History
Betmar Realty Corp has been part of the park since its development
in the late sixties. Our service and expertise are dedicated
exclusively to current and future Betmar residents. Our goal is
to apply the experience earned over many years of service in the
park to each transaction in a professional manner that brings
satisfaction to all our sellers and buyers.
In
1966, Florida boasted four mobile home parks. Seizing an
opportunity, Mr. M.H. Meengs bought 200 acres of farmland along
Highway 54, including a caretaker's home, which is now our office
building.
Mr.
Meengs took George Sprinkle as a a partner and the men named the
park Betmar, for their wives, Betty and Mary, respectively and as
the demand grew, they purchased more land. Shortly after, 185
acres known as Lake Betmar Estates was added, 65 acres of
recreational land was acquired. Later, Betmar was bought by Betmar
Owners, Inc. which oversees activities, clubs, while Betmar Acres,
Inc. works with property and possessions. Beginning with one
clubhouse, shuffle court, and a three par golf course, Betmar has
grown to include three busy clubhouses, 24 shuffle courts, 3 par
3-4 executive golf courses.
