“I would describe our lifestyle in Orange City as full but easy. It is full because there is always something going on — kids’ programming at the library, a concert in the park, a speaker at the coffee shop, a sporting event at the college, and more. At the same time, our lifestyle is easy because everything is affordable and convenient.” – Julie Elliott
