A Passion Project There's no place Mount Dora residents Daniel and Carla Melick would rather be. 'It's one of the most beautiful small towns in Florida,' says Carla, a Florida native from Kissimmee. 'We fell in love with the downtown and the ‘hometown feel,'' adds Daniel, who hails from Philadelphia and spent summers in Mount Dora with his grandfather as a teen. The Melicks moved to Mount Dora from Kissimmee in 2015 after their family doubled in size with the birth of two daughters. Knowing they needed a bigger home; the couple began looking at small towns reasonably close to Carla's family in Kissimmee.
