Neighborhood Showcase – Lake Mary – Heathrow, Florida
Lake Mary is a wonderful neighborhood on the north side of Orlando. The community is perfectly situated for residents to enjoy the best of what central Florida has to offer: Disney World, Universal Studios, and some of the best golf courses in the world. For those days when the call of the sea is too strong to ignore, living in Lake Mary puts residents within an hour of the beaches on either the Atlantic coast, or the white sand on the Gulf.
Heathrow is a master planned community east of Lake Mary, past Interstate 4 and is bracketed by three golf and country clubs: the Legacy Club at Alaqua Lakes, the Magnolia Plantation Golf Club, and the Country Club at Heathrow. The Country Club is the centerpiece for the community, and many of the most desirable homes for sale in Heathrow have golf course frontage. Heathrow is an excellent choice for retired professionals or avid golf fans.
Like Heathrow, Magnolia Plantation is a planned community, but the focus of this Orlando neighborhood is on bringing nature to the big city. A David Harmon created golf course winds through the development, and is bordered by conservation areas. Homes for sale in Magnolia Plantation are set among fully mature oaks and pines, allow mid to upscale buyers to move into a newer home that has a sense of place and tradition.
Lake Forest is a smaller gated community north of Magnolia Plantation. Much of the real estate in Lake Forest consists of deluxe custom homes, many with lake frontage. Homes for sale in Lake Forest enter the market in the middle $400′s and trend upwards, with the highest prices reserved for homes on oversized lots.
Lake Mary Community Schools
The Lake Mary community is served by the Seminole County public schools system, which includes Crystal Lake Elementary, Lake Mary Elementary, Heathrow Elementary, Millennium Middle, Greenwood Lakes Middle, Seminole High and Lake Mary High. For older students, Lake Mary is home to Seminole Community College, Rollins College and Webster College. Lake Mary is also close to the University of Central Florida.
CNN Money ranked Lake Mary #4 on its list of top 100 places to live, citing big economy jobs, small town feel and no income taxas the community’s strengths. Major employers in the city include AT&T, Cingular Wireless, and Siemens Information and Communications Network.
