Sanford, located in Seminole County, boasts one of the top school districts in the state, a crucial consideration for parents. Even if you don't have school-aged kids, the quality of schools can positively impact your property values. With a variety of educational options, including magnet and charter schools, Sanford caters to diverse needs. Plus, proximity to the University of Central Florida makes it an excellent choice for families with college-aged children.

Exciting developments are underway, including the arrival of a Publix, a significant relief for locals who no longer want to drive 25 minutes for their favorite pub sub. Embracing the local culture, such as enjoying a Publix sub, is a sign that you're truly becoming a part of Florida.

Despite Sanford's explosive growth, some concerns have emerged, particularly related to drainage issues affecting existing homes. Florida's intense but brief rainstorms have led to challenges in managing stormwater. However, the new construction is thriving, with renowned builders like Toll Brothers, Landsea, DR Horton, Ryan Homes, Starlight, and Pulte contributing to the community's development.

Looking ahead, Pulte's townhome community, Skylar Crest, and Toll Brothers' Skyway Landing are poised to bring more housing options to the area. Keep an eye out for updates on prices and availability.

In the single-family home category, Starlight is unveiling a community off Celery Ave in March 2024, with specifics still under wraps. DR Horton has three ongoing communities – Eastgrove, Cove at Riverbend, and Concorde – each offering unique features and starting prices. Take advantage of attractive incentives, including up to $20,000 toward closing costs and competitive interest rates when using DR Horton's lender.
