On a newer home worth $200,000 your homeowners insurance should be between $6 ...Read More 50-$750 a year (in 2018) but will be higher on an older home so try to buy a home in Winter Haven that was built after 2008 if you can. Legoland Florida ,CSX Transportation and Baycare Health Systems are all located in Winter Haven and they all give a big boost to the local economy.

When we want to eat at the best restaurants, Orlando is up the road on I4. Living in Winter Haven puts us right in the middle of Kissimmee and Tampa, where shopping, food, and attractions are abundant.

The best areas in Winter Haven are the numerous state parks within an hour of my home. We have our choice of the Gulf of Mexico beaches or the Atlantic Ocean beaches, we are right in the middle of each. Tropical storms tend to miss us here too, another reach I lover Winter Haven. Read Less
