Straight answers
Tavares Middle School FAQs
Is the Tavares Middle School area a good place to live?+
It's a lake-country community in Lake County with a strong waterfront character — 73 of the current listings are on the water — and a clean school path through Tavares Elementary and Tavares High. Downtown Orlando is about 50 minutes out, so you get a quieter lakeside base without cutting yourself off from the metro.
Is it expensive to buy here?+
Not by Central Florida standards — the median list price is $329,000 and homes trade at roughly $218 per square foot. There's a wide range, from about $49,000 up to nearly $3 million, so both budget buyers and those chasing a high-end waterfront home can find footing.
What do homes actually cost in this zone?+
Over the past 12 months, 895 homes sold at a median price of $303,900, while active listings carry a median asking price of $329,000. The typical home runs about 1,680 square feet, and 24 of the current listings are priced above $1 million if you're shopping the top of the market.
How is the market right now?+
It's active and balanced — 383 homes are listed, the median time on market is 49 days, and sellers are getting about 96% of asking on average. That combination gives buyers real choice and a bit of negotiating room without a fire-sale environment.
What about HOA fees and property taxes?+
The median HOA runs about $129 a month, though many homes here — including plenty of the 56 gated listings — vary, so confirm per property. Median property tax is around $2,768 a year, and if you're weighing renting first, the median rent sits near $1,915 a month.
