Listed by Frances Pierce PA• REALTY EXECUTIVES IN THE VILLAGES
Orange Blossom Gardens, located between US-441 and Lake Griffin, is a golf-cart-friendly and low-rise Lady Lake neighborhood with mid-century ranch homes and palm-lined streets. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Orange Blossom Gardens Recreation Center, where shuffleboard courts, lawn games, and clubhouse chatter set the daily rhythm. Orange Blossom Gardens Recreation Center and the Orange Blossom Gardens Country Club act as familiar community pillars tied to the area’s early Villages-era layout. Streets favor single-story footprints, screened lanais, and tidy carports, with pocket greens and cart paths threading through. The setting reads distinctly Central Florida: flat terrain, big skies, and water nearby.
