Who would have thought that two tiny settlements in Central Florida would transform into a premier luxury community? Situated between two major highways and just a 20-minute drive away from Orlando, Lake Mary started out as a farming community until the late eighties when a property surge transformed the city into an industrial and residential center.
Since then, “The City of Lakes” has earned numerous distinctions for being a top choice among homebuyers. CNN, for one, ranked Lake Mary as among the best to live in while Money Magazine placed it fourth in its own list. This is because it has some of the country’s best-rated schools and the lowest residential property tax in the whole Seminole County.

The median cost for owning a home ranges from mid $200,000 to over $400,000. Despite the low prices, leading a luxury lifestyle is never lost as the community comprises nearly 400 acres of luxury homes, landscaped grounds, and an abundance of wildlife. The golf and country club has over 90 acres of common area for all residents to enjoy.
