The Zellwood Elementary attendance zone stretches across the Deer Island and Tavares corner of Lake County, a quieter, lake-dotted pocket of Central Florida where you still get real commuter reach — downtown Orlando is about 41 minutes away and MCO around 49. It's the kind of place buyers pick when they want more house and yard than the Orlando metro gives them, without giving up the option of a workweek in the city. You'll find Deer Island, Tavares homes for sale ranging from starter properties to genuine lakefront estates.
The market here spans a wide spectrum: 162 active listings run from $39,900 all the way to $4,900,000, with a median list of $470,995. Homes are moving at a measured pace — a median of 56 days on market — and sellers are collecting about 97% of asking, so there's room to negotiate but not a fire sale. New construction is a real factor with 48 active listings, and buyers can filter the full picture on the live map.
Zellwood Elementary is an attendance zone in Apopka, Florida.
