Where We Are
Heartland Estates
is an Age 55+ manufactured housing community, nestled on a
ridge, overlooking Lake Hester in central Florida. Our community
is about one-half mile west of U.S. 27, the principle north-south
artery through Florida, and about 8 miles south of I-4. Heartland
Estates is in the middle of the Florida peninsula.
The Landscape
Citrus, palm and
oak trees with flowering plants and ornate shrubs decorate
the grounds. When entering our community, greeting you will
be our landscaped boulevard, waterfalls and sabal palms. Flag
Island overlooks Lake Hester and the recreation complex.
Lake Hester, approximately four acres in
size, with its wildlife provides a picturesque scene from
the sundeck of our swimming pool. Bass, crappies, and bluegills
can be caught from the shore or from a small boat, which can
be launched directly from the bank. Easy access exists from
the clubhouse to Lake Hester for strolling, relaxing, jogging,
or carefree fishing along the shoreline.
