Lakeland by the numbers
The same data we use to price and underwrite our own portfolio, with the sample behind each figure shown.
A bit of Lakeland history
Identity originated with Lakeland Amusement Park developed in the early 1960s around a man-made lake. Residents incorporated in 1977 (population ~612) primarily to control zoning and avoid annexation by Memphis or Bartlett. Experienced a 470% population increase in the 1990s.
For owners that translates to a buy-and-hold market: values are up about 23% over five years, and 86% of homes are owner-occupied, so a rental that does come open tends to draw long-term, well-qualified residents. The last twelve months have been flat to slightly soft, in line with the wider for-sale market. That is the honest near-term picture; the five-year trend is the one that has paid owners here.
