What to Know Before Renting in Lakefield South
Lease Terms
Lakefield South requires a minimum 90-day lease. A home may only be rented once per 12-month period. The 90-day minimum makes Lakefield South a viable option for equestrian season renters who want a golf or lake-view home in a gated setting with easy access to the show grounds. If you need a rental under 90 days, reach out and I can help you identify Wellington communities where that may be an option.
Equestrian Season Rentals
Wellington is home to the Winter Equestrian Festival (WEF), one of the largest and longest-running horse shows in the world, which runs from January through April each year. Lakefield South is a popular choice for equestrians and horse show attendees who want a gated neighborhood with golf and lake views, private pools, and easy access to Aero Club Drive and Southern Boulevard to reach the show grounds and surrounding venues.
If you are looking for a seasonal rental during WEF, plan ahead. Equestrian season inventory moves fast, and many tenants begin their search 3 to 6 months in advance. Reach out early and I will add you to alerts so you are notified the moment something hits the market.
HOA Approval Process
Because Lakefield South is a gated, HOA-governed community, tenants go through an HOA approval process before move-in. This typically includes a rental application and background check, with an approval period that generally runs about 2 to 4 weeks. There is an application fee per applicant — confirm the current amount with the HOA or through me when you are ready to move forward. Plan your move-in date accordingly and factor this window into your timeline.
Pets
Lakefield South allows up to 2 domestic pets. Individual landlords may have additional restrictions on top of HOA rules. If you have a pet, share the breed and weight in the questionnaire below and I will focus your search on homes where your pet will be approved.
