Can someone tell me what Casselberry is like? (Longwood, Maitland: hair salon, real estate)

[skyygal]

Is it a decent place to live?

It's OK. I say it's an average place to live. Nothing special but it's acceptable.

congested but haven't heard that it is any worse than anywhere else

It's a blue collar type of city, middle to lower-middle class area. Pretty diverse demographics. And it has an over agressive police force, so watch your speed. They don't call it Hasselberry for nothing. It's centrally located in terms of the metro area, with Longwood to the north, Altamonte to the west, Fern Park/Maitland to the south, and unincorporated Seminole County (oviedo/winter park/winter springs) on the east. The main branch of the Seminole County library is located there. There are a few dive bars if that's your thing, and other than that Casselberry is mainly residential.

That's about half right. I wouldn't call the east side neighborhoods of Deer Run or Lake Howell "blue collar".

I agree with this

Pretty good...

I would call the bars more "dive-like" as the crowds in my experience are mostly working class to paraprofessional.


If the OP has a specific area in mind that would help.
