Lake County Multi-Family Investment Opportunities

Lake County is emerging as one of Central Florida's fastest-growing multi-family markets, driven by affordability migration from Orange and Seminole counties and major infrastructure improvements.

Growth Drivers

• 429 Wekiva Parkway completion improving connectivity to Orlando
• Significant single-family price gap creating rental demand
• Healthcare and retail development in Clermont and Mount Dora
• Population growth of 3.2% annually, outpacing state average

Cap Rates & Returns

Multi-family cap rates in Lake County average 5.8-6.5%, approximately 50-75 basis points higher than comparable Orange County properties. Two-to-four unit properties offer particularly attractive returns for small investors entering the multi-family space.

Development Pipeline

Over 2,500 new multi-family units are in various stages of planning and development, primarily concentrated in Clermont, Leesburg, and the Mount Dora area. This new supply will be absorbed over the next 3-5 years given current demand trends.
