I am already a homeowner. I purchased June 2023. However I am new to Winter Haven so I watch these to learn the area. These homes are not far from me ride by all the time omw to home depot lol. The screened lanai makes me jealous every time I drive by.
At this EXACT location two years ago there was a "running gun battle" between rival gangs that left one dead four seriously wounded. A bunch of nice new houses were pockmarked by bullets. When I moved here, my real estate agent (whose husband is a WH cop) said "avoid Buckeye loop." But hey, who worries about gun violence?
You really have to check the demographics of the surrounding areas when your buying in Florida there are third world conditions in every city in Florida it’s a shame but it’s hard to avoid not like in New England where urban violence is very concentrated in its cities not spread throughout the area
