Heathrow

Heathrow is Lake Mary's premier gated golf community, with estates generally running $700,000 to $3 million-plus. It's consistently cited as one of the most desirable addresses in the city's housing market, built around golf-course frontage and upscale, low-density lots.

Timacuan

Timacuan is the city's second major golf community -- a roughly 400-acre planned development of 500-plus homes across nine sub-neighborhoods, built around the semi-private Timacuan Golf Course. It's generally positioned as the value alternative to Heathrow for buyers who want country-club-style living without Heathrow's top-tier pricing.

Huntington Landing (Huntington Ridge and Huntington Pointe)

Located off Lake Emma Road south of Lake Mary Boulevard, Huntington Landing comprises 326 lots across Huntington Ridge and Huntington Pointe, with homes generally priced $275,000-$500,000 -- a more accessible entry point than the golf communities above, with easy access cited to top-rated Seminole County schools.
