Lake Miriam Drive Apartments satire:

Your next living quarters can help you BUILD CHARACTER

Welcome to the first of many high-rise, high-density apartments, coming to a neighborhood near you right here 10

Marvel at the six buildings as high as 3 or 4 stories and gaze with the birds-eye view of the top of the Lk Miriam Square commercial roof and overlook the one-story houses that are nearby.

You will get used to the banging sound of garbage trucks emptying the 10 dumpsters by your apartment. The existing neighbors have.

Enjoy the water view through the chain linked fence surrounding the swiftmud required retention pond, that will replace the woods on the eastside.

Feel comfortable sending your kids to bike on the narrow sidewalks of Lk Miriam Drive and South Florida Avenue. Take this opportunity to teach them to be alert and remind them that the curb is their friend that protects them from the traffic a few feet away. Or tell your kids to go play DODGE CAR as navigate through their neighborhood parking lot of Lk Miriam Square.

You can play the game of find a parking place at this Preferred Apartment Community and know that there is no losing…you can always park in nearby spots in the Lk Miriam Square. The businesses there won’t mind much because they aren’t open 24/7.

Need to drive north?  Access S. Fl Ave by taking the circuitous route through the parking lot, by two exits from your housing units.

Don’t worry about challenging traffic when you need to go south, east or west. Just merge in on Lk. Miriam Drive, with any luck at all, the good Lakeland drivers may let you in. Give yourself some downtime, as you wait for a couple light cycles. And don’t blame Preferred Apartment Communities that the City of Lakeland and Polk County didn’t fix the failed road before they let PAC build on it.  The state won’t let us talk about the traffic. So, it’s NO PROBLEM!

Walk in the Florida heat and rain to Lk Miriam stores on those exits; The three-way stop will keep your mind active as you cross the walkway.

When you shop for your groceries, ask Publix if you can borrow a cart to take to your apartment. They have plenty.

Enjoy the quick stroll across the two-lane access road that cuts through the apartment complex on your way to the side that has the swimming pool. Bathe with your 488 neighbors.

Pay no attention to the reviews on APARTMENTRATINGS.COM – YOU may not hear the neighbors’ sneezes or intimate grunts through the walls in these COMPACT quarters. 

Who could imagine that a developer could be so strategic as to crush 22 apartment units into a single acre? ELEVEN TIMES.   Brilliant!

Thank goodness for out of state developers who know what’s best for Lakelanders. We are counting on people moving down here who don’t know that these 244 units will not add to their quality of life……but they will be expensive.
