Because these types of companies tend to employ younger individuals, most of the residents of Lake Mary are between 20 and 40 years old. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to being a center of industry, Lake Mary is also home to one of my favorite coffee shops in the Orlando area, NewCity Coffee Company<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
