Lake Placid sits in the heart of Highlands County, a small central-Florida town known for its downtown murals and the ring of lakes that gives it a genuine waterfront lifestyle. Life here leans slow and outdoorsy — the waterfront homes and lakeside lots draw people who want a boat dock more than a commute, and communities like Placid Lakes and Highlands Park Estate anchor the residential feel.
For buyers, the market is approachable: 69 active listings span a wide $65,000 to $2,150,000 range, with a median list price of $294,500. Most inventory is single-family homes, and there's a steady supply of new construction alongside a handful of townhomes & condos. Homes take a median of 53 days to sell, so there's room to negotiate without the frenzy of a coastal market.
Lake Placid is in Highlands County, Florida.

Lake Placid real estate FAQs
Is Lake Placid a good place to live?+
It's a quiet, lake-focused town in Highlands County built around the outdoors and a walkable, mural-lined downtown. Families are served by schools including Lake Placid Elementary, Lake Placid Middle, and Lake Placid High. The appeal is space and water access rather than nightlife or a fast pace.
Is it expensive to buy here?+
No — the median list price is $294,500, well below most of coastal Florida, and homes over $1M are rare, with just 3 active. If you're watching budget, you can browse by price, since the range starts as low as $65,000.
What do homes cost in Lake Placid?+
Active listings have a median of $294,500, and the average price is about $202 per square foot on a median home size of 1,550 square feet. Over the last 12 months, 82 homes sold at a median of $273,000. Most of what's for sale is single-family homes.
How is the market right now?+
It's balanced and unhurried, with 69 active listings and a median 53 days on market. Sellers are getting about 95% of asking on average, which gives buyers real negotiating room — and it's worth checking the just reduced listings for extra value.
What about HOA fees and property taxes?+
Costs here are modest: the median HOA is around $100 a month and median property tax is about $1,893 a year. Fees vary by community, so expect gated and new-build neighborhoods to sit at the higher end while many single-family lots carry no HOA at all.
