Buying or Selling Near Lake Clarice
On Lake Clarice Drive, Clarice Estates Drive and Clarice Court, Estates at Lake Clarice homes for sale are large pool homes, most built from 2006 to 2009, with newer ones added since. Searches for Lake Clarice, Windermere, usually mean these two plats. Tildens Grove, under a mile away, and Lake Davis Reserve are useful comparisons.
What the County Record Shows
County records show 27 homes built from 2006 to 2025; two-thirds were built from 2006 to 2009, and seven have been built since 2015. The typical home has 4,579 square feet on a 0.81-acre lot. Twenty-six homes have pools and 19 carry a homestead exemption. Lake Clarice itself is small, about 5 acres on county hydrology maps, below the 10-acre threshold we use for lakefront counts, so we confirm on the survey whether a lot actually reaches the water.
- Estates at Lake Clarice: 20 homes, median lot 0.94 acres, median $1,473,285, about $317 per square foot of living area.
- Lake Clarice Plantation: 7 homes on lots of about 0.8 acres, assessed about a quarter below the Estates plat.
Same House Size, Different Value
Because the two plats' houses match in size, the gap comes from somewhere else: lot size, build year, finishes and what each home has had done. The Estates plat also includes six of the seven homes built since 2015. Our agents compare a Lake Clarice home with sales from its own plat first, then explain any cross-plat comparison item by item, so a Plantation buyer isn't paying an Estates price, or a seller leaving money behind.
Checks for Homes From the Late 2000s
Many original roofs and air-conditioning systems are now close to 20 years old. We ask for their dates, help you get inspections and insurance quotes early, and read the association documents with you.

The Own Luxury Homes® Perspective
Around Lake Clarice, two homes of the same size can differ by nearly a third in value.
The Estates at Lake Clarice plat and the Lake Clarice Plantation plat have nearly identical median house sizes, about 4,580 square feet, but the Estates plat is assessed nearly a third higher than the Plantation plat on the 2026 tax roll. Lot size, build year and condition, not square footage, make up the difference.
At Lake Clarice, the plat a home is on tells you more about its value than its size does. Compare within the plat first, and treat any cross-plat comparison as needing an explanation.
