Paradise Palms is a 55+ age-restricted community in Lakeland, an affordable central Florida city with a small-town feel and growing downtown revitalization. Located on Old Tampa Hwy, the park sits within a short drive of shopping, dining, and healthcare services that serve the Lakeland area.
The community spans 50 lots, creating an intimate setting where residents often know their neighbors. Pets are welcome - cats without restriction, and dogs with community approval - making it a good fit for owners who don’t want to leave their companions behind.
Established in 1986 and operated by Parakeet Communities, Paradise Palms operates on well water and septic systems. Monthly lot rent averages $360, and the community currently has several vacancies available. Paved streets and off-street parking keep the layout organized, while sidewalks encourage walking.
Lakeland’s proximity to I-4 puts Tampa, Orlando, and Tampa Bay beaches within reasonable driving distance, while the city itself offers parks, lakes, and a slower pace than larger Florida metros.
