As a magnificent man-made pond, Garner Lake was built in 1959 specifically for the now defunct Lakeland Amusement Park. Today, it's the centerpiece for the city of Lakeland and residents who flock to live there. This gives new meaning to "build it and they will come." The lake is a major appeal that covers about 235 acres with just over seven miles of shoreline.
To get to where it is now, Lakeland had to go through somewhat of an identity crisis: first being an amusement park and then a drag strip racing venue before finally settling into the rural wonderland of communities it is today. Residential real estate consists primarily of medium to large single-family homes, though there is some rental property. You might even stumble upon a mobile home or two. Lakeland is a good example of the finer side of rustic living: wooded seclusion with easy access to urban excitement. Only 12,430 people live there, packed like sardines in a 23.5 square mile area, per 2010 census data. See more
Finding condos for rent in Lakeland is almost no different than renting an apartment in a big complex. The real difference is the ownership. Condos are owned by individuals within the same building. However, apartments in a large complex are owned by a single landlord or property management group.
Sometimes the price of condos in Lakeland may prove cheaper. The owners are often moving onto a new home or leaving the city and just need someone to cover the costs. Apartment complexes are designed to deal with tenant issues, make repairs, and care for the property. Condo owners will still deal with repairs and upkeep but may need more time to address a problem, especially if they don’t live nearby. However, condo owners have a more vested interest in the property and keeping their tenants happy to reduce turnover.
Choose the best condos for rent in Lakeland that meet your wishlist for budget, amenities, and layout. You probably won’t notice the difference between the condos and apartments you tour.
