Good Grief...

Orlando is a beautiful city and not all of us think it is so horrible. Based on the crime stats looks like you will be in a much safer area than OH. We have some fantastic neighborhoods and some that have basically no crime as well. It is so easy to find people what they want from a home perspective.
Here are some things I look at when searching for areas that my clients will like.
1) what type of community they like
2) leisure activities
3) price goals
4) importance of schools
5) I assume safety is always on the list
6) type of dwelling - home, condo, age of homes, features - land, pool, gated....
7) vicinity of work

Once a person has an idea of those things it is easy to find a place they can call home. There are so many great areas here to chose from. We have one for you too.... and no snow shoveling in the winter :-)

Isn't Lake Mary, FL ranked number 4 on the CNN Money's best places to live? I visited, and couldn't find anything wrong with it, but I'm sure there's some story on here about giant flying roaches and fire ants invading gated communities.


However, the hurricane threat in the Orlando area is real. As we're seeing with Fay, inland Florida isn't doing much to weaken them

Hurricane threats are real everywhere in Florida. I'm in Longwood, just down the road from Lake Mary. We've had more rain in the last few days than in the last year. I live on a lake, it's up quite a bid but we have no flooding. Every area of the country has weather issues. At least with hurricanes, we get plenty of notice that one may come and have more than ample time to prepare.

Lake Mary is a lovely community with lots of housing, shopping, doctors, dentists, eateries, and it's a pretty convenient location.

I really enjoy living in Seminole County!
