Auburndale is a small, lake-dotted Polk County city set roughly midway between Tampa and Orlando, with a rental market dominated by single-family houses rather than large apartment communities. Renters looking for a true multi-unit complex have only a handful of options, though those that exist range from a brand-new resort-style community to a niche 55+ golf community.
As of mid-2026, Auburndale's average one-bedroom apartment rent runs around $1,220/month, slightly below the national average and trending down about 4% year-over-year, though the newer named communities in town (The Groves at Lake Juliana, Elio at Lake Lena) command noticeably more than that citywide average.

Renters insurance is not optional here. Many Florida leases require it, and standard policies generally do not cover flood damage — that may require separate coverage, even in an apartment. Before signing, look up the building's flood zone on FEMA's flood map service and ask which evacuation zone it sits in.
Ask about the real monthly cost. A recurring theme in public resident feedback is fee stacking: valet trash, common-area electric, mandatory bulk internet, pest control, admin and tech fees. Get the full itemized monthly figure in writing before you apply.
Tour with the AC running and ask about hurricanes. Humidity control is the difference between a fine unit and a moldy one; ask how old the AC is. And ask directly how the building handled the last major storm — communities that performed well say so happily, and reviewers call out the ones that didn't.
