"I lived in rosemont in 1983-1986. there was a country club over at the golf shop with a restaurant and tennis courts on lake Orlando. when we were looking for a home we avoided rosemont at first because of the "rumors" of crime but haven lived in college park and robbed several times as well as neighbors homes being broken into we thought we deserved to give Rosemont a chance. It has many of the things we liked about college park, the old oak tress like college park. it is close to downtown with quick access to i4 and east west. it is a perfect blend of country living with a hint of city. The homes built in the late 70's and 80 are unique and stylish and some are large. Not so large like arrogant in your face rich like isleworth or lake nona but more like a home not an "estate". Homes on the lake go for around 300k. where else can you live in a golf comuunity on the lake for that much? We did buy a home in north rosemont which is nice and we are seeing homes that were in disrepair being repaired and enhanced and have not seen or heard of any crime at all! However The downside to this whole community are the apartments which allow people to live there that have no regard for cleanliness, thus all the trash along the streets from people walking and not wanting to wait until the find a trash can or the cars driving by that throw there wrappers out of the window. Rosemont was THE place to live once before and can be again if more people came to appreciate the lake, golf course and the proximity to downtown as some of us are discovering. What is needed is for the shopping centers to be upgraded with nicer stores and restaurants. If that should happen the prices in this neighbor hood would double I believe. Rosemont was the first multi level community before celebration and before Baldwin park. it is a community that Orlando forgot and a great secret.... for now."
