Alaqua Lakes is one of Longwood's premier gated golf communities, where estate homes sit on generous lots along the Markham Woods corridor. The scale here is real — median home size runs close to 10,684 square feet — and the setting is quiet, wooded, and built for people who want space without leaving the Orlando orbit. Downtown Orlando is about 28 minutes away, and even Walt Disney World is under an hour, so weekend plans and daily commutes both stay easy. It sits among some of the area's best-known enclaves like Sweetwater Club and The Springs, and rounds out the upper end of Longwood homes for sale.
For a buyer, this is a thin, high-end market that moves fast. There are just 3 active listings right now, all gated and pool-equipped, with a median days on market of 1 — homes here don't linger. Over the last 12 months 22 homes sold at a median of $1,237,500, with sellers collecting about 97% of asking, so realistic pricing and quick decisions matter more than lowball strategy. If you're comparing to nearby Sweetwater Oaks, expect Alaqua Lakes to trade at a meaningful premium.
