Tavares, FL Makes The List 4 rating By Anonymous ( May 23, 2018) I have enjoyed living in Tavares, Florida and I know that my job is one of the more steady places I've worked in years. Although I didn't plan on living south years ago, I never intended on actually moving here. If you want to live some good years of your life, then Tavares is th ...Read More e place for you.

Living near Orlando means that there is no shortage of things to do. I know you might think Seaworld and theme parks get old, then you are wrong. We are essentially living in central Florida and you can imagine the weather can go from we to dry in an instant. I love it here and hope you can see for yourself.

While staying close to home, my job allows me to really get a feel for the community and things of that nature. While living here I have met so many wonderful people and retirees. They love this Florida living! I hope you schedule a trip and check us out! Read Less
