Lakefront retreats and quiet suburban streets
There are several prominent lakefront homes and condominiums in Lake Howell. Over half of Lake Howell's residents are homeowners and many live within HOA communities, such as Sausalito Shores. HOA Communities that own lakefront property grant residents fishing and boating access. Still, most residents live in traditional suburban sprawl, with wide streets and sidewalks flanked by dangling Spanish moss. Home styles range from late-20th-century condos and ranch-style houses to brand-new houses and townhomes. Single-family houses in the area have an average square footage 30% higher than the national average. Prices depend primarily on the home style and size of the property. Older and more modest condos start around $150,000, while larger condos and new townhomes can cost up to $480,000. Single-family home prices range from around $350,000 for an older ranch home on half an acre of land to as much as $800,000 for lakefront retreats or contemporary houses with fenced-in backyards.

Residents have easy access to private and public recreation
The 400-acre lake has no public boat ramps and is accessible only to the area's residents. Lake Howell's depth varies from three to 24 feet in some places, and most of the community HOAs allowing lake access recommend that boaters consult the lake's topography to avoid sand bars. With this in mind, boaters and anglers can safely fish for largemouth bass and bluegills swimming around the lake. Public water and fishing access are available just north of Lake Howell at Red Bug Lake Park, which also features a playground, tennis courts, soccer fields and a boardwalk where locals can enjoy views of the surrounding wetlands. Baseball and softball enthusiasts can run the ball fields at Wirz Park or bike through the forest along the Casselberry Greenway Trail. Close Encounters Fishing Charters is a local company offering chartered fishing trips around Central Florida.
