Eustis Heights Elementary School

It's a solid pick for families who want a smaller Lake County town with genuine access to Orlando — downtown is about 51 minutes and the theme parks 55 to 61 minutes out. You're near the schools that anchor daily life, including Eustis Elementary School and the middle and high schools. The lake setting and 13 active waterfront listings add to the appeal.

Compared to metro Orlando, no — the median list price is $320,450 and the median home sold over the last year at $324,990. Prices span a wide range, from $64,900 up to $1,795,000, so there's genuine room to match a budget. Only 3 of the 89 active listings are priced above $1M.

Expect a median around $320,450 to list, working out to roughly $191 per square foot on a median home size of about 1,662 square feet. The Eustis homes for sale here cover everything from entry-level properties near $65,000 to luxury near $1.8M. New construction makes up 35 of the current listings if you want something ready to go.

It's active and balanced. There are 89 homes on the market, they're taking a median of about 37.5 days to sell, and 371 homes closed over the past 12 months. With sellers getting around 98% of asking, pricing here is realistic rather than inflated.

Costs are modest for the area — the median HOA runs about $102 a month, and note there are no gated or 55+ communities currently active in this zone. The median annual property tax is around $3,038, and if you're weighing renting, the median rent sits near $2,000 a month.
