Lake Wales Living

Lake Wales sits amongst the ""rolling hills on the highest ground in peninsular Florida."" This may be true, but if you have a picture of mountainous Florida in your head, get it out quickly! The city’s elevation is only 148 feet.

In 1911, Lake Wales hit the ground running after it was founded by the Lake Wales Land Company—a rather apt name if we say so ourselves. This company purchased 5,000 acres and set to work creating a community and a legacy. Like much of the American South, the land was rich in resources. Specifically, Lake Wales was a great place to gather turpentine and timber. The Lake Wales Land Company was able to successfully create an economic powerhouse and, in 1917, the city was officially incorporated.

Today, Lake Wales is a small city with an outgoing, friendly population. If you have kids (or you think you might one day), you may be interested to learn that the local school system is dominated by charter schools. What does this mean? More choice in education! The city has 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 1 vocational technical school, and 1 high school.

Lake Wales is also the hometown of NASCAR driver, Mario Gosselin, MLB star, Wade Davis, and NBA player Dominique Jones. Who knows what other famous athletes might emerge from this town!

In Search of an Outing

If you can't find something fun to do in this part of Florida, you're just not trying.

If you’re into nature, the Bok Tower Gardens is a bird sanctuary and botanical garden that you can’t miss. The place is notable for its eye catching architecture. Bok Tower, the tallest structure around, reaches up 200 feet from its perch on the top of Iron Mountain, a “mountain” that rises 300 feet above sea level. We’ve heard that if you stand at the top you can see all of Florida. Okay, we didn’t really hear that, but Florida is fairly flat so we imagine that you could see pretty far away if you stood at the top.

Make sure to pay a visit to Lake Wales' commercial historic district as well. This is a charming, old-timey shopping district with 16 buildings that are on the register of historic places. Come for the antiques, stay for the ambiance.

There's more going on in Lake Wales than you might think, but if you’re looking for even more fun and excitement, Tampa is only an hour or so to the west. So what are you waiting for? Start looking for your new apartment today!
