A Lake Mary suburb surrounded bv outdoor recreation

Surrounded by lakes, state parks, a vast trail system and nature preserves, Central Florida’s Greenwood Lakes suburb puts outdoor recreation at residents’ fingertips. "This area is all about the outdoor lifestyle," says Dawn Taylor, Realtor with Coldwell Banker with over 18 years of experience in the Orlando area. "There are so many opportunities for water activities, and a lot of life is returning to the area." Greenwood Lakes is located in Lake Mary, a city ranked by Niche as the fourth-best suburb to live in Orlando, and one of the best places to live in the country by CNN Money Magazine. Beyond its outdoor offerings, Greenwood Lakes offers a top-notch school district, sits 4 miles south of the vibrant downtown Lake Mary district and is under 20 miles from the attraction-rich Orlando. This combination provides a unique blend of suburban living with a country feel, all while minutes from big-city amenities.
