The best lakes in Florida to live on are in Central FL. Florida's best lakes to live on are actually just on the north side of Walt Disney World and just to the southwest of Downtown Orlando FL. There are many lakes here and the area is famous for them.
The best lakes in Florida to live on should have certain qualities. Being spring fed is a great quality, have amazing views, plenty of homes to choose from and they need to be great for boating. There just happens to be a group of lakes that meet these specifications. Although there are around 50 lakes here 13 of them are interconnected and world famous. Those lakes are referred to as the Butler Chain of Lakes.
Most of the local lakes are around 120 feet above sea level. I live on a lake and my home is high enough off of the lake that we do not even need flood insurance. That surprises many people but that is the local reality. In recent years the county and city have gotten fairly strict on retaining walls, beaches and boat docks. Overall that has been for the best and helped protect property values.
It also makes your lakefront lifestyle much more pleasurable with local options for entertainment etc. Why not have it all? Well once again great news. We local performing arts, Walt Disney World, Universal Studios and a whole lot more. Take a quick look below at our amazing homes on our lakes.
