Tavares might not be the first place you think of when you come to Florida, but it's a nice little city with an abundance of sea planes!
Tavares is a lovely city with many activities and places to go to. There is downtown Tavares, where you can find many restaurants, and the nightlife is excellent. Though many residents are very conservative and the diversity could be better, but it is okay. School life is average, not bad. But, it could use some improvements. Tavares is a safe city and does not have much criminal activity. Most residents are quite friendly and will spark up a conversation if they see you around town. There could be an improvement with job oppportunities, as there are not many. But overall, I enjoy spending time in Tavares.
Tavares is a small retirement town outside of the bustle of Orlando. It is known as "Seaplane City" for obvious reasons and it sits nestled in a chain of lakes in, you guessed it, LAKE county. The town is small with a large elderly population but it is nice and quiet which is what I like. There is shopping, lots of dining options, and it's close to Mount Dora which is a popular tourist stop for a weekend getaway.
