Tavares, Florida

Believed to be the oldest home in Lake County built by Capt. Melton HaynesTavares is located in Lake County 45 miles northwest of Orlando, Florida, and is between Lake Dora and Lake Eustis.  The name means "Hub" in Spanish and is known for its small town charm, rolling hills and many lakes.  Founded in 1882, this quaint town has seen an increase in growth that came with the early 2000 market boom that hit Central Florida.  Buyers that could not afford the increase in prices during that time searched the outer regions of Orlando looking for less expensive homes and better deals.  Tourists enjoy the historic sites, lakes and parks and popular nature activities include Fiddler's Green Ranch, the Trout Lake Nature Center, the Amazing Exotics Education Center and Uncle Donald's Farm.  Population: 9,700 (US Census 2000).
