Life in Apopka, FL

Apopka calls itself the Indoor Foliage Capital of the World, a title that grew out of the fern and houseplant nurseries that took over the area in the 1920s. Today it is also the gateway to Kelly Park's Rock Springs, Wekiwa Springs State Park and the Lake Apopka North Shore, one of the top birding areas in Florida.

Settlers arrived after Florida statehood in 1845, and Orange Lodge #36 F&AM received its charter in December 1856, so early maps called the town The Lodge. Apopka was chartered as The Town of Apopka City in 1882, the TO&A railroad arrived in 1885, and the town incorporated with a mayor and council in 1919. After the 1894 to 1895 freeze wiped out citrus, growers turned to ferns, and by the 1920s Apopka was known as The Fern City. Apopka mixes old nursery land, golf course neighborhoods and new subdivisions on the north side near Kelly Park Road. Residents are commuters to Orlando, families drawn by newer homes, and people who want springs, trails and horse country close by.

Buying in Apopka: what Ryan and Megan check

  • Golf course communities like Rock Springs Ridge and Errol Estate carry mandatory HOA membership. Get the HOA documents, fees and rental rules before you write an offer.
  • Land near Lake Apopka, the Wekiva River and the many small lakes can sit in FEMA flood zones. Pull the flood map for the exact parcel and get an insurance quote early.
  • New construction on the north side, near Kelly Park Road, is growing fast. Ask the builder about any CDD or special assessments, and check traffic on Kelly Park Road and US 441 at rush hour.
  • Older homes and rural lots toward Zellwood and Plymouth may use a private well and septic system. Order well water and septic inspections, and note that the Wekiva springshed has its own septic rules.
