About Us
Two fabulous addresses, one fabulous lakefront lifestyle just 17 miles south of Orlando's attraction belt. Twin communities steeped in natural beauty and water-oriented elegance, AV Homes' twin award-winning lakefront communities of Bellalago and Isles of Bellalago combine classic Mediterranean textures with the Old Florida lifestyle. The community tone is defined by beautiful designer homes with tile roofs, neighborhood parks, and heavily wooded nature preserves with century-old oak hammocks. Sparkling lakes and a wealth of resort-style recreational amenities complete the picture.
Then there's the real star attraction: over a mile of shoreline on beautiful, world-famous Lake Tohopekaliga (aka "Lake Toho") including a 1,300-ft boardwalk with gazebo. The boat ramp/lift handles powerboats and residents enjoy access to over 300 acres of inland lakes and waterways for fishing and boating. Community amenities include a pair of multi-million-dollar clubhouses with state-of-the-art fitness centers, multi-pool aquatic centers, children's water parks and tot lots, tennis and basketball courts, a band shell, and walking and biking trails to explore.
Demographics
The Bellalago Beacon is a quarterly newsletter publication beginning in 2024 (formerly a bi-monthly publication) with distribution throughout Bellalago and Isles of Bellalago to the residents via U.S. Mail (over 2,500 homes). The publication is also distributed at both Amenity Centers, through community wide email blasts, and on the BellalagoHOA.com website, as well as to potential residents in the New Home Sales Center. The newsletter includes community and HOA updates, department articles, upcoming community events, useful community information such as facility phone numbers and hours of operation, and relevant featured articles to engage residents on several levels.
