homes-for-sale-in-altamonte-springsKnown best for throwing Florida’s largest Independence Day celebration, Altamonte Springs is exploding in many other directions. It’s an area that has been achieving ‘firsts’ ever since Dr. Washington Kilmer was the first European to settle, in 1870, on the high hill – the English translation of the Spanish word Altamont. It was the first winter resort town, developed as a playground for the rich and famous in the late 1880s, and a healing place where people went to recuperate, with the help of the medicinal waters of the local springs, from a range of ailments and illnesses.

Today, Altamonte Springs is the bustling retail center of Seminole County. A highly innovative city, it is recognized nationally for its leadership in business-oriented environmental sustainability. A-First is even the name given to the city’s reclaimed water program that uses what other municipalities treat as waste to irrigate the city’s lawns.

A convenient location right in the center of central Florida, a firm base of support services and proactive government that understands the commercial and business needs of today’s economy make Altamonte Springs real estate highly desirable as a place to call home. The bustling population is now more than 40,000. Altamonte Springs is close to Orlando and just 30 minutes from Daytona Beach, making it a place for families, millennials and retirees alike. Add to that, great restaurants, entertainment, recreation and shopping, attractive, safe, and affordable neighborhoods and some of Florida’s best schools. What more can you want in an ideal place to live?

Five public elementary schools, two middle schools and two high schools serve Altamonte Springs and there are six private schools. Seminole State College has a branch in the city the University of Central Florida, Rollins College and the Orlando Branch Campus of Everglades University are all within easy reach.
