More About Lake County
Living in Leesburg and the surrounding Lake County area offers a lifestyle centered on the water and a deep connection to Florida’s natural landscape. The area stands out as an affordable refuge for those priced out of the Orlando metro, providing a mix of historic downtown living and sprawling new subdivisions. While the region is currently navigating significant growth challenges, including increased traffic and a shifting demographic, it maintains an authentic, unpretentious spirit. It is the ideal location for anyone who prioritizes outdoor recreation and a high “bang for your buck” in housing, all while remaining within a reachable distance of Florida’s major urban hubs.
If the location of these communities is not your ideal location, Maronda Homes is also building:
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the "vibe" of Leesburg compared to its neighbors?
If Mount Dora is “boutique” and The Villages is “manicured,” Leesburg is “authentic and rugged.” It has a blue-collar heart and a slower, more traditional Florida pace. The historic downtown is charming and increasingly active, featuring local mainstays like The Great Chicago Fire Brewery, but the city overall feels more “lived-in” and less like a tourist destination.
Is Lake County really as "water-focused" as they say?
Absolutely. Living in Lake County means being surrounded by the Harris Chain of Lakes. Life revolves around the water—weekend boat parades, world-class bass fishing tournaments, and waterfront dining. If you don’t own a boat, you probably have a friend who does.
Is it still affordable to live in Leesburg?
Yes, it remains one of the best “value” spots in Central Florida. The median home price in Leesburg is approximately $315,000–$330,000.
- New Growth: Massive developments like Venetian Isle and the expansion of The Villages into the southern parts of Leesburg have brought thousands of new, modern rooftops.
- Rural Options: If you move just outside the city limits into greater Lake County, you can still find multi-acre properties and “old Florida” homesteads that are rare in nearby Orange County.
What about taxes and fees in Lake County?
Lake County property taxes are generally moderate, but many of the newer developments in Leesburg come with CDD (Community Development District) fees, which can add a few hundred dollars to your monthly mortgage.
What do locals do when they aren't on the water?
Venetian Gardens is the crown jewel of Leesburg, a massive waterfront park with trails, a splash pad, and a community center. The city also hosts the Leesburg Bikefest, one of the largest motorcycle rallies in the country, which transforms the downtown area for a weekend every spring.
