Lake Haven

(July 2009) Lake Haven is not far from the hotel where we stayed in Dunedin, FL. We can’t say enough nice things about the charming community of Dunedin, and we enjoyed our stay there immensely including the Holiday Inn Express. Lake Haven is in eastern Dunedin and is a very clean and well kept 55+ manufactured home park. All homes have at least a small back yard, and some back up to dense foliage. There are 3 clubhouses with pools in different areas of park, remarkable for a park with less than 400 homes. Fitness, fishing, shuffleboard, games and picnic areas are among the amenities, but best of all are the lakefront homes. The lake views are very nice indeed.

In spite of the fact the community has been around for over 40 years, the homes are in great condition. Although there are almost as many single-wide homes as doubles, the single-wides have add-ons and are quite nice. There are lots available for new homes, and new homes are for sale in the $50k – $100k range. Resales are available in the $5k to $50k range. Fees for land lease and maintenance are $572 – $615 with lake fronts running the highest. The fee covers land lease, water, sewer, trash, lawn care, amenities and facility upkeep.
