About the area

Rural / SecludedLakesideCar-DependentQuiet

Lake Buffum is a tranquil freshwater lake surrounded by citrus groves, ranches, and scattered lakefront properties in rural southern Polk County. It offers open water views, boating, and fishing opportunities away from heavy suburban congestion.

Scores are safety-driven: recent crime levels and local news, plus Census data on income and poverty, housing, education and household make-up, and access to vehicles, internet and health coverage. Walk and bike scores are shown separately and do not affect the safety score. A guide, not a guarantee. Neighborhood outlines come from official city and US Census boundary data.
