Mascotte has maintained its reputation as a small agricultural community for more than a century; but with Lake County’s recent growth, this little farm town has shifted towards a new suburban future. Over the last five to ten years, residential and commercial developments have gradually started to replace the area's once-rural farmlands. Today, Mascotte's neatly organized subdivisions sit on the far west edge of South Lake County at the crossroads of SR 33 and SR 50. When describing the neighborhood’s appeal, Mascotte’s City Manager emphasizes its prime location. “You can enjoy all the big city amenities here without sacrificing the peace and quiet of small-town living,” Annamarie Reno explains.
Residents of Mascotte are less than an hour away from the busy streets of Downtown Orlando.

New housing developments around SR 50
Currently, most of the neighborhood's organized subdivisions are concentrated around SR 50 on the east side of town, but a recently approved redevelopment plan will expand housing further west into Mascotte. These HOA-run communities feature craftsman-style bungalows packed neatly along sidewalk-lined streets. Screened-in back patios and glass-covered pools offer these residents a pleasant escape from the hot Florida sun. Older ranch-style homes offer a wonderfully secluded lifestyle in the rural woodlands of west Mascotte. While the city is projected to double in size over the next decade, Reno says it's not too late to find an affordable home in Mascotte. "The city's low housing prices and property taxes make it an ideal location for first-time homebuyers or anyone who wants to stretch their budget further." Most three-bedroom bungalows list between $250,000 and $450,000 in Mascotte, but some multi-acre estates can cost up to $650,000.

East Meyer Boulevard is a downtown thoroughfare
Central Florida’s main arterial thoroughfare, SR 50, runs east-west through the center of Mascotte. Known locally as East Meyers Boulevard, this central highway forks into SR 33 at the town's only stoplight. From here, residents can head north on SR 33 or hop on the local LakeXpress bus line to access eastern Lake County. Mascotte's rural residential streets may feel far from any big city, but Orlando's downtown business district and the airport are less than an hour's drive away. Even closer to town, South Lake Hospital is just 20 minutes from Mascotte.
