About Longwood, Fl
Longwood prides itself on remaining a family oriented community, despite its growth over the years. The area encompasses several country club developments as well as more moderately priced homes for families just starting out. Longwood is the address for many of the upscale neighborhoods off Markham Woods Road as well as the golf communities of Sweetwater Oaks, Sabal Point, and Wekiva; all highly sought after because of the established neighborhoods, amenities, and excellent schools.
Historic Longwood is located in the heart of Central Florida less than 30 miles from world-renowned Walt Disney World and Universal Studios. About 14,500 Longwood residents enjoy a safe, comfortable, family-friendly atmosphere, moderately priced homes and proximity to the dynamic Orlando Metro area.
