Ovideo FL Homes for Sale
The city of Oviedo, FL (and it is not pronounced O-video! It is Oh-vee-do), blends the twin charms of small town community life with all that a major metropolitan area has to offer.
It is a quaint little town situated within easy traveling distance from Orlando, and all that the city has to offer. While the town only dates to 1925, the community – sitting on the shores of beautiful Lake Jessup – has existing since shortly after the U.S. Civil War.
The first settlers came to farm the rich soil, and slowly built a town so there are a variety of Ovideo FL Homes for sale at any one time.
Lights, Camera, Action!
As an interesting side note, the area has a tradition of ghostly apparitions. Many old timers still tell tales of the “Lights of Oviedo,” the spirits that haunt the ancient swamps of the town.
Some say it is the ghost of Ponce de Leon, still searching for the fabled Fountain of Youth, and others claim they are the spirits of Civil War soldiers who fell in battle, and continue their conflict in the hereafter.
In fact, a local film company used the stories as the basis for a motion picture. Hey, perhaps you can bag yourself one of the Oviedo FL homes for sale that was the setting for a movie!
Rural Idyll
Because of the city’s rural roots, many of the older Oviedo FL homes for sale sit on sizeable pieces of land; an acre or more is not unusual.
However, the prices on such properties can be considerable, upwards of a million (or more)! For those of the more economically minded, there are a number of excellent developments in the area.
Oviedo FL homes for sale under one hundred thousand are rare, but they can be found. Granted, you are usually talking about a small home on a tiny parcel; or (as they say) a real “fixer-upper.”
However, modest Oviedo FL homes for sale at reasonable prices are out there. Many of the developments feature a wide range of homes, usually starting at the mid 150’s.
For this, you can expect a two bedroom two bath on a quarter acre. Up in the 250 range are the three bedroom two bath Oviedo FL homes for sale.
Once you get into the half million range, we are talking a four three on two acres, usually with easy access to the golf courses and downtown district and you can pretty much have your pick of Oviedo FL homes for sale.
A Life of Leisure
All these Oviedo FL homes for sale feature a variety of amenities. For the larger developments, there are private golf courses, recreation centers and club houses.
The city has many public parks and a fine school system. And, of course, there are the nearby theme parks. Places like Disney World, Universal Studios and SeaWorld are little more than an hour’s drive away from all these Oviedo FL homes for sale.
Or, if the beach is what you crave, Daytona Beach and the whole east coast of Florida is about an hour to the east. If technology and space are an interest for the younger members of your family, the Kennedy Space Center is also within that hour’s drive.
So, it is easy to see that the city has much to offer the potential home buyer. If small town life, yet without the usual isolation associated with it, is what you seek, then Oviedo FL homes for sale may be just the thing for you.
