Neighborhood description:
Lake Ella's part of Florida's "Old Spanish Trail," making it a great start for morning walks or jogs with a 0.6-mile paved walking trail that completely encircles the lake. The beautiful park features abundant wildlife, a pavilion, and shops making it a central place of activity for the city. There are also food truck Thursdays which usually have a live band. The American Legion and Black Dog are cafes across the street. There are also a dozen other shops and restaurants nearby!
Getting around:
Personal cars are welcomed but might not be needed if you plan to stay local. Commercial transportation is available via your app, and taxis are a phone call away. Tallahassee also provides a free trolly for exploring the town. Nearby businesses within walking (or biking) distance include Publix, UPS, CVS, a bike shop, and Painting with a Twist to name a few.
