Home to one of Florida's most well-preserved historic districts, featuring buildings dating back to the 1870s, Longwood combines its rich past with today's amenities. This well-positioned Seminole County city of 15,087 residents offers a 25-minute average commute to downtown Orlando, with convenient access to I-4 and the SunRail station for commuters. The Historic District, centered around Church Avenue and Warren Avenue, showcases Victorian-era architecture and original wooden structures from the city's railway days. Newer residential developments provide rental houses near parks and shopping centers. The Sabal Point area features executive rental homes close to walking trails and premium shopping, while the Longwood Hills neighborhood offers rental properties within walking distance to South Seminole Hospital, one of the area's major employers. The Woodlands section presents established rental homes surrounded by mature landscaping, positioning residents near the city's professional corridor along SR 434. With average three-bedroom rental homes priced around $2,369 monthly, Longwood delivers solid value compared to neighboring Lake Mary and Maitland. The city's strategic location provides quick access to Orlando's technology corridor, medical centers, and professional districts, while maintaining a more relaxed pace than its urban neighbors.
