Pinewood Elementary School

It's a solid fit for families who want newer homes and quieter Winter Haven neighborhoods while staying connected to Central Florida. The zone feeds into recognized campuses like Denison Middle School, and the parks, Tampa, and Orlando are all roughly an hour out. That balance of value and access is what draws most buyers here.

Not by Central Florida standards — the median list price is $297,888 and the average is $167 per square foot. Listings currently span from $59,999 to $849,000, so there's real range, and none of the active homes are priced above $1 million. It's one of the more approachable corners of the region.

Expect a median around the high $290s to low $300s, with the median sold price over the past year coming in at $305,000. The typical home is about 1,728 square feet, and there's everything from entry-level options near $60,000 up to larger homes approaching $850,000. Browse the live map to see current inventory by area.

It's steady and balanced. There are 125 active listings, homes take a median of 49 days to sell, and 269 homes closed over the last 12 months at 98% of asking on average. That tells you buyers have choice and negotiating room without prices sliding.

Carrying costs are light here — the median HOA is just $45 per month, and the median property tax is $3,523 per year. A handful of gated communities exist among the active listings, but many homes carry little or no HOA at all. Always confirm the exact figures on any specific property.
