Two or three at a time

Side by side

You pick them. We don’t score them, and nothing here adds up to a winner.

All nine, same order for everyone, whether you’re holding one or three.

Just Lake County so far. All of this is true of it on its own — pick one more and the same questions get asked of both.

So what is it actually like?

Lake County

Hills, which Florida is not supposed to have

Clermont sits on actual elevation, Mount Dora runs on antiques and a lighthouse, and the chain of lakes runs through all of it. Cheaper than Orange County and further from everything in it — the commute to downtown Orlando is the whole conversation, and it does not get shorter.

What does it cost, and how long is the drive?

Lake County

$379,432 median asking

across 3,801 live listings

Median asking price of live MLS listings we can place in the area, refreshed nightly. Not a value estimate, and never a verdict on where you should look.

The drive is the half we still won’t touch: our map is a drawing rather than a survey, and a drive measured on a drawing is not a fact.

What’s actually there?

How many pages we hold in a part of town is a fact about us, not about the place.

What would annoy you about living here?

Lake County

The hills are real and so is the distance — the drive into Orlando is forty minutes on a good day, and out here you drive for everything.

And what’s coming?

Lake County

The Olympus Project — under construction, as of May 26.
