How Can South Lake Living Help You?

Moving is hard.
And regardless of where you fall in that process—thinking about it, researching online, buying a new home, or selling your current one—you’ve come to the right place.

It can be overwhelming to piece together all the facts about an area. And THEN, try to make a judgment on what it would be like to live there.

That’s why at South Lake Living we’re always working to give you the most up-to-date information on the details that matter.

We do this through fantastic video footage—painting a true-to-life visual story about the 5 cities that make up Florida’s South Lake area. Plus we cover a few other great Orlando suburbs that we believe provide the exceptional lifestyle many families crave.

Additionally, we create helpful articles that give you all the tips, tactics, and current information you need to make the best decisions and point you toward a smooth transition.

Are you curious about available properties? We’ve got you covered.

Finally, if you’re ready to find that dream home OR sell an existing home, our very own Jamie Bevelacqua—South Lake Living’s host and realtor—is prepared with the expertise you need to get the results you want.

We often see the most beautiful sunsets here in South Lake County Florida. We live in paradise.
