Our Take
Mount Dora is a quaint suburb with a low flood risk and a relatively short commute to Orlando. While it lacks walkability and has limited transit options, the area boasts good schools and a range of community amenities. However, potential residents should be aware of the need for a car to get around and the potential for growth and development in the area.
