Cresswind at Lake Harris Reaches a Milestone
Kolter Homes marks one year of growth at Cresswind at Lake Harris, an active adult community in Tavares, Florida, offering new 55+ homes near the Harris Chain of Lakes with planned amenities and future lake access.
One Year of Growth in Lake County
Cresswind at Lake Harris is celebrating its first anniversary, marking one year since the active adult community welcomed its initial homeowners to Lake County. Developed by Kolter Homes, the neighborhood represents the company’s first 55+ community in Lake County and one of three active adult communities in the greater Orlando and Central Florida region.
Over the past year, Cresswind at Lake Harris has become part of the growing landscape of new homes for sale in Central Florida, offering homebuyers modern home design, planned amenities, and access to the region’s extensive waterways.
A Lakeside Setting in America’s Seaplane City
Located in Tavares, Florida, widely known as “America’s Seaplane City”, Cresswind at Lake Harris sits along the shores of Lake Harris, part of the Harris Chain of Lakes. These interconnected waterways provide boating access to restaurants, waterfront destinations, and other highlights throughout Central Florida.
Downtown Tavares lies on nearby Lake Dora and is home to the Dora Canal, often recognized as one of Florida’s most scenic waterways. The community’s central location places it approximately 45 minutes northwest of Orlando, keeping major healthcare networks, employment centers, and cultural attractions within reach while preserving the character of a lakeside town.
Flexible Home Options for Today’s Buyers
As one of Kolter Homes’ new home communities in Central Florida, Cresswind at Lake Harris offers both to-be-built homes and move-in ready homes. To-be-built homes start in the $300s, with select floorplans offering up to 37 structural options to help homeowners personalize their residence. Move-in ready homes provide an option for those seeking a shorter move-in timeline.
Planned Amenities and What’s Next
The community is planned to include a range of resident-exclusive amenities designed to support active adult living. A future clubhouse will serve as the hub for indoor amenities, including a fitness center powered by EGYM smart fitness technology and a traditional fitness center.
Planned outdoor amenities include a resort-style pool with sundeck and spa, eight pickleball courts, and two tennis courts, among other features.
The community is preparing to reach another key milestone with the planned groundbreaking of the future clubhouse scheduled for March, marking the next step in delivering the lifestyle amenities envisioned for residents.
Future Lake Access and Resident Programming
Cresswind at Lake Harris is also planned to offer resident-exclusive lake access and a shared dock with boat slips available for lease. The community dock is anticipated to open in approximately two years, adding another way for residents to enjoy life on the Harris Chain of Lakes.
A full-time lifestyle director is planned to support resident programming, clubs, and community-led activities, helping bring neighbors together through events, interests, and everyday connections.
