Altamonte Springs is growing tremedously there with their new "Uptown" area. Very new shopping, traffic is herendous though on SR 436 and expect to pay good money for a home there. There is the Alt. Mall, too that is pretty nice. I personally like Alt. Springs very much but my budget is moving me to NC.

The traffic is bad but you get low crime and it's centrally located..Lots of shopping for just about anything you want(there are 8 Big shopping malls within 1/2 hour's drive)plus countless plazas.If you are looking for a place to buy let me know.
