“Well, of course, you know one of my favorite neighborhoods is Legacy of Leesburg and here’s why:

• The community is right across the street from PEAR Park – Palatlakaha Environmental Agricultural Reserve – plenty of nature to enjoy there with walking (and exercise stations) trails, and much more. This blends right in with Legacy, a “nature” community.
• The community is convenient and within 1-2 miles from local shopping as well as organic farms and the famous Yalaha bakery!
• The community is also centrally located for easy access to major roads for a quick trip to the airport or Orlando attractions.
• There’s a ‘rural’ feel, with surrounding rolling countryside for bicycling and enjoying the close lakefront views!” Marilyn Morris, Realtor in Leesburg, Florida
