Maitland is a welcoming community with plenty of history and a sense of pride. With its central location, next to Winter Park, it has become a location where individuals who like the Winter Park vibe but not necessarily the WP prices have come to settle. The suburb has many picturesque parks along lakes, which attract many boaters, plenty of cultural events year-round, and many restaurants that have become family favorites. A huge attraction also are the schools in the area, particularly the Domerich schools which have been ranked as one of the best in the area. It is also home to the nationally recognized independent movie theater, Enzian Theater, which hosts the Florida Film Festival.
