Babson Park sits on the sandy Lake Wales Ridge in central Polk County, a quiet lakeside town anchored by the clear waters of Crooked Lake and the local Dale R Fair Babson Park Elementary. It's the kind of place where waterfront homes and citrus-country lots share the same road, and life moves at a slower pace than the Orlando suburbs to the north.
The market here is small and varied: 25 active listings with a median list price of $370,900, ranging from an entry-level $139,900 all the way up to $1.25 million. Homes take a median 65 days to sell, so buyers generally have room to negotiate, and with 11 of the current listings flagged as new construction, there's more fresh inventory here than the town's size suggests.
Babson Park is in Polk County, Florida.
