Plant City Real Estate

About Plant City

If you’ve ever eaten a midwinter strawberry, chances are good it was grown in Plant City, Florida – known as the winter strawberry capital of the world.
With a population of 33,000+ people, and upwards of 87,000 in the surrounding region, Plant City is a vibrant mix of past and present.

While the I-4 corridor to the north is home to much new high-tech and clean industry, agriculture still plays a key role in Plant City’s economy.

The land is a patchwork of pasture and citrus groves, strawberry field and plant nursery farms, older tree-lined residential areas, and broad, sprawling fairways of the newer and ever-growing segment of planned communities.

Because the city discourages mobile home developments, it’s primarily a single-family home community.

The median price of a single-family home is $278,000 although starter homes and townhomes can be had for just under $100,000.

Many vacant lots are still available, as are ranches and farmland. Walden Lake is one of the most popular Plant City neighborhoods: with more than 3,000 homes on 2,000 acres and a country club, two 18-hole golf courses, tennis, hiking, trails, and more.
