Golf Frontage Isn't Just a View. It's a Price Premium That Holds.
Golf course frontage in Lake Mary commands 15 to 25% premiums over comparable interior lots — and those premiums hold because supply is permanently fixed. You can build more homes, but you can't build more golf course frontage.
In Heathrow and Alaqua Lakes, the best golf course positions are also the least available. When a home on the 12th fairway at Heathrow or overlooking the Alaqua Lakes Tom Fazio course comes to market — buyers who are ready move immediately. Those who aren't lose it.
Ray and Kelly know which lots face east for morning shade, which fairways offer the longest views, and which positions are considered the premium addresses within each community. That knowledge directly impacts the price you pay or the price you receive.

Six Things That Determine Whether a Golf Course Home Is Worth It
Not all golf course positions are equal — and not all golf course premiums are justified. Here's what separates a strong purchase from an overpay.
Lot Orientation
East-facing lots get morning shade and afternoon sun on the course. West-facing lots bake in the afternoon. In Florida, orientation matters more than almost any other lot characteristic. We know which positions are premium and which aren't.
Fairway vs. Green Proximity
Homes adjacent to greens face more foot traffic and slower-moving players. Homes along fairways have longer views and more privacy. The difference isn't visible on a floor plan — it's something you learn by walking the course.
Course Activity & Noise
Cart paths, tee boxes, and maintenance routes all affect livability on a golf course lot. Homes adjacent to the cart path get early morning noise. Knowing the course layout before you buy is essential — and most buyers don't.
Course Maintenance Standards
A poorly maintained golf course directly damages adjacent home values. Heathrow and Alaqua Lakes both maintain their courses to private club standards — one of the key reasons golf frontage here holds value over time.
Membership Requirements
Some golf course communities require club membership for HOA approval. Others make it optional. In Heathrow and Alaqua Lakes, membership structures are different — and the annual cost factors into total cost of ownership.
Resale Performance
Golf frontage in Heathrow and Alaqua Lakes has consistently outperformed interior lots in the same communities during both flat and rising markets. The premium isn't just about today — it's about what you recover when you sell.
Golf Course Positions Require Someone Who Knows the Course.
Which holes have the best views. Which lots bake in the afternoon. Which fairway positions get cart path noise at 7am. You don't learn these things from MLS listings — you learn them from being here.
