Zellwood sits at the western edge of the Mount Dora area in Lake County, where lots run larger and the pace stays rural without cutting you off from the region. Kids here are zoned for Zellwood Elementary, Wolf Lake Middle, and Apopka High, and downtown Orlando is about 33 minutes out — close enough to commute, far enough to feel like your own corner of the county. The polished master-planned enclaves like Sullivan Ranch and Lakes Of Mount Dora are a short drive away when you want more amenities.
For buyers, this is a thin, patient market. There's just one active listing right now at $440,000, and over the past year only eight homes have sold, at a median of $375,000. Homes that are priced right move — sellers are pulling in 100% of asking on average — but with a median 64 days on market, you'll want to be ready to act when the right property lands.
Zellwood is a community in Mount Dora, Florida.
