Wait, you haven’t heard about Rose Isle? This darling little neighborhood in Orlando, rated one of the best in the Orlando Metro area? Well, that I have to tell you about this amazing little neighborhood. It’s located north of downtown just off of Interstate 4 with easy access to the Orlando Science Center. It sits between two lakes, Lake Rowena and Lake Sue but N. Mills Ave. runs north and south through the middle of the smaller Lake, called Lake Estelle, which half of the lake is part of Rose Isle.
This is really a very small neighborhood made up of just a few roads such as Norfolk Rd., Shrewsberry Road, Shoreham Road and Lakeshore Drive. So what’s the big deal about it?

He received a B+ on education but the cost of living actually received and asked because of its high, luxury pricing.
