Enjoy newer communities with beautiful views, landscaping, good restaurants and healthcare.

We thought about buying property in Lake Nona about a dozen years ago when we visited friends who had moved there. It was hardly developed, not much infrastructure, nothing much there. We didn't have the foresight to see what it would become. Now that we decided to downsize and leave Naples, we looked in Lake Nona. It was unaffordable (for us) so we ended up in TV.
We visit our friends there often. It has become an upscale city. There's lots of good restaurants, entertainment, modern medical facilities, and is so convenient to MCO. Boxi Park is very nice. Median age is much younger than TV; lots of kids and active young people. I feel it's getting overcrowded though, and traffic is getting bad. If I could afford it, I would live in Lake Nona, mainly because of proximity to airport, to Orlando, and to the theme parks (my wife loves Disney and she'd be there everyday if she could.) If I hit the lottery, forget Lake Nona, we would live in Golden Oak.
