You and your guests will be able to take an easy day trip to Walt Disney World, Sea World, Daytona International Speedway, or Busch Gardens from your Central Florida home. Legacy is close to shopping and the city of Leesburg where there is an historic downtown district and a full calendar of events year round.

The resident owned Town Center with its 35-foot tall clock tower is the focal point of Legacy of Leesburg. This Town Center is where all of the indoor activities in the community take place.

There is an on-site activities director, trips, functions and many more amenities.

The residents of Legacy of Leesburg enjoy a lifestyle where nature and conservation are the emphasis. To protect the habitats of several rare species of animals including the Florida scrub jay, almost half of the 600 acres will remain undeveloped in its natural state. There are many conservation home sites, beautiful lakes, and several miles of nature trails bordering conservation areas and the Palatlakaha River. When completed this gated 55+ Florida active-adult community will have 999 homes.

From Orlando take the Florida Turnpike north to exit #285. Then turn right on Hwy. 27 and proceed north about 10 miles to the Legacy of Leesburg entrance on the right.

The Pringle community of Royal Harbor is located in Tavares on the shores of Little Lake Harris, one of the many lakes that comprise the largest chain of lakes in Florida. This waterfront gated 55+ active-adult community offers a lifestyle that has everything an active-adult would want including boating and fishing.

This picturesque community of 755 homes offers a beautiful recreation center with a heated swimming pool, computer room, social hall, fitness center, and a community fishing pier. An intranet system called NeighborLinks connects every resident in Royal Harbor as well as to the administrative staff.
