About Highland Place
Located in central Florida, Lake County is bordered by the following counties: Orange, Seminole, Osceola, Polk, Sumter, Marion, and Volusia. Mt. Dora is the jewel of Lake County. The town was named after the massive Lake Dora, which surveyors named in 1846. On the other hand, Lake Dora was named after Ms. Dora Ann Drawdy (1819-1885), who homesteaded the area in the 1800s.
Lake County is located in beautiful central Florida, just minutes from downtown Orlando. Mount Dora is 184’ above sea level, making it one of the highest elevations in Florida, named by “Money Magazine” as one of the three best places to live in America. Streets lined with majestic oaks and historic homes bring one back to a turn of the century America. The area is flourishing with local shops and markets filled with various treasures, specialty restaurants, a bakery, ice cream, and confectionery treats. Music fills the air on the weekends as businesses vie for the people’s attention enjoying the welcoming atmosphere.
