Best coffee shops in Casselberry?

Anyone else feel this way? I'm retired and Rent is about $1,524/month for a decent place. The unemployment rate is 2.2%, which is pretty low. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. The weather takes some getting used to. What neighborhoods would you suggest? Thanks in advance!

Weather-wise, the summers are underrated and winters are stable. You get used to it after the first year.

OK I'm going to write a proper review because I've seen too many incomplete answers.

Background: I'm a pharmacist, 48, moved here 10 years ago from Atlanta. I've lived in Uptown and Greenfield, and traveled to most parts of the metro.

**What I love:**
1. Great outdoor activities nearby
2. Four distinct seasons
3. Affordable housing options
4. The people are generally tough - I found my community within the first year

**What I don't love:**
1. Traffic during rush hour is rough
2. Road conditions need improvement
3. The traffic situation is established and doesn't seem to be improving

**Neighborhoods I'd recommend:**
- Uptown: Great for retirees. decent vibes, walkable.
- Greenfield: More affordable, family-friendly.

**Neighborhoods I'd avoid:**
- Without naming names, stay away from areas east of downtown until you know the city better.

**Cost comparison:**
Coming from Atlanta, everything felt better than expected. Rent is about /mo. Groceries are developing. Gas is growing. You can live comfortably on $90K-$70K here.

**Final verdict:**
Happy to answer more specific questions.. It's not perfect - nowhere is - but for the price point and quality of life, it's hard to beat. DM me if you have specific questions.
