Toward the west you will pass Winter Haven FL (Legoland) and Lakeland FL. Then Plant City which is the strawberry capital of the world. Attractions galore and all things strawberry. Be careful in Polk County, you might never leave this part of Central Florida. It is one of Florida's hidden gems for affordability and located in a very fast growing area.

Other Cities In The Central Florida Region

Lake Wales is a great spot but a little but rural. It is just west of Winter Haven FL & South of Kissimmee. Windermere Florida is one of Florida's most secretive and wealthy cities and borders Disney. Winter Garden FL and Horizon West are the fastest growing area in the Central Florida Region and it too borders Walt Disney World property. Although I prefer where I live, I really like parts of Clermont Florida because of the chain of lakes, affordability and the hills around it.
