689 Lake Howard Dr Nw

The Wellington is a low-rise, garden-style condominium community built in 1969 and arranged primarily as two-story townhouse blocks. Units are predominantly two-bedroom layouts with split-bedroom plans, eat-in galley kitchens, living/dining combos, upstairs masters in many units, and covered parking or carports assigned to each home. Interior finishes commonly include solid wood cabinets, solid-surface counters, crown molding, ceiling fans, built-in shelving, walk-in closets, attic storage and screened or tiled porches with storage closets. Exterior common elements emphasize landscaping and outdoor life: fenced patios, balconies, courtyards, community gardens, irrigation and lighting, with a lakeside dock on Lake Howard. Shared facilities include two swimming pools (one heated), a clubhouse/activity room, shuffleboard and tennis courts, walking trails, outdoor grills and additional storage for boats/RVs. The HOA fee typically covers water, sewer, trash, basic cable/internet, exterior/building maintenance, roof care, grounds and pool upkeep, and building insurance. The property serves a 55+ community profile, enforces a no-pet policy in many units, and is positioned close to downtown Winter Haven amenities, medical centers and regional attractions such as Legoland and the broader Tampa–Orlando corridor.
