Known as the Indoor Foliage Capital of the World and also home to the 2001 Little League World Series U.S. Champions, Apopka is located about 15 miles northwest of Orlando, minutes from Altamonte Springs and Mt. Dora. With the opening of the Maitland Blvd. extension, the area is now just minutes from Maitland Center as well.

Lots of greenhouses growing indoor plants are still active in the area and Apopka figured measurably in the Orlando area's citrus production. It is now one of the fastest growing communities in Central Florida in both residential markets. Homes are available in upscale golf communities as well as more moderately priced homes in planned communities.
