All About

Living in Lake Mary, FL

Ranked among the Best Places to Live in the US by CNN's Money in 2008, Lake Mary is a great place to find your next apartment. In a location north of Orlando, Lake Mary offers residents a suburban feel with proximity to big city amenities.

There are many places to shop around the Orlando metro area, but if you choose to live in Lake Mary apartments, you will be pleasantly close to Seminole Towne Center. Here you'll find five department stores as well as dozens of popular retail shops. The mall is also home to a ten screen movie theater. If all of that shopping and entertainment has you famished, Lake Mary is also home to some local restaurant favorites.

Enjoy not only a nice glass of wine and a unique dish, but also the atmosphere at Dexter's, found exclusively in three locations across the Orlando metro area. Or, meet friends for breakfast or a delicious entree at Delano on the Park, which was voted Best-kept Secret in Seminole County in 2008. But, if you are just looking for a delectable treat for your taste buds, pick up a few sweets at Cupcake Crazy to take back to your Lake Mary apartment.

Not everyone is a seasoned Lake Mary resident. If you are relocating to Lake Mary apartments from elsewhere in the country and would like to know more about your new city, try the Lake Mary Museum. Here you can explore exhibits and participate in special events reflecting the history and culture of the Lake Mary area. The building itself, constructed in the 1920's is even considered a National Historic Trust landmark.

Whether you are a long-time local or a brand new resident of Lake Mary apartments, begin your search for your new home on ApartmentGuide.com. Explore apartments for rent in Lake Mary and narrow your search to find an place that has all of the amenities that you desire.

What Renters Like and Dislike

What Renters Like and Dislike About Lake Mary

There are trees and a conservation area at the back so no crowded buildings and more green space. It is paved so we can walk around the neighborhood easily.

It's small quiet and safe, coffee and pizza and gas all walking distance along with shops, a park for kids and daycare for my son

I like being close to many stores and services. I also like the small town feel and that crime is low.

It's near 4 Publix 3 Walmart's 5 targets. I'm within 5 miles of 90 restaurants and 3 miles of the nearest shopping mall

There is a Publix at the entrance of our neighborhood. There is a hair salon and a Giovanni's restaurant nearby. There is also a park and multiple sporting venues.

It is a well cared for neighborhood. People take care of their homes and yards. We have wonderful neighbors.
