"Funny you should ask about Crystal Lake - we just closed on our house in the Lake Hollingsworth area, and I was getting new locks on our door. I asked the locksmith about our neighborhood and he said it was very safe, so I asked about the BAD area and he mentioned Crystal Lake! So I would stay away from that area! Overall, Lakeland is a very safe and beautiful city, but another area that looks rough is up there north of downtown near the hospital. Personally I love the South side are where we bought - very convenient and charming.
I would recommend checking out the online paper, the Ledger, and each week they publish the crime map - you can see where the bulk of the crimes occur. Here is the link to their main page".


Does anyone have any additional information/comments (Community, housing etc.) on Crystal Lakes, which is a sub-division of Ocala? Any additional information would be appreciated.
My post was about Crystal Lake in Lakeland, not Ocala. I assume there are many areas with the same name.

Default Sane and Rational Homeowner Economics...

A nationally recognized mortgage broker instructor told me that two and a half times your annual income is the amount of home you can afford.

We have gone from cashing in on the appreciation, to annuity status (appreciation minus taxes and insurances the years we lived there) to being stuck in what was once a piggy bank and getting a reverse mortgage until we die.

At present, better not to believe the lies real estate sales people tell us. It IS cheaper to rent!
