Listed by Catherine Landry-Sonstegard• BHHS FLORIDA REALTY
Royal Harbor, located between Lake Dora and downtown Tavares, is a waterfront and residential Tavares neighborhood with canal-lined streets and private docks. The neighborhood reads as Florida coastal-inland, with stucco homes, screened lanais, and palms framing wide, curving roads. Character concentrates around the Lake Dora waterfront at W Ruby St and N Sinclair Ave, where marinas, patios, and boardwalk strolls set the tempo. Community pillars include the Tavares Seaplane Base, the Dora Queen paddleboat, and the Lake County Museum of Art & History. Evenings track the shoreline, with boats idling through the canals and sunset views across the lake. Daily routines orbit water access, parks, and the compact downtown grid.
