Winter Springs has n all: great schools,
plenty of parks, and, oh yeah, did we
mention the sunshine? But for several
years, this Orlando suburb lacked the one
key ingredient to make n great: a
downtown. Now, the Winter Springs Town
Center construction is underway. VVhen
completed, the 40G-acre mixed-use facility
will feature luxury condos, upscale shops,
and prime office space. VVhile the center
has had ns share of controversy, Movie Night at the Park
developers and town officials believe nos
the final piece in the puzzle to attract more people to settle in Winter Springs. -B.N.

k1~auJFlaI.Of 100
Population: 13,200
Median home price (2006): $321,173
Average property taxes (2005): $2,419
Pros: Big-economy jobs, small-town feel,
no income tax
Cons: Florida summers, Florida hurricanes
Lake Mary may be only 30 minutes from
Orlando and 45 from Daytona Beach, but
residents have plenty of shopping,
restaurants and events in their own
backyard. There are lakes for boating and
fishing, and the Timacuan golf course lies
in the center of town. Recreation is one
thing, but jobs keep Lake Mary humming. The Tlmacuan golf course runs through the town's center.
On weekdays the population rockets from
less than 14,000 to more than 35,000 as commuters arrive.
Housing prices have been on the rise, but a four-bedroom, three-bath house can still be had for $300,000. Of
course, there's always the weather to worry about. In 2004 the town spent more than $2 million cleaning up
after hurricanes.
