In Central Florida, Winter Park is one of the most prestigious places to own a home. Many of Orlando's wealthiest and most notable familes own homes in this historic city.

I highlight a lot of communities on my website, but sometimes I feel like some great neighborhoods are falling through the cracks due to small size, out-of-the-way location, or age. One of the reasons I'm excited about having this blog is because I get the opportunity to showcase what I think are truly among the best places to live in Central Florida.

Today I'm going to talk about a neighborhood that I think is one of the best-kept secrets in Casselberry.

One of Seminole County's most wonderful lakes is Lake Howell, located in the heart of Casselberry. It's a beautiful, spring-fed lake that's perfect for boating, fishing, jet skiing and water skiing, with a large amount of waterfront real estate around it.

I tried this blog thing a few months ago and had a little trouble committing to it. But I keep hearing how helpful and important they can be for my customers - and for me, as well - so it's time to get back on the horse!

Let me reintroduce myself: my name is Lee Cameron with Watson Realty in Orlando, Florida. and I have been selling Real Estate in Central Florida for the last 14 years. I'm hoping to make this blog a valuable resource for my customers to gain experienced insight into this Real Estate market, and to keep in touch with my fellow Realtors to stay ahead of the curve. I'll work to provide you with the best information that I find, and tell you like it really is.

Hope you enjoy! Hope I do, too!
