Best community in Winter Haven!

July 31, 2026 - Review from Apartments.com
I’ve been at the Carlton at lake Dexter for a little over 2 years now and I would 100% recommend this community. The wonderful leasing team work hard everyday to ensure that you have what you need and they always strive to help a new prospect get the new home they want. The maintenance team, with a wonderful leader at the head, ensure that the community you call home is always looking beautiful and the technicians always go above and beyond to ensure your issue is resolved. Furthermore, the ...
amenities here are top-tier. With a 24/7 gym and yoga center to the multiple grill stations, a huge pool, and the famous Dexter island with a beautiful view of Lake Dexter. If you and your family are looking for a new place to call home, the Carlton at lake Dexter is a place I would 100% recommend.

My experience

December 30, 2025 - Review from Apartments.com
It was excellent because of the positive energy from the front office the environment was very clean and delightful and all the amazing amenities that this environment brings and truly was a great experience and definitely will be back.

Not Luxury Living

February 10, 2025 - Review from Apartments.com
I came back from a walk today only to find a bicycle blocking the entrance way, an empty plastic water bottle left on the ground, the entryway to the neighbors apartments are filthy, the breezeway is dirty and there is paint peeling from the wall in breezeway (it’s been like that for months). The pool is always dirty and the grill area is always dirty. You pay a lot of money to live in this new complex (only a year old) and it’s disgusting!
