Single story homes have front and back lawns, with the area reminiscent of “old Florida,” with most built between the 1960s and 1980s, says Kasey Thompson, a broker with Safe Harbor Realty Inc. “It’s probably one of the most affordable neighborhoods to buy into,” says Thompson. Homes in Palm Lee Park range between $250,000 and $400,000. Craftsman, Florida cracker box and ranch-style homes are the predominant types in the area. Residential and commercial lots are also for sale. Thompson says that many buyers in the neighborhood are families and locals, but tourists buy second homes for vacation or rent. Thompson also says the area has no homeowner’s association. Students start at nearby Orangewood Elementary, which has a B-minus grade on Niche, then on to B-graded Paul Lawrence Dunbar Middle School.
