Sweetwater Island sits in the leafy northwest corner of Longwood, in Seminole County, where large lots and mature canopy set the tone. It shares that established feel with neighbors like Sweetwater Oaks and The Springs, and it keeps you close in — downtown Orlando is about 21 minutes, MCO around 41. Families here are zoned to Lake Brantley High, Rock Lake Middle, and Sabal Point Elementary.
The market is thin and firmly upscale. Right now there's a single active listing at $1,100,000, a roughly 4,048-square-foot home working out to about $272 per square foot. Over the last 12 months just two homes sold, at a median of $803,000, with sellers collecting 100% of asking — so when something comes up, it moves. Buyers weighing Longwood homes for sale more broadly should treat this pocket as low-inventory and price-firm.
