The lifestyle in Lakeland · Central Florida · Polk County

The lifestyle scene in Lakeland, Florida.

Lakeland sits squarely between Tampa and Orlando in Polk County — a midsize city built on citrus, logistics, and Publix's corporate home, with a historic downtown, Frank Lloyd Wright's Florida Southern campus, and dozens of namesake lakes. It's a settled, churchgoing, working-and-middle-class community, more traditional and reserved than either metro it sits between.

What the scene looks like here

Polk County has no standing lifestyle club, but Lakeland's middle position is the upside: Secrets Hideaway — the clothing-optional resort and nightclub anchoring Central Florida's scene — is about 35 minutes east in Kissimmee, and Tampa's clubs are a similar drive west. For a reserved community like this, the move is to verify and treat Secrets as the nearest real destination.
