Sanford Real Estate and Neighborhoods
Seminole County's oldest city, Sanford enjoys a blend of historic charm, natural resources, and modern amenities. The area's downtown is located on Lake Monroe, through which the St. John's River flows. Residents enjoy historic neighborhoods and antique shopping downtown. In recent years, much growth has occurred in the western sections of the city with the opening of Seminole Towne Center, a 1.2 million square foot mall. Several upscale golf and gated communities are being developed in west Sanford.
Sanford has managed to balance its small town charm with some of Central Florida's most explosive growth. The recently expanded Orlando Sanford airport, a former naval air station, now welcomes thousands of British tourists on charter flights every week, as well as several small domestic airline flights.
