The Longwood Story

Seminole County Privacy with Top-Rated Schools

Longwood delivers something increasingly rare in Central Florida: large lots, mature oaks, and top-rated Seminole County schools without the premium of a Winter Park address. Alaqua Lakes and Wingfield North are gated golf communities with estate homes on half-acre-plus lots. The Markham Woods Road corridor offers equestrian-friendly acreage properties. For families, Longwood's school zoning consistently outranks Orange County equivalents.
