Lake Como offers a laid-back, lakeside lifestyle where morning fog lifts off the water and evenings end with pastel sunsets over cypress and pine. Tucked in southern Putnam County, this pocket of natural Florida sits between the St. Johns River and broad-water gems like Crescent Lake, putting fishing, boating, and birding on the everyday menu. Outdoor lovers can launch kayaks into the tannin-stained creeks feeding into Dunns Creek and explore miles of trails, then trade the woods for a waterfront lunch just up the road in Welaka or a produce run in nearby Crescent City.
Weekends often revolve around the water and the woods. Paddlers and anglers gravitate to Dunns Creek State Park, while hikers and off-road enthusiasts head for the sandpines and springs of the Ocala National Forest. Families appreciate the tight-knit scale of the area, with academics supported by the Putnam County School District and zoned options that include Crescent City Jr/Sr High. For continuing education, St. Johns River State College’s Palatka campus expands opportunities close to home.
You’ll find a mix of classic cottages, roomy parcels, and waterfront hideaways, plus quiet roads where neighbors wave and local wildlife regularly steals the show. Whether you’re relocating for year-round serenity or seeking a weekend retreat, Agent Pronto can connect buyers and sellers with top local real estate agents who know Lake Como inside and out.
