Did you know that Lecanto can credit its history to the sport of golf? Developer and visionary Stan Olsen came to Lecanto and loved the nearby coastline, sand hills, huge oak trees, and spring-fed rivers (and, of course, the sunshine) and decided to build a golf course and community called the Black Diamond Ranch. The town of Lecanto quickly grew into a world-class beachside community.

Lecanto's history is deeply entrenched in the sport of golf. And, yes, one of the best golf courses in the entire country is located in the town. However, Lecanto is about so much more than a sport. This town has a breathtaking coastline and pristine beaches. Lecanto is also known as a popular place to live if you plan to commute to Tampa or Orlando for work or play. If you're looking for apartment rentals in a town that feels like a relaxing vacation destination -- but also offers access to some of the world's most exciting amenities and cities whenever you want -- then Lecanto might be just the place for you.
