Why Move to Mount Dora

Oct 04, 2020

In scenic, peaceful Mount Dora, where the streets are lined with charming shops, the atmosphere is laid-back and friendly, and the lake is always in view, you're going to fall in love with the relaxing way of life here. Filled with beachy, old Florida charm, but none of the large crowds, traffic, and noise, Mount Dora is a quaint, getaway town tucked along the tranquil lake, far from the hustle and bustle. 

 

Selected among the Top 50 Best Master-Planned Communities in the US by Where To Retire Magazine, Lakes of Mount Dora is a 55+ oasis with beautiful, waterfront homesites, where the small-town charm of Mount Dora is just outside your door. The magic of this town may be hard to describe, but so easy to feel once you’re here… in the meantime, take a look at a few of the reasons Mount Dora is the absolute best place to move to!

The things you love. Downtown Mount Dora, characterized by quaint, colorful buildings and outdoor seating, looks little different than other Florida towns (and that’s just one of the many things that makes this place so special). This family-friendly area of town is where you’ll find unique shops, boutiques, and restaurants, each with its own personality. Known as “the Festival City,” you’ll also get to take part in one of its many year-round festivals that celebrate things like art, seafood, Earth day, plants and gardens, the holidays, and more!

 

Peace and quiet. Many parts of the Sunshine State may be known for bustling nightlife, loud restaurants, and hoards of tourists, but Mount Dora provides an endless respite from this “typical” Florida lifestyle. From the charming streets downtown to the sparking beauty of the lake, everywhere you go feels like a breath of fresh air. Enjoy beautiful blue skies and sunshine, local shops and restaurants where people know your name, and the ability to take a stroll downtown with nothing but peace and quiet.

 

People love living here. One of the best things about Mount Dora? This town treats you like family. From your favorite coffee shop to your favorite spot by the lake, you’ll always know you belong when you’re walking these cozy streets. With a multitude of festivals and opportunities for families to enjoy their time together, Mount Dora is the perfect town to spend a day with your grandkids or friends from out of town. People truly love living here — and you can feel that love in the air, no matter where you are.

 

The beauty of the lake. When you’re sitting by the waterfront, watching the sunshine glistening on the calm waves, you can’t help but feel at peace. Home of the Antique Boat Festival, you’re also sure to spot old-fashioned boats along this 5,000-acre lake, adding to the timeless, traditional charm of this historic town. Whether you’re taking friends on a boat tour, teaching your grandkids how to fish, going for a morning jog along the water, or simply relaxing, Lake Dora is your home away from home, where you’re always welcome to come by and take in the breeze of the waves. 


At Medallion Home, we can’t wait for you to experience the wonders of Mount Dora for yourself. If you’re ready for a beautiful, spacious home that fits you perfectly, surrounded by first-amenities like a clubhouse, pool, and tennis courts, and of course, a town you’ll love to call your own, we’re excited to meet you!

In Florida and throughout the country, PGT Impact Windows are the gold standard when it comes to storm protection. Here at Medallion Home, we initially offered these premium windows as an upgrade because of the investment but they provide so much benefit to the home and peace of mind to the homeowner that we've decided to make them our standard in every home we build. What Are Impact Windows? Impact windows combine heavy-duty aluminum frames with impact-resistant, laminated glass and a special silicone glazing process to keep the glass from breaking away from its frame. That means that during storms and hurricanes, if flying debris hits your windows, they will stay intact rather than shatter, protecting your home from the elements and people and pets from shards of glass. But these windows can do even more. Noise Reduction Your home should be your sanctuary, one where you leave the outside world at the door and that includes noise. Noise pollution is a very real thing and can disrupt your sleep at night, focus during work, or even a good movie night. PGT's impact windows reduce noise from outside by as much as 65%. UV Protection The sun's UV rays are good in small doses to help your body create essential Vitamin D, but there's really no good reason to have them flooding the interior of your home. These powerful rays can fade your furniture, flooring, and drapes, making these items look old and worn before their time. Impact windows can preserve the beauty of your home and help you save money by filtering out 99% of UV rays while still allowing in natural sunlight. Maximum Energy Savings Heating and cooling a home accounts for nearly half of the average American home's energy costs. Security About 23% of all home break-ins are accessed through a first-floor window. Impact windows are designed to withstand repeated impact from a 9-lb, 2x4 beam traveling at 34 miles per hour. It's very, very hard to break an Impact Window (if it can be done at all). It's not the kind of challenge most burglars want to face. Return on Investment For all the reasons above, particularly in Florida where tropical storms and hurricanes are a way of life, impact windows are appealing in any home. These specialty windows can yield as much as an 80% return on investment, ensuring that you'll get top dollar should you ever need to sell your home. Now Standard in All Medallion Homes High quality, impact-resistant windows shouldn't be luxuries - they should be standard features. That's why we now include them in every new home we build. Enjoy the benefits of increased storm protection, noise reduction, UV protection, savings, and security every day. Contact us to learn more.
