In case you missed it, a new apartment complex is coming to the area around Lake Mirror, blending brand new construction with the historic neighborhood’s style. We stopped by Valencia at the Park for an update on construction at the corner of East Orange Street and South Lake Avenue.

Set to open for move-ins on April 1, Valencia at the Park consists of 32 units across three buildings. On the first floor are single bedroom units. Above, the two bedroom units all include two stories of space. Similar to nearby bungalow homes, each unit will also have a patio or balcony. Even the orange-themed names of the floor plans pay tribute to Lakeland’s citrus industry history.

The complex faces a street, and a few cars are parallel parked along the road. Several small trees are planted around the perimeter.

The complex is designed according to the historic district’s guidelines.

Because the complex sits inside the East Lake Morton historic district, it has to match surrounding structures and the neighborhood’s historic design. Developer Jason Lewis of CODA Development shared that the homes will be painted in vintage green hues, and the exterior will feature the area’s signature bungalow-style architecture.
