Originally, in the 1960's, Larry Cameron founded Cameron Park. During the early years Cameron Park Subdivisions of vacant lots were created and sold, and over the last 60 years homes have been built on these lots, thus you will see new homes built next to older homes making Cameron Park a unique and beautiful community. Later in the development of Cameron Park many areas were developed by builders as tract homes that met the needs of people wanting to live in Cameron Park. And there are several commercial shopping centers, medical facilities, offices and labs.
For the parcels created that back up to the Cameron Park Lake, you will find a variety of homes, condos and townhomes, built over many years, which again fits into the uniqueness of Cameron Park.
