Lake Alfred sits in the heart of Polk County, a small lake-dotted town where the pace stays slow but the theme parks are close enough for a spontaneous afternoon — Walt Disney World is about 31 minutes away and downtown Orlando roughly 47. The character here is genuinely water-oriented, with a handful of waterfront homes and lakes threading through neighborhoods like Water Ridge and Lake Mariana Acres, plus a walkable core around Downtown Lake Alfred.

For buyers, this is one of the more attainable spots in the Orlando-Tampa corridor. With 108 active listings and a median list price of $359,990, there's real range — from entry-level options you can browse by price up to a couple of $1M+ properties — and a heavy dose of new construction, with 51 of those listings being newly built. Homes are taking a median of about 60 days to sell, so there's room to negotiate without the frenzy of a hotter market.

Lake Alfred is in Polk County, Florida.

Lake Alfred real estate FAQs

Is Lake Alfred a good place to live?+

It suits buyers who want small-town, lake-oriented living with easy access to big-city jobs and attractions — Walt Disney World is about 31 minutes out and downtown Orlando roughly 47. The core is walkable around Downtown Lake Alfred, and Lake Alfred Elementary is the most common assigned school. It's a quieter alternative to living closer to the parks.

Is Lake Alfred expensive?+

Not by Central Florida standards. The median list price is $359,990 and the average is about $190 per square foot, with active listings ranging from $97,500 all the way up to $1,225,000, so there's genuine choice across budgets. You can browse by price to find the entry-level end.

What do homes cost in Lake Alfred?+

Over the last 12 months, 278 homes sold at a median price of $332,700, and the typical home runs about 1,867 square feet. The current median list of $359,990 reflects the mix of resale and the 51 new construction listings on the market now.

How is the market right now?+

It's balanced and not overheated. With 108 active listings, a median of 59.5 days on market, and sellers getting about 98% of asking on average, buyers have room to negotiate — it's worth checking the just reduced listings.

What about HOA fees and property taxes?+

Carrying costs here are modest: the median HOA is just $29/month and the median annual property tax is $3,145. Fees vary by community, so gated and newer neighborhoods like those in gated communities may run higher than the median.
