The small community of Fern Park is a close neighbor of Casselberry, adding a selection of attractive homes along tree-shaded streets and a few local businesses.  Just 2.1 square miles in area, Fern Park benefits from the amenities in nearby cities like Casselberry, Maitland, and even Altamonte Springs.  Residents enjoy the convenience of Highway 436 and Highway 17-92.  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.
