City Guide

Buying a Home in Groveland.

Groveland is the fast-growing Lake County city between Clermont and Leesburg, where the biggest master plans carry two builders at once and the prices start noticeably lower than the Wellness Way corridor. It is a country-hills town that is suburbanizing quickly, with sports fields, lakes, and five-plus new communities in motion at the same time.

Why Groveland

Two builders, one roof: the comparison-shopping capital.

Groveland's pitch is value and pace. It is southwestern Lake County, about 30 minutes from downtown Orlando, with US-27, FL-50, and the Turnpike all within reach. The land is classic old-Florida country, oak canopies and lakes like Cherry Lake and Lake Lucy, and the town has been absorbing master-planned growth for a decade.

The distinctive thing about shopping Groveland new construction is the dual-builder master plans. Waterstone pairs Lennar and Taylor Morrison on 400-plus acres; Cypress Bluff pairs KB Home with Risewell Homes; and Trinity Lakes and Blue Springs Reserve Townhomes give the local builder Trinity Family a big footprint here. That means you can compare two incentive programs in a single afternoon, and Deacon Shores and Lennar's coming-soon Cypress Reserve are both on deck.

Groveland's schools are served by the Lake County district. For the buyer who wants new construction with room to spread out, a lower entry price than the Wellness Way corridor, and a commute that still reaches Orlando, Groveland is the strongest comparison on this list.

Resale Homes

Buying resale in Groveland.

Groveland resale is a young market: most homes on the market were built within the last decade, so the resale pool overlaps heavily with the builder products. That makes negotiation interesting, because an existing owner is competing directly with the builders next door. The older Groveland inventory around the lakes and the historic center is the smaller, slower-moving pool, and it tends to reward patience.

  • Get pre-approved before you tour resale homes, so offers can move the day you find the right one.
  • Know your flood zone and insurance picture early. Lake-area resale homes vary more than new subdivisions.
  • Resale means negotiating from the inspection, not the spec sheet. Kelly runs comps and conditions analysis before you offer.
  • The 25% Buyer Commission Gift applies to eligible resale purchases too, with written terms up front.

Quick Answers

Straight answers for Groveland buyers.

The three questions I hear most from Groveland buyers, answered in plain terms and in my own voice. Community rosters were re-checked against builder and listing sources on October 24, 2026.

Who is a new construction Realtor in Groveland?

I'm Kelly Wheeler, the Real Estate Ninja, a Realtor at eXp Realty (Florida license SL3352000) who specializes in new construction in Groveland. The communities I cover are Waterstone, Trinity Lakes, Cypress Bluff, and Blue Springs Reserve Townhomes, plus Deacon Shores and Lennar's Cypress Reserve as they open.

I also give eligible buyers a gift equal to 25% of the buyer-side compensation actually earned on their purchase, subject to lender requirements, brokerage approval, and written program terms. The important part is timing: register with me before your first builder visit so your representation is confirmed from day one and you are covered.

New construction or resale in Groveland?

Groveland is a new-construction town first: most of its housing stock is under ten years old, and the builders are actively competing for buyers. Resale still makes sense when you want a completed community or a bigger established lot.

  • New construction: compare two builders and two incentive stacks in one afternoon at Waterstone or Cypress Bluff, with a new-home warranty and no renovation surprises.
  • Resale: established streets, mature landscaping, and earlier-phase lots inside the same master plans, usually below today's builder list prices.
  • I represent the same way for both, and the 25% buyer commission gift applies to eligible purchases either way.
