On behalf of the residents, business, and the City of Eustis, the Eustis Area Chamber of Commerce welcomes you to a uniquely beautiful community. Rich in history, with a promising future, Eustis is ideally located in the heart of central Florida. Nestled along the eastern shore of Lake Eustis, the 7,000 acre lake provides a picturesque background for the diversified community, where small town friendliness is not a thing of the past. With a population of over 19,129, according to census of 2008, Eustis is large enough to offer most big city amenities, yet is small enough to retain its small town charm. Eustis offers complete facilities for its citizens and visitors and a variety of recreational and educational opportunities. The historical downtown and outlaying areas continue to grow economically. There is an excellent hospital, several updated parks and recreation areas, new restaurants, and many other exciting improvements ongoing in Eustis and the surrounding area. Conveniently situated midway between Orlando, Daytona and Ocala, a commuting distance of an hour will take you to major theme parks and airports, as well as to either coast. Nearby access to Interstates 4 and 75 and US Hwy. 27 provide easy access to other areas in Florida and beyond.
