Shore Acres sits in Lakeland's cluster of lake-lined neighborhoods, where a handful of homes trade quiet residential streets for easy reach to the water. It shares the same central Polk County character as nearby Lake Hollingsworth and Sandpiper — settled, unhurried, and well-placed for anyone splitting time between two metros. With Downtown Tampa about 44 minutes out and Walt Disney World near 53, it works for commuters and weekend planners alike.
For buyers, this is a small, moving market. There are just five active listings right now, with a median list price of $274,999 that stretches from $268,500 up to a lone $1.2M waterfront outlier. Over the past year 20 homes sold at a median of $248,500, and sellers collected 99% of asking on average — so priced-right homes don't linger, even with a median 41 days on market. If you're comparing options across Lakeland homes for sale, this pocket rewards buyers who move decisively.

Is Shore Acres expensive?+
It's mid-range for the area, with a median list price of $274,999 and homes running about $162 per square foot. There is one $1.2M waterfront listing on the high end, but most inventory clusters much closer to the median.

How is the market right now?+
Tight and efficient — just five homes are active, and the median time on market is 41 days. Sellers averaged 99% of asking over the last 12 months, so serious buyers should be ready to act on the right listing.
