Lake Kathryn Houses for Sale

Lake Kathryn is a small bedroom community in unincorporated Lake County, home to about 800 residents and quite a bit of wildlife. Jessica Kemp, a Realtor with Aparo-Griffin Properties who lives nearby and sells throughout the area, says it’s common to see deer, bears, foxes, raccoons and birds. “If you don’t like wildlife, you won’t like Lake Kathryn,” she says. However, this rustic area, about 50 miles from Orlando, is growing due to increasing housing prices in the metro area. “It’s easier to buy and sell here because it’s lower priced than most places. And there’s a down-home, small-town feel out here you don’t get everywhere,” she says. Two- or three-bedroom manufactured homes are most common in Lake Kathryn, though some one- or two-bedroom options are available. Buyers can find properties built from the 1980s that need updating or newer ones built after 2020. Prices range from $90,000 to around $270,000, with higher-priced homes often sitting on a half-acre or more. Empty lots are plentiful, with parcels typically ranging from a tenth of an acre for around $5,000 to a full acre for $35,000. Regarding crime, Lake Kathryn scores a 2 out of 10 on the CAP Index, two points lower
