The Golden Triangle |

Today's visitors and residents are attracted for the same reasons but are also looking for a certain "County Feel" this area offers. The Golden Triangle is know for being one of the friendliest areas in the country. A short 30 minute drive from the outskirts of Orlando, the Golden Triangle is close to big city shopping, cultural activities and sports events, but far from the congestion and "hurry up and wait" lifestyle. It is a slice out of "Old Florida" where everyone knows your name and big city problems seem far away. Mount Dora is known for is quaint New England style homes and beautiful lakefront scenery. Antique shops and restaurants abound, along with beautiful parks where sunset walks are a must.

The
Golden Triangle is named for the area between the cities of Eustis, Mount
Dora and Tavares, Florida. This unique part of Central Florida is rich in
history. Early residents were attracted to the area because of it's high
elevation, beautiful lakes and majestic oak groves. 
Eustis
is a traditional country town with an old style downtown area with small
shops and local restaurants. The Eustis Lake Walk is a new addition to
the town. It is a modern concrete boardwalk with beautiful iron gates and
railings where you can walk the lakefront and may even see someone catch a
fish or two. The old Florida Hospital building was demolished in 2004,
opening room for more shops and an expansion of the already successful
downtown shopping area.
Tavares,
located on the north shore of Lake Dora, is the County Seat. City
employees, court officials and attorneys are frequent visitors to this
mixture of beautiful old and new office buildings and court facilities.
Here, a wave to a friend crossing the street is common and a smiling face
is a pleasant change from typical stone-faced business expressions.
