You did not bring up the weather in Winter Haven. There has never been an evacuation in this area. When hurricanes hit either coast we just get under 50 mile an hour wind and medium heavy rains at the most. I lived here during a hurricane that actually was directly in our path but by the time it hits the middle of the state where Winterhaven is it’s completely died down. I think that’s a big plus for this area.
I'm from NJ and that is one of my biggest fears for Florida. I am hoping to move to Florida in 3 yrs. And I was looking for weather info. Thank you for this comment. Now I feel better.
I’ve been scouting Florida for three years now. I’ve also kept track of past present and possible future hurricane paths, weather, etc… other than what climate change could cause “long term”-- I only plan to be in FL for the next 2-3 years or so… I must say “geographically” Winter Haven looks like an ideal place to be. I had a good feeling about this place when I began my career in Neuro. I was looking for somewhere to break into my career after graduation. Winter Haven stood out to me first. Still sounds good👍
I graduated from All Saints’ Academy in WH. I love that it is still a small town and has plenty of homes with space from your neighbors, too. And it has the best community theatre.
Hey Christian, I saw you at 999 and had to press that sub button! Great quality videos, and we are getting ready to build at Estates of Lake Florence. See you soon!
Wow my thousandth subscriber. I really appreciate the sub. I don’t know you but you are about to be my neighbor lol. Have you been to Estates of Lake Florence yet? I live within walking distance.
@@Christianclay Yes, we are in the process of doing up a contract to build there... We have enjoyed watching your videos, and I appreciate your production quality! We are relocating to Florida to be close to the cruise ports! (And get away from the snowy & cold winters here in Michigan!)
I live in California and want to move there sometime, but with the rapid growth, they definitely need more retail stores including target,more supermarkets. Hopefully it's already in the city's plans.
@@kimsansing4328 That is another gorgeous city. If you are interested in making the move be sure to send me and email so we can put together a game plan!
Christian, my family and I are looking to move to Winter Haven and like to know if you have long term rentals also? We will be moving there in May of this year.
Great video!!! Moved here from NYS three years ago and love it so much. 45 minute drive to Tampa and an hour to Disney. Great place to retire and raise a family.
Keep in mind that all of those areas provide some great options and have their own reasonings to make for a good place to live. But if I had do list them on average, most affordable on up it would look like this: 1. Winter Haven - Auburndale 2. Haines City (very close second) 3. Lakeland 4.

Hey there! I’m not too sure what the crime rate is compared to some of the other surrounding areas. Like most established cities you will have some good and some bad throughout the years but for the most part I’ve known WH to be a great place.
@@Christianclayif it didn’t flood during hurricane Ian (which came after a month of rain literally every single day), then it’s official, winter haven is flood-proof lol
I lived in Orlando for 15 years and visited Winter Haven frequently, such a cool city. I moved out of Central Florida in 2015 and then wondered what the heck did I leave Orlando for? 🤦🏾♂️.
@@Christianclay Nice. I moved to Atlanta. I like it here. But recently thoughts and images of Florida have been popping up in my mind and I find myself checking out different cities and watching videos like yours. I would say that this is a beginning of a move back. Are you a Realtor or Real Estate investor?

Hi Shelley! I get that question all of the time. Check out my video titled ‘Moving to Florida’ we go over that subject 👍🏽 th-cam.com/video/LBGpolppHok/w-d-xo.html
The best thing I did was leave this city its nothing to do boring no jobs, I live in Hallandale Beach which is next Miami and Hollywood Beach the night life is amazing and its always some were to go and enjoy yourself
Great video. Excellent quality and info. I may need help looking for a home there soon.
I’m glad you gathered some information! You can always email with any questions cclayhomes@gmail.com
@@Christianclay I think I may need some information as well with moving. I will be coming from Maryland. I expect to move in 3 yrs top.

Winter Haven is a shit hole

I have some Friends who’ve graduated for AS as well!
I remember you Christian from golds gym wow
Lol that’s right!
Moving here in about a year or so from North Carolina I’m excited!
Nice! Ever been ?
@@Christianclay drove through going from Orlando to Tampa never stopped in WH
@@BryantBaudelaire You will have both Orlando and Tampa to enjoy living in WH
Great video, thank you Christian

@@Christianclay It's actually Robert... I think he just got transferred there in December.
@@thecruiseworld Nice. Welcome 🙏🏽
Purchased an old but in good condition Mobile Home. Family members also live there now.
Nice buy! I appreciate you watching
I live in California and want to move there sometime, but with the rapid growth, they definitely need more retail stores including target,more supermarkets. Hopefully it's already in the city's plans.
A lot is coming near this City. Your Target is about 20 min away right now. But I agree they could use more within the city!
@@Christianclay I am trying to buy a home in winter haven and need an agent,can you help
@@erniem870 Yes! Send me an email or or text: cclayhomes@gmail.com (863) 225-0060 we can set up a call 👍🏽
I love winter haven, I am going to move there.
It is definitely a great city. Especially if you love lakes… have you visited before?
@@Christianclay I love lake.No I've never been there before but I used to live in St.Petersburg for 2 years about 20 years ago.
@@kimsansing4328 That is another gorgeous city. If you are interested in making the move be sure to send me and email so we can put together a game plan!
Might want ti check out Mulberry and Polk City in Polk County.
For sure. Both rural areas but have a ton of potential. What did you want to know about them?
Pray for Winter Haven during Hurricane Ian!
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I love it here♥️
The hidden gem 💎
Would you please make one about Davenport?
🫡🫡
Not sure if you are looking for new builds but I currently have a couple of builders offering 3.5% rates for a very short period of time.
Great job!
Thank you 🙏🏽
Love it 😍
Thank you for watching 😁
Christian, my family and I are looking to move to Winter Haven and like to know if you have long term rentals also? We will be moving there in May of this year.
That is awesome. You will love Winter Haven. Unfortunately my team and I do not handle the rental side.
Love the show keep it up!
Thanks! Will do!
Great video!!! Moved here from NYS three years ago and love it so much. 45 minute drive to Tampa and an hour to Disney. Great place to retire and raise a family.
agreed!
You remind me of (sneaky pete), (from), the TV series...(Sneaky Pete).
(wheeler-dealer)
Lol I’m not sure if that is a compliment but I will check him out!
Would be nice to see more retailers (Target, BJs etc.)
Great info Raul! I will be sure to implement that into other videos!
Also would like a bulk shopping store here. Either a Costco or Sams would be great.
NICE
Thank you 🙏🏽
Which has cheaper new houses Winter Haven, Auburndale, Haines City, Davenport or Lakeland?
Keep in mind that all of those areas provide some great options and have their own reasonings to make for a good place to live. But if I had do list them on average, most affordable on up it would look like this:
1. Winter Haven - Auburndale
2. Haines City (very close second)
3. Lakeland
4. Davenport (closer to Disney)

Why does Winter Haven have a high crime rate ? Are there specific places to avoid ?
Hey there! I’m not too sure what the crime rate is compared to some of the other surrounding areas. Like most established cities you will have some good and some bad throughout the years but for the most part I’ve known WH to be a great place.
I wonder what this area looks like now after Hurricane Ian?
Not bad actually. Some of the lakes were up but no flooding 😃
@@Christianclay That's wonderful to know! Also, thanks for replying back!
@@bluebird7557 not a problem at all. Thank you for watching 😁

I actually spent half my life in Hollywood. You are right about the nightlife and things to do there.
I have lived here for almost my whole life and it is becoming way over populated in my opinion
It has grown fast. Lake Wales is going to see the next boom I believe.
@@Christianclay yes these smaller surrounding towns will definitely see lots of traffic in the coming years.
@@bishopkrout6323 Certainly!
