Highlands County, Florida
Highlands County sits on the Lake Wales Ridge in inland south central Florida, anchored by Sebring, Avon Park and Lake Placid among hundreds of lakes. Its economy is citrus, cattle and a large retiree population, and its land pattern is unusual: extensive mid-century platted subdivisions and globally rare scrub habitat under conservation easement both constrain what can actually be built.
