This corner of Tavares sits in Lake County's chain-of-lakes country, where waterfront lots and quiet residential streets feed into the Tavares Elementary attendance zone. It's a genuine small-town rhythm — 33 of the current listings touch the water, and families here stay close, with Tavares Middle School and Tavares High School rounding out the school path. Orlando is close enough to matter but far enough to breathe, with downtown about 51 minutes away.

For buyers, the math is refreshingly reasonable. There are 164 active listings with a median list price of $295,000, and homes are moving at a measured 42.5 days on market — enough time to think without waiting forever. Over the last year 409 homes sold at a median of $275,000, and sellers collected 96% of asking, so pricing is realistic on both sides.

Straight answers

Tavares Elementary School FAQs

Is the Tavares Elementary area a good place to live?+

It's a small-town Lake County community with genuine lake access — 33 of the 164 active listings are waterfront — and a clear school path into Tavares Middle School and Tavares High. Orlando is about 51 minutes away, so you get quiet without being cut off from the metro.

Is it expensive to buy here?+

Not by Central Florida standards. The median list price is $295,000 and homes average $209 per square foot, with active listings spanning from $42,002 to $2,700,000, so there's real range from starter homes to a handful of $1M-plus properties.

What do homes cost in this zone?+

The median list price is $295,000 on a median home size of 1,571 square feet, while homes that actually sold over the past year came in at a median of $275,000. That gap tells you there's room to negotiate on well-priced listings.

How is the market right now?+

Steady and balanced. There are 164 active listings, homes sit a median of 42.5 days before selling, and 409 homes closed in the last 12 months with sellers averaging 96% of their asking price — a market where neither side is under pressure.

What about HOA fees and property taxes?+

Carrying costs here are modest — the median HOA runs about $75 per month and median property tax is roughly $2,621 per year. For buyers weighing renting versus owning, median rent sits around $1,813 per month.
