Spacious homes along the rolling fairways

Royal Lakes’s homes sit in full view of the courses’ rolling fairways and sparkling ponds. “Lots are pretty big here, plus there are lots of trees and plenty of privacy. Overall, it’s a great community,” says Trey Bell, Owner of Bell Real Estate Group with over 10 years of real estate experience. Half of the neighborhood’s houses were built in the 1990s, while the other half were built in the early 2000s. Architectural styles range from brick ranch-style and Craftsman homes to spacious New Traditional and custom style mansions. Homebuyers have multiple options for club membership. Social memberships provide limited access to the golf course and clubhouse but give full access to the tennis courts and pool. Alternatively, full access offers unlimited access to the golf course and other amenities. Royal Lakes’ average home values rank higher than the Gainesville and the national average home values. Prices range from $450,000 to $1 million, with homes larger than 3,000 square feet priced higher than others.
