Mercedes Homes has made it real easy in this uncommon market to make the right decision for your family with the “Right Size your Life” campaign, and we are excited to have these new floor plans, prices, and fresh designs right at our Lake Smart Estates Community. Lake Smart Estates gets its name because it sits along the banks of Lake Smart, one lake in a chain of 3 navigable lakes. Plan for only 129 exclusive homes and with 20 homesites right by the lake with shared docs, and a community gazebo you will enjoy many amazing sunsets together with you family and friends. Lake Smart is situated right in the heart of Winter Haven.

Winter Haven exists in a paradise-like setting between two major metropolitan centers (Tampa and Orlando) with international airports and a myriad of arts, cultural and recreational amenities within a 45 minute drive. You can enjoy a relaxing, family-oriented location with all the excitement of the “big city” just minutes away. Disney, Universal Studios, Sea World, and Tampa Bay Bush Garden are all just minutes away….It truly is a great place to live, work and play … and quite affordably, too!!

Winter Haven has officially adopted the slogan, “The Chain of Lakes City.” Widely recognized as the water skiing capital of the world, World champion barefoot skier, Ron Scarpa, operates a barefoot skiing school on the chain. Winter Haven’s “Chain of Lakes” is a boater’s paradise. The famous chain is a unique series of 16 lakes connected by navigable canals. Winter Haven is 146 feet above sea level. Its city limits touch or surround more than 30 lakes. Polk County’s 2,002 square miles include 554 freshwater lakes.

Winter Haven has a population of more than 33,000 people its primary industries are healthcare, agribusiness, distribution, tourism and an emerging technology sector located in the heart of the downtown. Several industrial parks and an excellent transportation network of roads, railways and air travel serve our growing business community.
