Lake Nona attracts families and grows with strong sense of community

Top quality health. Education for all ages, at all levels. Technology to make everyday life easier. Large green area. These are some of the features that are attracting residents and making the reputation of Lake Nona, an exciting community in southeast Orlando.

“When we turn onto Lake Nona Boulevard, we both breathe a sigh of relief. We love all the social activities and the sense of community here,” says Laurie Holmes in an Orlando Sentinel’s article. She and her husband, Chuck, are residents of VillageWalk.

Lake Nona have 17 square miles with planned condos of houses and apartments. There is University of Central Florida’s Health Sciences Campus, along with the Nemours Children’s HospitalUniversity of Florida Academic & Research Center and the Orlando VA Medical Center, among others. There are also shops, restaurants, places to sports practice and to have fun. It is a complete community!
