Haines City
Haines City, FL, USA
Everything at Hickory Hills Manor is arranged to give you a reason to leave the house and someone to see when you do. It starts at the brand-new clubhouse, where planned events pull the week together and give the day a place to begin.
From there it can go almost anywhere: rack up a game of billiards, throw a round of darts, deal a hand of cards, or head outside for shuffleboard, horseshoes, or ladder ball. When you want to move more, the tennis and pickleball courts and two swimming pools are steps from your door. The practical pieces are handled too–a laundry room and a dog run cover the everyday, while weekly Bingo and HOA events keep the social calendar full.












Hickory Hills Manor offers peaceful gated living in Lakeland with the convenience of being just minutes from everyday essentials, local attractions, and Central Florida’s most popular destinations. Because the essentials sit just minutes out, errands stop eating your day and that leaves room for everything below.
Major shopping centers, restaurants, and everyday essentials are just a short 5-minute drive from the community. When you want more than the basics, Lakeland Square Mall anchors the north side with Dillard’s, JCPenney, and a Cinemark theater, and downtown’s cafes and restaurants make dinner out the easy plan–all from a setting that goes quiet again the moment you come home.
Located just 2 miles from downtown Lakeland, residents have quick access to local parks, lakes, and the city’s charming downtown area. Start at Lake Mirror, where a one-mile promenade wraps the water beside the free botanical grounds of Hollis Garden, then walk over to Munn Park at the historic center. A few blocks south, Lake Morton pulls you back again and again–its white and black swans have been a Lakeland fixture for nearly a century, and the lake doubles as a bird sanctuary.
For something unexpected, Florida Southern College sits on Lake Hollingsworth with the world’s largest single-site collection of Frank Lloyd Wright architecture. And the calendar keeps drawing you downtown: First Friday fills the streets with makers and music each month, the Downtown Farmers Curb Market runs every Saturday morning, and each May, Mayfaire by-the-Lake lines Lake Morton with artists from across the country.
Golfers have a real choice a short drive away. Cleveland Heights, a public course open since 1925, sits close to downtown, with Sandpiper and Wedgewood rounding out the options nearby. With Florida’s weather cooperating most of the year, a standing tee time becomes the easy choice instead of the ambitious one. And for one week each spring, the SUN ‘n FUN Aerospace Expo turns nearby Lakeland Linder Airport into one of the world’s largest fly-ins, worth a look even if you’ve never set foot on a runway.
Orlando and Tampa are each about an hour away, close enough that a free day can become a real outing. Head east for Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando, or west for Busch Gardens, Tampa’s Riverwalk, and the Gulf beaches at Clearwater and St. Pete. Both cities’ international airports keep the rest of the world one short drive from your door.
