Umatilla sits at the northern edge of Lake County, a quiet town of lakes and rolling citrus country on the doorstep of the Ocala National Forest. Life here leans rural and unhurried — you'll find waterfront homes along the chain of lakes, working farms, and pockets of newer subdivisions like Magnolia Pointe. Downtown Orlando is about 66 minutes away, close enough for a commute but far enough to keep the pace slow.

For buyers, the market is approachable by Central Florida standards. There are 79 active listings with a median list price of $340,000, and homes are taking a median of 58 days to sell — enough breathing room to negotiate. With 22 new construction listings and options that stretch from the low $30,000s into the millions, you can browse by price across a genuinely wide range.

Umatilla is in Lake County, Florida.
