The Beauty of Crescent City, Florida

Crescent City Florida sits up high on a bluff overlooking Crescent Lake. The downtown area has small locally owned shops selling antiques, wedding apparel, health foods, a bed and breakfast, waterfront restaurant and wine shop. It is not a large downtown area but small enough to easily walk around from one end to the other. Large stately historical houses and small ones and even modern ones can be seen within a few blocks of the lake. The lake is famous for it's bass fishing and has an island in the middle of it. The top of the lake has Dunns creek which is  a wide creek which is deep enough for 60' boats to go down and it goes into the St. Johns river. Sometimes large boats use Crescent Lake as a safe haven during hurricane season. Crescent city has an Eagles, Moose and Shriners lodges. There are also small locally owned bars that feature country music and karaoke.
There are small hotels along highway 17 where you can stay while looking at Crescent City real estate in the area.

Spring has come and gone and now summer is upon us. The weather here in Crescent City Florida is really quite mild this time of year with a light breeze coming off of Crescent Lake making it quite pleasant to sit out on the front porch on a lazy sunny summer afternoon. If you like porch swings and southern climes, big fancy houses on oak tree lined streets you will love Crescent City. It is a Florida secret that I would like to share. Just a tiny town on Crescent Lake with all the local amenities such as bank, post office, grocery store, restaurants but without the hustle and bustle and overdevelopment of Orlando and nearby Deland. Drive north on 17 from Deland and you will find Crescent City a pleasant respite with a down home flavor, gorgeous lake views and good folks sittin on their front porch swings soaking up the easy times. While you are visiting drive down Park street north and you will see my Florida lots for sale only 1 block from the lake. Next to them is a Key West style home w. front porch swing. I am hoping someone will build something similar on these lots to blend in with the local historical flavor of architecture. Be sure to visit the waterfront restaurant on the water within walking distance of these properties.
