LAKE VIEW HEIGHTS (FRUITLAND PARK, FL): 7 recorded closings in the 12 months ending 2026-08-02, an 8-year price record, and sales split by price band and home size — every number from recorded MLS closings, none from an estimate model.
In the current window, sellers accepted a median 86.7% of original asking; the median sale took 89 days; new construction was 28.6% of recorded sales — builder pricing competes with resales here (window ending 2026-08-02).

Over the recorded series, LAKE VIEW HEIGHTS’s median sold price moved from $35,000 (2016) to $195,000 (12 months ending 2026-08-02) — +457% over that span, with every year’s figure from recorded closings, not a model.
The recorded series starts in 2016 at $35,000. Annual sales volume here has ranged from 0 to 8 closings a year (10-yr average 4.4). With roughly 4.4 closings a year, LAKE VIEW HEIGHTS’s medians move in steps, not curves — a handful of unusual sales can swing a year, which is why the sales count sits next to every figure above.
What actually trades here: 48% single-family residence, 26% manufactured home - post 1977, 16% mobile home - pre 1976, 7% manufactured home, 3% mobile home, with a median of 1,452 sq ft and a median price per square foot of $149 in the current window.
Of the 19 recorded LAKE VIEW HEIGHTS closings since 2024, half landed between $84,915 and $214,950 (the middle two quartiles); the lowest recorded sale was $40,000 and the highest $300,000. If your home sits outside the middle band, the reason usually shows up in the size table below before it shows up in condition.

The same recorded closings, split into thirds by living area. Find the row your home falls in: the $/sqft figure times your square footage is the recorded-sales bracket for homes like yours here — a starting range from real closings, not a valuation of your specific property. Larger homes here have been selling at a higher price per square foot than smaller ones ($143 vs $91) — less common, and usually a sign of newer or upgraded product at the top of the range.
| Size group | Median $/sqft | Median sold | Sold range | Sales |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Smaller homes 897–1,014 sq ft | $91 | $84,915 | $60,000 – $191,400 | 6 |
| Mid-size homes 1,080–1,452 sq ft | $104 | $131,000 | $60,000 – $300,000 | 6 |
| Larger homes 1,464–2,313 sq ft | $143 | $219,900 | $40,000 – $269,000 | 7 |

At LAKE VIEW HEIGHTS’s $195,000 median and Lake County’s adopted 16.65 mills (FY2025-26), a home assessed at that price carries roughly $3,250 a year in property tax before exemptions, or about $2,580 with the full Florida homestead exemption — a buyer’s first-year figure; a long-time owner’s Save Our Homes cap can be far lower, which is one reason resale taxes jump at closing. Municipal and special-district millage varies inside the county; see the Lake County tax page.
Current asking prices run a median $499,000 against the $195,000 recorded sold median (+156%) — the gap between what sellers hope and what the record shows. The market is carrying about 6 months of supply at the current sales pace. Demand check: 0% of LAKE VIEW HEIGHTS’s listings are under contract, against 23% for ZIP 32159 and 26% for Lake County as a whole — the community is currently absorbing slower than its surroundings, which is negotiating information. Since 2004, 49 LAKE VIEW HEIGHTS listings were withdrawn, canceled, or expired without selling (1 so far in 2026) — overpricing is the recurring cause statewide. Over the recorded years, an average of 45% of LAKE VIEW HEIGHTS listings ended without selling (withdrawn/canceled/expired); in 2026 that rate was 20%. Momentum’s market-heat index for LAKE VIEW HEIGHTS reads 43/100 (computed from DOM, sale-to-list, and absorption; 2020–21 peaked in the 70s here).
Cash bought 62% of recorded LAKE VIEW HEIGHTS sales in the window ending 2026-06 (5 of 8) — a fact worth knowing before assuming every buyer needs an appraisal to close. With asking prices running +156% over the recorded sold median, a LAKE VIEW HEIGHTS listing priced against the closed record above stands out against its competition; one priced against the asking crowd joins the statewide list of homes that never sold.
