1162 Carmel Cir

Carmel by the Lake is a low-rise gated condominium community built in 1984 and arranged in four-story residential buildings with elevator access. Units are predominantly two-bedroom, two-bath layouts with open or split-floor plans, eat-in kitchens, and combined living/dining spaces; many units include inside laundry hookups, walk-in closets, solid wood cabinetry, and ceiling fans. Exterior character emphasizes lakefront and wooded conservation views, with screened or covered balconies and sliding-glass doors that connect interiors to outdoor sightlines. Shared-site amenities are extensive and resort-like: a large community pool and spa, clubhouse, private boat ramp and docks on Lake Howell, tennis and racquetball courts (and often pickleball), walking paths through landscaped grounds, storage closets and assigned covered parking or carports. The association typically covers water, sewer, cable/internet, exterior maintenance and grounds upkeep. Pet policies vary by building but many listings indicate pets are allowed; the complex is gated and provides guest parking. Located in Casselberry near Winter Park and Orlando, the community offers a suburban setting with convenient access to shopping, dining, major roadways, and regional employers while preserving a quiet, lakeside lifestyle.
