I am a third generation Floridian. I was raised by the lakes and the coast of Florida and Georgia . I have lived in the "Lake Region Area" for almost twenty years and I have chosen Keystone Heights to raise my daughter. I have always enjoyed the simplicity of Melrose and the surrounding area. It's a place that is brought to life with every sunrise. The view of the cypress trees and the freshness of the lakes will take you back to the "Old Florida" lifestyle. When you arrive here you leave the world behind. Boiled peanuts in paper bags, picking your own fresh strawberries and blueberries, gathering farm fresh eggs and vegetables from a local stand will bring you excitement that you may have never experienced. Imagine a day at the lake where friends gather, families celebrate, and time stands still for a tranquil escape to just unwind. Our area will take you there. When you are refreshed and your spirit is renewed, the proximity of Jacksonville , St. Augustine and Gainesville are all within your distance. Each day brings new opportunities. Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass... it's about learning to dance in the rain. Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to fulfill your dream! Dream big, fly high, reach for the stars! -Bilinda
