Frequently asked questions

How many cheaper, more affordable apartments are available in Lakeland, FL?

There are 1,230 cheaper apartment units available for rent.

What does "Cheap" mean for Apartment rentals in Lakeland, FL?

Cheap is a relative term to communicate more "affordable" rental and living expenses. Although a property might be found within the "Cheap Apartments" search, does not mean it is a low-quality rental. These more affordable apartments are also relative to the other apartment inventory within Lakeland. Some areas will be cheaper than others and based on demand, rent will fluctuate.

How to search for Cheap Apartments in Lakeland, FL?

When searching on HotPads for more affordable apartments, use the "Sort:" feature to sort apartments by Lowest Price for Lakeland. Additionally, set a max price for your search and select "Save search" to be notified in real-time when "cheaper" apartments come on the market.

What are some additional tips for securing a "cheaper" apartment?

Although a larger multi-tenant building is less likely to negotiate rental terms there are a few things that don't hurt to try, including:

Offer to sign a longer lease for lowered monthly rent
Negotiate landscaping or property maintenance for lowered monthly rent
Ask about becoming an onsite property manager
Educate yourself regarding the apartment rental market and market rates in Lakeland. Knowing this will help you accurately negotiate fair rent.

About Lakeland

Area Information

Lakeland is a city in Polk County, Florida, within an hour's drive of both Tampa and Orlando. Lakeland retains its Old Florida charm with a traditional downtown that boasts pretty Mirror Lake, which is surrounded by a historic promenade. With 38 lakes, the city really is a land of lakes. Several have resident swans that are descendants of two royal swans bestowed on the city by Queen Elizabeth in 1954.

Downtown Lakeland is also the site of regular festivals and programs, including monthly food-truck rallies in Munn Park, and First Friday events that feature free music and themed activities.

History and architecture are important parts of Lakeland's personality. Florida Southern College, established in 1883 and located in central Lakeland, has 2,000 students and features a number of buildings designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. The campus sits on a hillside overlooking scenic Lake Hollingsworth, and has more than once been named the nation's most beautiful by the Princeton Review.

Lakeland residents enjoy the local theaters and museums, but also easily access events and programs in Tampa and Orlando via I-4.

Renting in Lakeland

Those seeking apartments for rent in Lakeland can choose from a variety of options, including historic districts with vintage character in town and newer apartment complexes with lush landscaping and pools outside the city's core. Rental prices in Lakeland are more affordable than in major-metro markets in Florida.

Lakeland highlights:

The Detroit Tigers: Detroit's Major League Baseball team comes to Lakeland annually for spring training at Joker Marchant Stadium, north of downtown.
The Polk Museum of Art: This popular museum hosts modern and contemporary art collections and exhibits.
The Florida Air Museum at SUN 'n FUN: An aviation museum and education center that features a major air show every spring.
The Polk Theater: A busy downtown theater that's been called a mini Radio City Music Hall because it has 1,400 seats and maintains the ornate details of its 1928 'movie palace' origins.
Circle Bar B Reserve: This nature preserve draws visitors from around the state. It's just minutes outside of town and features hiking, picnic facilities and a nature center.
