Pops Grove
Homes for Sale in Howey in the Hills, FL
True comps, carrying-cost math, and listings before the portals.
Pops Grove is a small pool of 83 homes, and that alone shapes how it trades — with inventory this limited, a handful of listings can swing the feel of the market in either direction. The year-built range runs from 1923 to 2023, but the median build year of 1999 tells you the core of the community is closer to a century-turn build era than either the oldest or newest edges suggest. Condition and updating will vary widely across that span, which means buyers need to evaluate each home on its own rather than assume a uniform product.
The homestead share sits at 76.5%, a strong signal that most of these homes are owner-occupied rather than held as investment or rental stock. That tends to correlate with steadier upkeep and fewer homes cycling through as flips, but it also means listings can be less frequent — sellers here aren't moving in volume, and buyers should expect to wait for the right listing rather than choose from a deep shelf.
The 60-Second Overview
Pops Grove is a modest-sized enclave in Howey In The Hills where home vintage spans a full century, but the typical property lands right around the turn of the millennium with a living area near 1,848 square feet.
Pre-construction details are compiled from public records, builder announcements and builder listings, and are subject to change without notice; figures are deemed reliable but not guaranteed.

Who Pops Grove is best for.
Best for
- Buyers prioritizing a specific home and setting over community amenities
- Buyers comfortable evaluating condition and updates on a case-by-case basis given the wide build-year range
- Buyers seeking a mid-size home (near 1,848 sq ft) in Lake County with a largely owner-occupied surrounding market
Probably not for
- Buyers who want a clubhouse, pool, or organized amenity package as part of the purchase
- Buyers who need a large, active resale market with frequent listing turnover
- Buyers who want uniform construction era or floor plan across the community

The Pops Grove buying strategy.
If we were buying in Pops Grove today, this is the order of operations we would run for our clients.
Underwrite the condition first. Price the roof, HVAC, and systems honestly before judging any list price; condition swings value here more than square footage alone.
Match the home to real comps. Recent sales of similar condition and lot, not the asking price, tell you what a home is worth.
Move deliberately, not desperately. Neither side has a decisive edge, so a well-prepared, fairly-priced offer wins without overpaying.
Line up financing and inspection early. A pre-approval and an inspection plan let you act fast and negotiate from evidence.
Keep an agent in your corner. The listing agent works for the seller; we represent you and prepare a hand-built valuation before any offer in Pops Grove.
A Century of Builds, One Small Market
With only 83 homes total, Pops Grove isn't a subdivision with rows of comparable floor plans — it's a mixed-vintage collection where a 1920s-era home can sit within the same community as a home built in the 2020s. That spread matters most at resale and inspection: buyers should expect meaningfully different systems, construction methods, and update histories depending on where a given home falls on that timeline, and appraisals or comps will need to account for it rather than average it away.
No community amenities are identified in current MLS listings, which suggests this is a community valued for the homes and the setting in Howey In The Hills rather than for a clubhouse, pool, or organized recreation package. Buyers looking for an amenity-driven HOA lifestyle should look elsewhere; buyers looking for a Lake County address with substantial owner-occupancy and a mid-size living footprint (median 1,848 sq ft) will find the profile fits.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Pops Grove. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
