Live Oaks, Hundreds Of Years Old
The shady tree-lined streets are one of the most attractive features of Harbor Acres and you’ll find tall waving palms standing side by side with huge Southern Live Oaks which are hundreds of years old. Buyers here are proud of these old trees and have been very careful to preserve them when replacing older homes with newer ones.
