Lakefront · Big Sand Lake
Dr. Phillips
Big Sand Lake, quiet cul-de-sacs and the restaurants of Sand Lake Road, on ground named for a citrus grower whose groves once covered it.
- The houses
- Lakefront estates, gated enclaves
- The pace
- Lively by day, calm on the water
- Getting around
- About 20 minutes to downtown Orlando
- It suits
- Families who want the lake, good restaurants and the parks all close at hand.
The water
Big Sand Lake and its smaller neighbors are the heart of the area, ringed with lakefront houses and docks for ski boats and pontoons.
The food
The stretch of Sand Lake Road locals call Restaurant Row puts some of the best dining in the region a few minutes from home.
The houses
Lakefront estates, houses in small gated enclaves, and a few modern houses built on the water in the last decade.
