Apopka Real Estate

Apopka Florida Growth and Why It’s Becoming a Place to Call Home

there's two places in Greater Orlando that deserve to be talked about the first one we're going to talk about today is a poka the second one you'll have to subscribe CU we're putting out a video at a few weeks about that but Apopka Florida is experiencing massive growth and seeing some of the similarities as Claremont and minola and Horizon West have over the past 10 years so today I'm going to show you around some of the big projects coming to a Popa and maybe why you should consider calling it home

What Makes an Area Boom?

there's a few elements that make areas boom when I started looking years ago at Horizon West I could see it was a lot of natural land it was close to a lot of things like Disney and Downtown Winter Garden and then you look at Claremont it has a lot of land a lot of opportunity and a lot of infrastructure same thing with minola and I've correctly guessed that all three of those areas would absolutely boom and this is very similar to The Vibes that I feel over here in Apopka

Where is Apopka Located?

now Apopka is located about 30 to 45 minutes from downtown Orlando MCO and Disney and has a ton of land it also already has 55,000 people that live here which is very similar to Winter Garden and so you start bringing all of those things together and I think it's primed for massive growth the last thing you add in there is the overall pricing with $450,000 being the average sales price here in apaka makes it more affordable than so many other areas so today let me show you some of the major projects is going on starting with a $1.2 billion buildout at Wild Oaks

Wyld Oaks Apopka

remember that scene in Back to the Future where he came in the 50s and saw like this massive road going in this is kind of a cool shot to me very similar to that on what's going on with Wild Oaks it's a 1.2 billion build out but it's going to be office it's going to be medical it's going to be retail and between 3 and 4,000 residential REITs right off of 429 and Kelly Parkway now this is going to be a 5 to six year buildout and the develop says that they're already ahead of schedule to start seeing some of the multif Family Apartments going in first they usually do that so they can start bringing in some of that revenue and help pay for a lot of the other infrastructure that needs to go in

beyond that though you start looking right across the street we've got gardinia by mamy and so many other neighborhoods so let's start taking a look at what's available right now here in aapka

Apopka Vs. Horizon West (and others)

when you start comparing Builders and areas it's wild to see here in apka this is golden gem Road and right across from me is Wild Oaks with all that new development going on but Town Homes here start in the low 300s and to put a point of reference like down in Horizon West you've got the waterly neighborhood by DR Horton and I think it's a similar product those properties start at 445 up to $490 so you're saving easily $100,000 by going up to $429 another 25 minutes or so a lot of savings for people that are really price conscious in today's market

What Was Apopka Known For?

next up on our tour is this Kelly Park area I remember when I first moved to Orlando Maybe eight years ago there was nothing over here other than green houses like you see behind me a popo was known as Fern City because it was the interior foliage capital of the world for so long as you drive around a poka you still see a lot of remnants of that but a lot of it's getting torn down and you'll see the Publix and the retail and a lot of other things that you'd really want if you're going to live in this area on top of the 429 expansion there's a lot of things to love about this North AP papka area you're only 15 minutes away from Mount Dora you're only 15 to 20 minutes away from Heathrow and Lake Mary so aapka is really well situated for the growth

New Construction Coming to Apopka

since so much of aapka is brand new you've got so many different Builders KB beaser mamy DR Horton and even there's two Toll Brothers neighborhoods here which they've never done products in this price point before so if you want to one of the more quality builders in Orlando they're actually here building kind of like their their toll light if you will so much like a lot of these different areas you've got some more established homes and then you've got the new build that kind of builds out the entire community and so if you want to be a part of something that's eventually going to be one of these booming areas you'll have to grow into that but the savings that you get along the way is why people are choosing a pop

Toll Brothers The Oaks at Kelly Park

this is the Oaks at Kelly Park by Toll Brothers and I wanted to start here kind of up in North Apopka to show you what's available the quality and the pricing and how that differentiates to some of the other areas around Orlando so this property it's the Holden Craftsman model it's about 2200 ft four bedrooms three bads really well appointed this property starts in the high fives now again the same exact product over in say Horizon West or heck even Claremont at this point is going to start in the high sixes low sevens again just kind of giving you a differentiating factor of the money that you can save by being in the Apopka area

they also have a bungalow style so the rear entry properties and those are starting in the 400s so for the price of a town home in many of the other growth areas of Orlando you can get a single family property here just off the 429

Builder Incentives and Quick Delivery Homes

one of the interesting things about all of these new builds coming to the area is that we're in this kind of Lull in the overall Market not just in apka but in all of Central Florida where almost every single Builder is offering some sort of incentive and so if you're looking to maybe buy down a rate or take advantage of some of those things in kind of a slower summer season right now there's a lot of really cool things that Builders are willing to do to earn your business some of which aren't even Financial some of them have these quick delivery homes that can be ready in 2 3 4 months instead of having to wait 8 to 12 months to get a home built like we used to have to

Floridian Town Center in Apopka

right up here at 3200 OBT there's actually going to be a new development coming in more commercial anything and so the people that are looking for more retail and restaurants and that kind of thing will be right up here there's going to be 300 Apartments there's going to be uh 200,000 ft of commercial and Retail and a lot of stuff coming they just submitted the plans to the city for this this past week and so my assumption is that over the next 2 years or so it'll finally be complete

Bronson Peak by Toll Brothers

the next neighborhood I want to take you guys to is Bronson Peak by to brother this is in the south of poka area it's about 300 homes and town homes with a lot of different options from town homes to single family and larger estate homes right across the street you've got a lar neighborhood so this whole area is starting to develop

Townhomes and Single-Family Options

we're almost 1,800 squ ft three bedrooms plus a loft two and 1/2 baths with a lot of different upgrades already included Andor that can be added cuz to brothers does a really great job all around $400,000 which again the pricing difference between say a horizon West or a Claremont or even up by miniola compared to a poka is fantastic you've got a detached two-car garage in the back with an outdoor patio space

The Falcon Model

it's the Falcon it's about 3,000 square ft five bedrooms four baths and has a really fantastic layout you've got this wide open space down here primary on the main level and Allin you're going to be in the 900s again something like this elsewhere is easily going to be 1.2 to 1.4 million one of my favorite exteriors that we finally have here in Central FLorida is this modern Farmhouse it just gives a different feel

Why Apopka Might Be the Right Move

I know we only went through two neighborhoods today but there's dozens in the apoa area to choose from as well as resale and also some older houses on acreage so it really does have a lot to offer and you might be thinking like well I don't want to have to wait for so much development and all those kind of things well you could move to Winter Park or downtown in some more established areas but if you're looking to save some money and get ahead of the curve over the next four to six years I think a poka is a fantastic FC option so if you're looking to sell or buy a house anywhere in Central Florida we want to be your real estate resource of choice make sure you reach out at the orlando.com youout to get started we'll see you guys on the next video
