Living in Lake Mary
Where Central Florida works and lives well
Lake Mary is an incorporated city in Seminole County, north of Orlando along Interstate 4. Its office corridor is home to regional and national headquarters, which makes it a natural choice for executives and professionals who want a short commute and a polished, suburban setting.
Luxury buyers often focus on Heathrow, a guard-gated, master-planned community just outside the city limits with its own private country club, and on established neighborhoods near Timacuan’s golf course. Downtown Lake Mary and Colonial TownPark add walkable dining and shopping, and SunRail connects to Orlando.
