Lake Mary, FL 

Ah, Lake Mary. A city of dreams, a city of nightmares. It's a small place, 15-20 min. north of Orlando. One of the wealthier suburbs, though not in the league of Winter Park or some such place. Roughly 15,000 people live here, though it usually fells like a lot less (except when the snowbirds fly in).

Places to go: On the whole, Lake Mary is a pretty respectable. Has its rich areas and its poor areas, all quite nice. But wait to you cross over I-4. Then you're in the big leagues, son. There's Heathrow, Alaqua, the non-neighborhood Markham Woods, and for the true assholes with money to burn, there's Alaqua Lakes, rated the most exclusive neighborhood in Seminole County. Should you ever need to capture a real-life poser or wannabe for testing medicines or whatever, that's your place to be. Too rich for the city, too poor for Alaqua, but snobbish enough for Beverly Hills. Homes here start in the $750K range. Country Club membership, $14K minimum. No non-millionaires need apply.

Things to do: Nothing really. Simple answer, go to Orlando.

There's also Lake Mary High School. Generally a solid school, great academically, but with it's fair share of assholes, though Lake Mary Prep draws most away.

That should cover it. Lake Mary, upper-middle-class suburb of Orlando. Move here if you can afford to, but be prepared for a wave of asshattery unparalleled in the South. Nice place. Yeah.

Lake Mary, FL, city of lakes. Given, of course, there are no lakes in the city. None.

Lake Mary, FL 

Lake Mary is a small suburban city located about 19 miles north of Orlando, Florida. As of 2017, roughly 16,474 people live there with 7 public schools, 5 private schools and 1 state college.

Lake Mary connects to I-4, one of the most dangerous highways in America which goes right though Orlando and where most business people commute to work. The city was just a small farm town until around the 1980's when the high school was built with many neighborhood houses also being built. Now most of those old farms have disappeared. The town hall was created in 1946 and is very small with its own small museum.

Generally the schools in Lake Mary are not bad. Lake Mary High School has two main rival schools which are Seminole High School and Lake Brantley High School. Lake Mary's nickname is Fake Mary due to the town being quite tame making their occupants appear fake at times. Lake Mary was once ranked the #4 place to live in America in the August 2007 issue of Money magazine. It was also ranked #38 most boring place to live in Florida by RoadSnacks in 2016.

The biggest problem with Lake Mary is that there is nothing to do. Teens in Lake Mary often hang out at Steak N' Shake, McDonalds, town hall, Greenwood Lakes Park and Target for fun. There is more things to do in Sanford and Orlando which are not too far away. Many people of Lake Mary do drugs and stupid acts for fun.

Overall the city is small and fine but lacks anything to do.

Lake Mary, FL also known as the City of Lakes or the City of Retention Ponds.
