706 Beverly Ave

Northeast of Orlando, Fl., residents raise families in a recreation-filled environment featuring a number of inland lakes, easy access to city's resorts and theme parks, and a laid-back lifestyle with a short commute to area employers.

With several well-manicured golf courses, the northeast Orlando area creates a golfer's haven for retirees, vacationers or parents seeking a little relaxation on the weekend. There are dozens of medium- and small-sized lakes in the area, providing great spots for fishing, sports and waterfront living. Lake Jesup offers camping, fishing and boating activities, while smaller Lake Howell features living options within steps of the water.

Because local residents range from families to retirees, there are also a wide variety of housing options. Condos, townhouses and patio homes are in abundance, as are single-family homes with decent-sized yards.
