Lake Forest is a 486 lot gated community located on 538 wooded acres SR 46, just west of I-4 in Sanford. Home prices range from $425,000 to over $1.7M. Most homes are custom with Morrison Homes currently building higher end production homes. The community is centered around a 70 acre lake with a large lakefront clubhouse, Olympic size swimming pool, fitness center, and tennis courts. Very convenient to I-4, Lake Mary business parks, and Seminole Mall. Lake Forest has won the "Grand Aurora Award" from the Southeastern Builders Conference for the best residential community in the southeastern U.S.

Doug’s Insight: One of the area's most attractive communities with lush vegetation and towering trees. Much of the area is filled swampland so check lots for standing water. Public sewer is a plus for this kind of land. Middle and high school are not the most sought-after but both are improving with IB and magnet programs.
