Once the home of the world's largest fernery, Casselberry is a civic-minded town where friendly residents share an appreciation for community life and outdoor activity. Lush golf courses and Lake Howell highlight the recreational amenities close to home. Like most areas in Seminole County, the town has experienced substantial growth in recent decades. Residents enjoy the convenience of Highway 436 and Highway 17-92. The housing selection in Casselberry ranges from well-kept older homes in the heart of the city to beautiful newer construction in a variety of price ranges and architectural styles. Many homes are designed to take advantage of Central Florida's abundance of sunshine and temperate weather, with large front porches, skylights, generous use of glass, and patio areas. An active parks and recreation department sponsors well-attended festivities. The department also offers sports programs for residents of all ages.
