Lakeland new construction is booming! We recently introduced new homes coming soon to Myrtlebrook Preserve, opened a new model home at Lakeside Preserve, and now have a brand-new neighborhood of new homes in North Lakeland to introduce, Keen’s Grove.

Located on the outskirts of the city, off Knights Station Road, about one mile west of Kathleen Road, just 25 exclusive homes will be built in this semi-rural community, providing an ideal combination of laid-back surroundings and convenience to shopping, recreation, and major roadways such as I-4.

In this desirable setting, spacious new construction homes are situated on 1/4-acre homesites, with pricing from the $380’s, including a standard homesite and quality features.

Peaceful Yet Convenient Location

This area of North Lakeland is known for country roads, towering trees, and farm estates.

Located west of Kathleen Road, I-4, and the Lakeland Square Mall, this area of Lakeland is known for its two-lane country roads, towering trees, and small farm estates. Homes are spaced farther apart, with large yards and green spaces creating serene surroundings.

Keen’s Grove was designed to match the feel of the area, with homes spaced back from Knights Station Road and separated from this main road by two large ponds and trees. 25 exclusive homes sit along a non-through cul-de-sac, and trees border most of the community, enhancing the private, peaceful feel.

Despite the serene setting, these Lakeland new homes are:

  • Just minutes from major roadways and commuter routes including Interstate 4 (1.7 miles), US 98 N (3 miles), and Highway 92 (3 miles).
  • Convenient to shopping and daily conveniences, with the nearest Publix Super Market just 1.3 miles away, and the Lakeland Square Mall and Shoppes of Lakeland within 3 miles.
  • Near parks and recreation, such as trails at the Itchepackesassa Creek Wetlands (2.6 miles) and Lower Green Swamp Nature Preserve (3.9 miles), Douglas M. Cook Park and Dog Park (3.7 miles), and Lakeland’s newest urban oasis, Bonnet Springs Park (4.9 miles).
  • Accessible to healthcare such as Lakeland Regional Health’s Kathleen Campus Urgent Care (1.7 miles), Lakeland Regional Health Medical Center and Watson Clinic Main Campus (4.1 miles), and South Florida Baptist Hospital (8 miles).

Plus, Downtown Lakeland is only 4.5 miles away, where you’ll find food halls and fine dining, craft breweries and cocktail bars, and unique shopping, art, and events.
