You left out Peach Valley and Stonewood. Honestly, there is nothing downtown except 4th Street Grill which is mediocre. I have built 3 homes here and know it very well- I feel you left out the best of everything in Lake Mary- I grew up here so I know most of our neighbors who own these establishments - Corona Cigars have been there at least 20 years, not to mention the great bike trail behind Peach Valley which we all love.....

      Congrats, Rita! You are the only person to comment negatively on one of my videos in two years. I can tell a troll when I see one. This video is not about individual businesses. It's about the general reasons Lake Mary is attractive. Colonial Town Park (or Colonial Town Plaza as you called it) is featured in some of my other Lake Mary videos. It was built in 2003-2006, so how could the "Real Residents" of Lake Mary been going there for 25+ years? At least two of the tenants you mentioned, Liam's and Dexter's, have closed because they couldn't afford the high rents. Don Shula's (not Schula's), Ruth's Chris, and the Amstar theatre are also mentioned in my other videos. Again, this video isn't about individual businesses, but generic reasons why folks like Lake Mary. As far as the Seminole-Wekiva Trail, it IS featured in this video. An expert such as yourself should probably pay better attention.

      I'm a big fan of that whole Mt Dora/Tavares area and I really like Deer Island. Not something you're typically going to happen upon without looking for it. The market trends are following our state and local trends in terms of reduced inventory, with the one exception being median price. That has dropped 6.7% in the last year. I would attribute that to the fact the area is somewhat remote to the Orlando metro area. Not a disturbing trend.

    At about the 4:48 mark you showed a new house being constructed. Why are Florida builders building wood stick / 2x4 with a press wood outside? I would think all new construction should be at least concrete block maybe even with rebar k. As for roofs I find it interesting no company has developed something other than asphalt. We wanted to retire to Florida in 2 years but I now not so sure.

    • @reallivinginorlandoflorida7335
      @reallivinginorlandoflorida7335 ปีที่แล้ว

      That construction clip is a stock video, what we call "b-roll". The majority of homes built here now ARE concrete block.....have been for a good while. In some cases, depending on the strapping and bracing, a wood frame home may hold up better in high winds that one built out of concrete block. And vertical rebar is always used in block construction, with the size and distance determined by the local building codes. Check out this article for a good summary of block vs. frame construction in Florida: blog.icihomes.com/2010/03/19/concrete-block-vs-engineered-wood-frame/ Regarding roofing, there are materials other than asphalt and fiberglass shingles. Concrete tile, metal, even solar "shingles" are an alternative, but all come with a cost.
