Leesburg Real Estate

  Leesburg is a city that is just about dead center in Florida. It was known for its watermelons, and ever year visitors and residents are treated to the Watermelon Festival. Citrus fruits grew in place of watermelons, but freezes drove growers further south. Now Leesburg is known as a great destination for retirees, and growth has been bolstered by the expansion of the Orlando area and suburbs. 

  The downtown area of Leesburg is a quaint, historic sight, with lots of historic structures and features. Restaurants and shops have the same flavor, and there is a great choice of antique stores to add to the old-time ambience. The local Leesburg Partnership is dedicated to preserving the flavor and heritage of Leesburg, and due to the efforts of the partnership it was designated a Florida Main Street City in 1994.

 The Leesburg Partnership now sponsors many events and festivals designed to celebrate old Leesburg, such as a Mardi Gras celebration, a Main StreetChristmas Stroll and Parade, A bikefest , and many others. Leesburg also has a strong Recreation and Parks department, which also sponsors events. In addition, there are many recreational facilities and programs available to residents, such as baseball, football, and soccer fields, as well as court sports and more.
