Dixieland / South Lakeland (Edgewood Drive) · Lakeland, FL · Our summary of recurring themes in public resident feedback, plus property details and advertised rent. Updated Jul 2026.
Quick take on Fountain Square Apartments
Fountain Square is an older garden community on Edgewood Drive that competes on price and location rather than polish, sitting minutes from downtown and the Dixieland district. It suits renters who value responsive, community-minded management and central convenience, provided they accept the wear-and-tear realities of a 1970s-era property.
