Anyone close to Lake City?
We may be moving there soon, within the next few months. We are in Indiana now.
From what I have seen online, it looks beautiful, but I can't seem to find very many nice rental houses... any advice on where to look before we actually make a trip?
Any other info about the area that I should know? I plan to start a small in-home licensed daycare...

Re: Anyone close to Lake City?
I actually grew up in Lake City and still have family there. What do you want to know?
There's not a lot rental wise in the area. Closest large town is Gainesville, about 45 minutes south. The University of Florida is there, so lots of cultural opportunities and more shopping options. In LC Wal-Mart is king though there is a very tiny mall with a JCPenny. It's grown considerably in the last decade or so, but it's still mostly a rural community.
When looking for housing you're probably going to want to stay on the south side of town, or out west towards 75. Avoid the 5-Points area and the section directly north of the little downtown. Behind the movie theatre there is a relatively new rental community that you'll probably hear about, but be cautious. It's actually half government housing and half public rentals.
