4 that this site covers: LECOM Park, Ed Smith Stadium, CoolToday Park, Nathan Benderson Park. They are split across both counties, and the practical distance between any two of them is larger than a map suggests, because this market runs about fifty miles north to south. If one of them is the reason you want to live somewhere in particular, that is worth saying out loud early rather than discovering the drive afterwards.
Less directly than waterfront or golf, and more than people expect. A preserve or a state park next door is a permanent boundary on development, which is worth something no listing quantifies: it is the difference between a protected view and a view that lasts until the next rezoning. Trail access behaves differently again, closer to a walkability premium. This site keeps the county sale figures on the community pages, so you can compare what homes actually sold for near one of these against the wider area rather than taking anyone word for it.
Tell me which one and I will send the communities genuinely close to it, with the county sale figures so you can see what being near it actually costs.
