North Orlando – It takes a Village?

Been wondering what the heck is that big “thing” at the end of our street? Well, announcing our newest area project – The Village at Lake Lily. It is a combination of luxury apartments, retail spaces and restaurants. We have watched the progress carefully and are anxious to find out just what businesses will be moving in there. That will give me more to add to my already quite full Important Links page. It is just a short walk down the street from Thurston House for our guests, and will be very conveniet and fun to have close by. Keep tuned!
