From the Coldwell Banker Islands & Resorts listing:

The best fishing in the lake exists off the island’s eastern side. And Lake Harris, being part of a chain of lakes and waterways, even enjoys boating access to the Atlantic Ocean.

A mainland parcel connecting the lake’s shoreline with a paved road provides an access link to Long Island, which remains a wondrously secluded, serene sanctuary whose sensitive use assures the preservation of its magnificent attributes for generations to come.

Saturday, September 8th, 2007

The Reserve at Tuscawilla is one of the nicer gated golf communities around Orlando. $699,000 will buy you a 4188 sq/ft 5 bedroom, 4 bathroom cul-de-sac home with pool, spa and 3 car garage. Not bad for this well developed and maintained community.


316 Heatherwood Ct. Winter Springs, FL

I did a little digging and realized that this particular home has decreased in value by 12% compared to this time last year. However, the property has increased in value by 58% over the last 5 years. Anyone who has been to the Reserve at Tuscawilla knows that it’s a fine community that will continue to be a top notch area to have a home in near Orlando.
