Destination | Distance | Time | Mode |
|---|---|---|---|
| Florida Southern College | 6.2 miles | 13 min | Drive |
| Tampa International Airport | 41.9 miles | 54 min | Drive |

| Wedgewood Golf Course | — | 5 min | Drive |
Figures come from Apartments.com’s distance data for this address.
Walking and Transit
The Walk Score most listing sites show for this address is 10. Walk Score’s own property page currently lists 31, car-dependent, with a bike score of 35. That’s a real gap, not a rounding difference, and it means several major rental sites are running on cached or outdated data for this specific address.
Schools Assigned to This Address
| School | Level | What’s known | Assignment status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sleepy Hill Elementary | PK to 5 | GreatSchools describes it as performing below average for its grade band statewide | Unconfirmed, per Zillow |
| Dr. N.E. Roberts Elementary | Elementary | Rating not independently confirmed this session | Unconfirmed, per Zillow |
| Sleepy Hill Middle | Middle | Feeder school for Sleepy Hill Elementary students | Unconfirmed, per Zillow |
How reliable are the school ratings shown for this address?Mirror sites carrying the same Sleepy Hill Elementary score report different numeric ratings (3, 5, and “not rated” depending on the site) for the identical school; that’s a caching problem on the mirrors, not a change at the school. Confirm current attendance-zone boundaries directly with Polk County Public Schools.
What Past Residents Say
A ForRent-hosted review credits a leasing agent named Erica with a smooth move-in. A separate review on ApartmentHomeLiving notes the property sits off Highway 98 but that road noise isn’t noticeable from inside the community, a detail worth more than the generic “peaceful atmosphere” phrasing most reviews repeat.
Applying: Costs & Qualifications
Pets: cats and dogs accepted, maximum two per home, 60-pound weight limit, deposit required, per the property’s site, which doesn’t publish the deposit amount.
Income: using the lowest published studio rent of $920 and the 30%-of-income guideline Apartments.com publishes, a renter would need roughly $36,800 in gross annual income to qualify for that unit. No source checked in this session publishes an exact deposit amount, application fee, or required income multiple for this property; call 863-274-3816 rather than accept a generic figure from a listing aggregator.
Your Rights as a Renter in Polk County
The federal Fair Housing Act protects race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability, and familial status; Congress added the last two in 1988, per the Congressional Research Service overview. Florida Statute 760.23 mirrors these same categories at the state level.
This address sits in unincorporated Polk County, not inside Lakeland’s city limits, per Apartments.com’s own property description. Polk County’s ordinance, Code §8.5-101, enforces the federal and state categories above without adding local categories the way neighboring jurisdictions do: Lakeland’s own municipal code adds age and ancestry inside city limits, and Broward and Miami-Dade counties add sexual orientation, gender identity, and source of income locally. None of those local add-ons reach this specific address.
Does this property have to follow LGBTQ+ housing protections?The legal theory for that protection still stands, but HUD isn’t currently enforcing it, and neither Polk County’s ordinance nor Lakeland’s municipal code adds a local requirement covering this address. A resident facing this kind of discrimination here has a weaker enforcement path in 2026 than in 2022.
