Discover Winter Haven, FL ADT Monitored Security

Sure, Winter Haven appeals to some for its proximity to the saccharine splendor of Walt Disney World or the movie-themed thrills of Universal Studios Florida. But let's face it, most people don't move to the central Florida city for those reasons. (OK, some do…)

It's more likely that Winter Haven's appeal lies in its nickname: "The Chain of Lakes City." With some fifty lakes linked by a series of canals, Winter Haven offers your pick of fishing spots to land some catfish or Largemouth Bass. Stay out of the way of the sportier types zipping around the lakes using their bare feet as water skis. Yes, that's a thing.

If kicking back and watching the world go by is more your speed, grab a Fuzzy Navel and keep your eyes peeled for a bald eagle or great blue heron. Heck, you might even see an alligator lurking, which is kinda creepy if you happen to be enjoying an order of spicy deep-fried gator tail bites at the time.

Snowbirds likely flock to the area on the hunt for the kind of eagle found on golf courses, and there's no shortage of those, either.

With all this galavanting about, should you worry about your home being broken into in your absence? Not with Your Local Security there to help protect your valuables. Even if you end up having to wait out some of Florida's notorious liquid sunshine at the country club, everything back at home will be safe and dry until you return from living the good life.
