Mount Dora, Florida is a historic lakeside city in central Lake County known for its small-town charm and year-round festivals. Sitting on a plateau about 184?feet above sea level, it overlooks Lake Dora and forms part of the Orlando–Kissimmee–Sanford metropolitan area. The population was roughly 16?341 in 2020. Downtown streets are lined with antique shops, cafés and inns, and the city embraces its nickname as a “Festival City” through art fairs, craft shows and holiday celebrations.
History and geography
Mount Dora evolved from an 1870s settlement called Royellou into a chartered town in 1910. Early leaders like John P. Donnelly donated land for parks and built the iconic Donnelly House, while the Lakeside Inn (opened 1883) welcomed winter guests. The arrival of the railroad in 1887 and road improvements in the 1920s spurred growth. Today the city covers about 9.2?square miles, including 1.2?square miles of water. Its humid subtropical climate brings hot summers and mild winters. Afternoon downpours and tropical storms can raise lake levels and send water into low-lying rooms. Homeowners turn to water damage restoration professionals to extract water, dry walls and prevent mold. Installing sump pumps and maintaining drainage systems reduces risk.
Parks and culture
Gilbert Park offers pavilions, barbecue grills and an expanded “Wood Wonderland” playground. Annie Donnelly Park hosts the annual tree-lighting ceremony and provides a fountain, shuffleboard and pickleball courts. Grantham Point, sometimes called “Lighthouse Park,” features a 35-foot lighthouse guiding boaters on Lake Dora. These parks, along with nature preserves managed by the Lake County Water Authority, are popular spots for picnics and festivals. Because they border the lake, they occasionally require water damage restoration to recover from flooding or fire damage restoration after lightning strikes.
Mount Dora’s downtown historic district boasts hundreds of structures from the late 19th century. The Mount Dora History Museum showcases the town’s early firehouse and jail, while the Modernism Museum and Mount Dora Center for the Arts offer exhibits and classes. Antique shops, bed-and-breakfasts and cafés draw tourists who come for art festivals, plant fairs and classic car shows. Many buildings have wooden frames and aging wiring, increasing fire risk. When blazes occur, fire damage restoration crews remove charred debris, clean soot and rebuild damaged sections to modern codes.
Community and resilience
Residents of Mount Dora take pride in their city’s lively arts scene and friendly vibe. Neighborhood associations host porch parties and cleanup days. The city distributes hurricane guides and organizes fire-safety workshops. By investing in preventive maintenance—cleaning gutters, trimming vegetation, updating electrical systems—and partnering with local water damage restoration and fire damage restoration teams, homeowners and businesses protect historic properties. This blend of preservation and preparedness ensures that Mount Dora remains a picturesque retreat and cultural hub along Lake Dora.

customers are saying
The SERVPRO team did an amazing job cleaning my carpets.
Dave and Tobias came after my silly mistake 9f leaving an unattended hose filling a spa in my Florida room. They were professional and courteous. They are the best and considering this was at 8:30 on a Saturday night can't say how grateful and pleased I am to them and SERVPRO I hope I never need them again but if I do they will definitely be who I rely on. Thanks again
From the moment the people came out to take a look at the mold problem in my home it has been a pleasure they are a great company to work with very educated about mold problems and explain in a way that a lay person can understand. Everyone at this company from Mike the man that came out to do the estimate down to the three guys that came and did the cleaning of the floors it's been an awesome experience. I highly recommend this company to anyone and everyone you will not be disappointed!
Thank you for being so prompt, professional and knowledgeable to take care of the water issue that occurred in my home.
Dave and Tobias were awesome. Very professional and prompt very respectful and courteous they did a great job seeing that everything was dry and taken care of.
SERVPRO of Lake County, FANTASTIC!!! They were always on time, polite, clean and kind. We called when we flooded and they responded quickly. They stopped the water damage from spreading further and dried EVERYTHING faster than I thought was possible. They used dehumidifiers, fans, etc. and other methods to thoroughly fix our "disaster" and give piece-of-mind to our family. The stayed long enough and used all the equipment needed for as long as it was needed. They constantly checked the moisture levels in the rooms of the house to ensure the floors and walls were completely dry and mold-free. I would recommend SERVPRO to anyone needing assistance in a similar situation. Nothing but praise for them. Thank you, SERVPRO. You saved my mom's home
