Alaqua is one of Longwood's marquee estate communities, where large-lot homes sit behind mature landscaping in a quiet corner of Seminole County. The scale here is generous — the median home runs just over 4,000 square feet — and the community sits within easy reach of the Markham Woods corridor and neighboring enclaves like Sweetwater Club and The Springs. Downtown Orlando is about 34 minutes away, so you get room to breathe without giving up access to the city.
For a buyer today, this is a thin, high-end market. There's currently one active listing at $1,399,000, and just two homes sold over the past year at a median of $1,420,000 — so inventory moves slowly and options are limited. If Alaqua itself doesn't have what you need right now, it's worth widening the search across Longwood homes for sale and comparable communities like Sweetwater Oaks and Wildmere.
Alaqua is a community in Longwood, Florida.
