Lakeshore, located between Lake Hollingsworth and Downtown Lakeland, is a residential and lakeside Lakeland neighborhood with a walkable shoreline and a canopy of mature oaks. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along Lake Hollingsworth Drive near the Lake Hollingsworth Park loop, where runners, cyclists, and sunset strollers set the tempo. Streets show mid-century ranch homes and Florida bungalows, with porches and deep setbacks that frame the lake breeze. Florida Southern College’s Frank Lloyd Wright architecture adds a design-forward backdrop. The Polk Museum of Art anchors a gallery-and-lecture rhythm nearby. Hollis Garden supplies formal paths and seasonal color along Lake Mirror.

RA-3
Single-Family District
It is the intent of the single-family districts to provide for single-family detached residential development at a variety of densities and lot sizes that are consistent with the existing and desirable future pattern of development in the city. Provision is made for a variety of residential densities in order to accommodate different residential preferences.; The use restrictions protect single-family detached residential development from the encroachment of incompatible land uses. At the same time, provision is made for a limited number of appropriate non-residential uses which may be established for the convenience of residents while still preserving the overall residential character of the districts.
