About Tavares
Tavares is America's Seaplane City — the only city in the United States with a dedicated downtown seaplane base on a navigable chain of lakes, where Super Cubs and floatplanes take off daily from Lake Dora's waterfront directly adjacent to the downtown waterfront park. The Harris Chain's connectivity (same system as Leesburg's Lake Harris), the Mount Dora adjacency, and the Lake County Courthouse create a complete county-seat community at Lake County's most distinctive address. Medians around $300K-$420K.
