Sarah Elbadri and Orrett Davis live in the Rock Lake / Spring Lake Manor neighborhood in West Lakes. They have lived in Orlando for over a decade; and Rock Lake since 2018.
The couple really likes the neighborhood. Sarah describes the community as being very neighborly and engaged. She says that the people in the community really care about one another. They love going for runs through the neighborhood as it often feels like“Mr. Rodgers Neighborhood” when they see their neighbors as they wave to say hi.
They love their mid-century modern home. They have seen more younger families and people in their early thirties moving into the neighborhood. Sarah feels that as time progresses, the age demographic of the community will continue to shift as younger people begin to look for homes near downtown Orlando and the new UCF campus.
Orrett has a career working with early-stage start-up tech companies. Sarah is an Urban Planner for Orange County Government. Sarah is very passionate about housing, both professionally and personally, which is why she loves living in West Lakes.
