The Valencia at the Park apartments are absolutely amazing, especially for watching the Christmas Parade without having to set out your chairs on the sidewalk.
These two-story townhouses are on the second and third floor of the apartment building and have their own private entrance, assigned parking, and a gorgeous view of Barnett Park. They even have EV charging stations.
The balcony off of the livingroom was large enough for our entire family (5 adults and 3 kids) to all be outside together, and I felt so comfortable letting my grandbabies (2, 3, & 5) play around out there while we all enjoyed the parade.
The apartment has two bedrooms and 2.5 baths, with the living space (livingroom, dining room, kitchen, and half bath) on the second floor and the two bedrooms, two full baths, and laundry area on the third floor. One bedroom looks north, out over Barnett Park, and the other bedroom looks to the south, over the parking lot and historic homes. I watched Santa from the front bedroom window as he rode his sleigh up Orange Street, bringing Christmas officially to Lakeland.
The fireworks show at the beginning of the parade was amazing from the second floor patio too. I can't wait to see the Red, White, and Kaboom Independence Day fireworks from the apartments as well, and listen to all of the concerts in the park from the balcony. City living from the comfort of home.
Barnett Park offers a toddler park area as well as a big kid playground, and a bistro where you can enjoy lunch inside or outdoors while overlooking Lake Mirror.
Kentucky Avenue with all of the city nightlife is literally just across the lake, so you can walk to all of the events like First Friday and the Farmer's Market.
This is definitely the most amazing location to live in the city. Close to everything. Lots of space. Great views, and fabulous entertainment from your front balcony.
