Wrapped around a lake of the same name
Standing in Florida's Ocoee City, within the greater Orlando area, is Prairie Lake. "The area has an almost rural, small-town feel with the convenience of a residential bedroom community. There are mainly single-family homes and townhouses and plenty of parks to enjoy. It's a neighborhood that has a good sense of community," says Scott Taylor, a Realtor with Realty Center who has lived in Ocoee for over 30 years. The neighborhood has grass-lined streets and houses with front yards wrapped around a lake of the same name.
