Search Lake Somerset on the map

Lake Somerset sits in the heart of Polk County, the kind of established Lakeland neighborhood where the commute math works in your favor — downtown Tampa is about 44 minutes out, Walt Disney World roughly 55, and both major airports stay within an hour's drive. The streets feel residential and settled, with nearby communities like Lake Hollingsworth, Sandpiper, and Winston rounding out the broader area's character.

For a buyer today, this is a tight, moderately priced pocket of the Lakeland market. There are just 6 active listings with a median list price of $255,950, and homes are moving at a measured pace — around 51 days on market — while sellers over the past year have pulled in 99% of asking. That combination means you have room to be selective without the frenzy you'll find in hotter corners of Central Florida.

Lake Somerset is a community in Lakeland, Florida.
