    "Great Schools. Lake Life is a fun life for kids fishing, boating etc. Close to all of Central Florida Amusement Parks, but you don’t need to go. Great parks, many festivals. Stage and Movie theaters. Natural springs, National Forrest. A real small town feeling with a real downtown. Friday night lights, sports & scouts. Diverse selection of houses of faith. "

    "Great place to live! Very family friendly. Definitely need a car if you want to get anywhere, no public transit available. Definitely more rural than urban so be aware for those moving from large cities. This is a home town feel where your neighbors say hello and everyone is friendly. Better for families with children or older couples looking for peace and quiet."
