Natural beauty. All around.
It’s easy to see why every year, so many of us opt to head south. A few minutes on-site and you’ll get it, too. Of course, most of our residents called Florida home long before taking up residence here at Countryside Lakes. We’re situated next to the neighborhood Country Club on just under 7 beautiful acres. So wander and discover. Bring a fishing pole, a friend, or just your thoughts. Our property also offers a year-round swimming pool, a putting green, ample outdoor seating, a pond-side dock and gardening opportunities.
Welcome to your happy (and healthy) place.
Skip the crowds. We have everything you need.
“We would rather go to Chef’s Table at CountrySide Lakes than any other place in Volusia county.”
– Bailey Lewis

We’re also big fans of lunch, dinner, and everything in between. Oh, and did we mention Happy Hour?
Our chefs serve up happiness 24/7 with a simple promise: Eat where you want, when you want.
This is your home. So treat it that way. Invite your friends and family! Let our in-house concierge reserve your next night out with the gang right here at home.

Our Pup.
This little girl can’t wait to welcome you home, go for long walks, or just curl up in the Florida sunshine.
Our friendly pup, Bella, loves spending her days “working” throughout our community – from cheerful doorman to cuddly bedmate. She gives us all some exercise, too – especially during Visits with Bella. She loves playing fetch with a stick, romping around our grounds, posing for photos, and showing off her manners.
Have you had your fix today? Come out for some backyard playtime!
There’s nothing quite like the unconditional love of an animal. Pets make humans feel good. It’s that simple. For the elderly, the results are even more astounding: lower cholesterol levels, less depression, and potential protection against heart disease and stroke. Not to mention that walking, grooming, and engaging in specialty activities with this little pup is far more fun than your traditional therapy workout.
“Best place to live and play.”
– Les Frank
