It's a good fit if you want an Apopka address with more breathing room and a rural edge, plus reasonable access to Orlando — downtown is about 41 minutes and the airport near 49. The area feeds a broad school network including Wekiva High, and inventory ranges from starter homes to lakefront property, so different budgets can find a place here.

The median list price is $450,952 and the median sold price over the past year was $430,970, which sits in the mid-range for the Orlando metro. With prices starting near $80,000 and topping out at $5.2 million, there's genuine spread depending on size, age, and whether you're buying waterfront.

Expect around $225 per square foot, with a median home size of about 2,024 square feet. The typical listing lands near $450,952, though the ten listings above $1 million and the seven waterfront properties push the top end well higher.

There are 180 active listings and 508 homes have sold in the last 12 months, so it's steadily active. Homes take a median of about 42 days to go under contract and sellers are getting 98% of asking, meaning it's balanced enough to negotiate without lowball expectations. You can track live inventory on the live map.

The median HOA runs about $178 per month, which tracks with the 59 gated communities in the area. Median property tax is around $3,200 a year, and if you're weighing a rental, the median rent here is about $2,495 per month.
