Blue Lake places you minutes from the heart of DeLand while keeping a peaceful, lakeside feel. Tree-lined streets and a mix of mid-century ranches and thoughtful new builds make everyday walks pleasant, and quick access to US‑17/92 and I‑4 via nearby Orange City streamlines commutes across Volusia County.
Education stands out here. Families appreciate proximity to Volusia County Schools’ resources, with neighborhood students served by the district’s programs and magnet offerings through Volusia County Schools. Just up the road, Stetson University energizes the area with lectures, concerts, and Division I athletics, adding college-town culture to daily life.
Weekends come easy: City parks host playgrounds, ponds, and festivals, and the historic core’s cafés, breweries, and galleries sit a short drive away. For outdoor escapes, paddle the St. Johns River from Hontoon Island or wander shaded trails and boardwalks at Hontoon Island State Park. Community services, special events, and recreation programs are easy to explore via the City of DeLand site, making it simple to plug in and stay informed.
Practicality matches the scenery: the DeLand Amtrak station, municipal airport, healthcare hubs, and a growing retail mix keep errands and travel straightforward. Whether you’re planning a first home or a right-size move, Blue Lake offers everyday convenience with a calm backdrop—and Agent Pronto can introduce you to a local expert to help you buy or sell with confidence.
