Sanford, considered the “birthplace of Central Florida,” thrives of its dynamic mix of agricultural, historical and revived economic developments.

Being organic is easier, since you can take your pick of fresh produce from a variety of farmer’s markets. You can visit the Central FL zoo in the morning, antique shop through the brick-lined streets of Historic Downtown Sanford, catch a street parade or block party and then end your evening on the river or waterfront. Perhaps even do a little shopping in the Seminole Town Centre shopping mall in between.

Sanford is home to its own airport and high-rated schools like Crooms Academy of Information Technology, Wilson Elementary School, Sanford Middle School, Seminole Community College and the Delta Connection Academy. One of Central Florida’s best-kept secrets, Sanford is proving to be a well-rounded and popular city for both business developments and residential properties.

Houses range from quaint one-bedrooms for urbanites to contemporary waterside mansions fit for rock stars. You may also find a convenient and modern town home or condo to call home.
