SANFORD! BY C L AU DI A M U N DLO S

iving in Sanford comes with a lot of benefits. These days, Sanford has exceeded its previous “up and coming” status. Perhaps this is the reason why Sanfordites rarely leave “the bubble.”
We believe that Sanford’s undeniably high quality of life makes its residents collectively happier than residents of other Central Florida cities, so let’s take a look at the complete package that is Sanford!
STAYING ACTIVE AND HEALTHY IS A BREEZE
Staying active and healthy in Sanford is easy as can be. Take a walk on the Riverwalk (which will soon be close to 5 miles long!), swim at the Larry A. Dale Aquatic Center, or bike on the Seminole Wekiva Trail! And for the more ambitious runners among us, just sign up for one of the many 5Ks happening in Sanford throughout the year. The Seminole County Sports Complex and Lake Sylvan Park are other places to stay fit — not to mention the numerous gyms popping up in the area. How about a round of golf on a historic golf course? We’re looking at you, Mayfair Country Club!
EXCELLENT EDUCATION
Sanford is also fortunate to be home to some of the best schools in the entire state of Florida! All of the highly ranked schools are often the reason why people start their home search in Sanford. In addition to that, Sanford is also home to Seminole State College, which offers bachelor's degrees, two-year college-credit degrees (A.A., A.S., A.A.S.) and specialized career certificates as well as continuing professional education. 6 MY SAN FORD MAGA ZI N E | SP R I NG 2020
COMPLETE CONVENIENCE
Everything is close by here in Sanford, and most of the time, traffic is far less stressful than in other parts of the county. The mall area offers a plethora of stores for shopping as well as different dining options – from big chain restaurants to mom and pop diners. Everything you could possibly need is no more than a fifteen-minute drive away.
BORING DOESN’T EXIST
Sanford is a very vibrant city where a lot of things are happening. Here, we spell leisure with a capital L!
BENEVOLENCE PHOTOGRAPHY
Looking to live a balanced life close to nature? Go hiking through the Black Bear Wilderness area, kayaking on the Wekiva River at Katie’s Landing, or sailing and fishing on Lake Monroe. Lots of parks and playgrounds and of course, the splash pad at Fort Mellon Park keep the little ones in motion too! And there’s also Paw Park for your furry babies’ wellbeing.
