Alaqua is one of Seminole County's premier guard-gated estate communities, where homes sit on generous lots along a landscape of oak canopy and open fairways near the Markham Woods corridor. It's a quiet, established address built for buyers who want space, privacy, and proximity to top-rated schools — a world apart from, but still close to, the rest of Longwood homes for sale. Families here are drawn to assigned schools like Heathrow Elementary and Lake Mary High, and the commute to downtown Orlando runs about 34 minutes.
