Sandpiper Winner of Polk County's People's Choice Award
Our community proudly stands as the distinguished recipient of the Ledger's prestigious annual award for the best retirement community, a testament to our unparalleled excellence and vibrant lifestyle. This esteemed accolade was bestowed upon us in their "Best of the Best" supplement not once, but twice, in both 2016 and 2018. Given the vast array of retirement communities throughout Polk County, this recognition is not just an honor; it's a resounding affirmation of our commitment to providing an exceptional living experience. Our collective pride in these achievements shines brightly, illuminating the remarkable dedication and spirit that define our community.
Located in the sun-drenched heart of Florida, Sandpiper emerges as a vibrant oasis for those 55 and above, strategically perched between the bustling cities of Orlando and Tampa.
