This once-quiet town, known for years for its citrus groves, is now an upscale residential community with well-maintained parks and recreational facilities. It’s one of the fastest-growing areas of Central Florida, located near Interstate 4 along the burgeoning high-tech business center near Heathrow.

City leaders take pride in Lake Mary’s well-planned residential communities, excellent schools, a variety of shopping and prominent businesses. The crime rate is one of the lowest in Florida, a contributing factor to the city’s attraction of many corporate office relocations and light manufacturing operations.

Lake Mary continues to actively develop a city-wide park system for its citizens. A sports and recreation complex provides for baseball, softball, soccer, basketball and open playing fields. The naturally beautiful Liberty Park has large picnic pavilions, trails, playgrounds, boardwalks and a fishing dock. In Central Park, residents enjoy local shows and professional entertainment at the amphitheater.

Moderate, master-planned neighborhoods offer single and multi-family homes. Modestly priced modular housing for seniors can be found at The Forest. Executive homes exist in communities such as Wingfield Reserve and Alaqua. For those looking toward retirement, there are upscale golf course communities and active retirement communities all within a few minutes’ drive of the city center.

Lake Mary offers all the conveniences of Orlando without the traffic. It’s still small-town Florida, but with a big-town point of view.
