Seminole County · Central Florida
Lake Mary combines a small downtown and well-maintained parks with one of the region's busiest office corridors. For many buyers, it offers a balance of convenience and calm.
As a Seminole County local, Jennifer knows Lake Mary's neighborhoods well — from established areas near the lakes to newer communities close to shopping and offices.
Housing ranges from single-family homes in established subdivisions to golf and lakefront communities, plus townhomes and apartments near the business district. Many neighborhoods have homeowners associations, so reviewing HOA rules and fees is an important part of the buying process.
Lake Mary and neighboring Heathrow host numerous corporate and regional offices along the I-4 and Lake Mary Boulevard area. The city also has a SunRail station. Living here can shorten a Seminole County commute considerably, while trips to downtown Orlando or south Orange County depend on I-4 traffic.
