If your idea of “roughing it” is having to get out of the pool to get on the boat, we should talk. Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac in Tavares, 1627 Canal Ct is the kind of waterfront property that is getting harder and harder to find. This block-built home offers 4 bedrooms (or 3 bedrooms plus an office), 3 full bathrooms, and a flexible layout that includes an area that would make an ideal in-law suite, guest quarters, or private space for family. There’s no carpet anywhere in the home, and the kitchen features stainless steel appliances. But the real showstopper is out back. The property offers approximately 150 feet of water frontage along a wide, clean canal with access to Lake Eustis and the Harris Chain of Lakes. Bring the boat and the fishing poles—or just your drink and a chair. The large screened-in concrete pool creates the perfect spot to spend Florida afternoons, while the block boathouse gives you a place to keep your boat and enjoy life on the water. Add in the large yard, and there’s plenty of room to actually enjoy the property beyond the pool and canal. And because nobody wants to fall in love with a waterfront home only to immediately start worrying about the roof, this one was replaced in 2020 and comes with a fully transferable roof warranty through 2041 as well as a 1 year Home Warranty for appliances and other major systems. Then there’s the location—and this is where the lifestyle really comes together. From here, you can golf cart to downtown Tavares, putting restaurants, bars, festivals, live entertainment, shopping, and all the events these popular downtowns have to offer right at your fingertips. And when you want to change things up, you can take the boat and explore the Harris Chain of Lakes, with the opportunity to reach other waterfront destinations along the way. Daily conveniences are just minutes away, too. A quick five-minute golf cart ride gets you to the new Aldi coming soon, the post office, or Twisty Treat when the only thing that matters is ice cream. This is the kind of location where you don't have to wait until retirement to start enjoying the Florida lifestyle. Live on the water. Take the boat. Grab the golf cart. Go to dinner. Meet friends downtown. Jump in the pool. Do it again tomorrow. Whether you're looking forward to retirement or simply decided you'd rather start enjoying life now, this is where it's at.

This page tracks what homes in North Lakewood Park actually sold for over the last twelve months, how long they took, and what moved the price. It is built from 5 verified closed sales in the Stellar MLS feed, not from public estimates. Every figure is a net-of-concessions number, which is explained at the bottom. Updated October 2026.

Read this one loosely. Fewer than eight homes closed here in the last year, so every median on this page rests on a small sample and can swing on a single sale.

Sale prices ran from $375,000 to $629,000, which is a wide spread and the reason a single neighborhood median is a starting point rather than an answer.

By size

Home size	Sales	Median price	Median $/sq ft	Median days

A price per foot taken from the whole neighborhood should never be applied straight to one house.

2 of 5Sales carrying a credit

A seller credit covers part of the buyer's closing costs and comes off the seller's proceeds, so the headline sale price overstates what the seller kept. Budget for it if you are selling, and ask for it if you are buying.

How buyers paid

Conventional 3 sales60%

Cash 2 sales40%

Cash was 40% of purchases. A high cash share means a seller has buyers who do not depend on an appraisal, and a buyer using a loan is competing against offers that can close faster.
