Claudia — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 02:51:46 +0000

Lake Forest is without a doubt one of the most desirable neighborhoods in Seminole County!

Moreover you are within a short drive of the Sanford Marina and historic downtown Sanford that has impressed visitors from all over the country with its historic charme. Visit the Farmer’s Market, one of the many community events, or one of the popular restaurants. Stop by one of the unique and quaint bars for a glass of wine or just go for a romantic walk along the Riverwalk. The options are endless!

New Listing in Astor Farms Sanford

Claudia — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 18:05:27 +0000

If you have been looking to move into Astor Farms, a highly desirable gated neighborhood in West Sanford, here’s your chance: this new listing is not a short sale or bank owned home so is available immediately.

This stunning pool home sits on an oversized magnificent conservation lot. The outstanding curb appeal with 3 car garage and long paver driveway and an elegantly upgraded interior with high ceilings, plantation shutters throughout and beautiful ceramic tile floors is sure to impress everyone.

The gorgeous new double entry front door leads to the spacious formal living and dining room. This home features recent updates worth more than $30,000 – and it shows! Expect model home quality with fresh paint inside and outside as well as brand new carpets.

Further upgrades include stainless steel appliances, low maintenance corian countertops, 42″ wood cabinets and a beautiful backsplash in the kitchen. The large kitchen with lots of (slide out) cabinet space overlooks the spacious family room that opens to the pool area.

The pool and spa invite you to spend your days outside almost year round. The large screened patio, which can also be accessed through the French doors from the formal living room or the Master suite, is summer kitchen ready and still offers plenty of space for a covered outdoor living area and open sun bathing spots throughout. You will cherish this private backyard oasis with screened patio not only after a long day at work but also on a relaxing weekend. The covered patio is ideal for entertaining on warm Florida nights.

The master suite with spacious his and her California walk in closets boasts cathedral ceilings. The luxurious master bath has two separate vanities, a garden tub, and a glass enclosed completely tiled walk-in shower.

What makes the floor plan of this home so special are the many different living areas, serviced by 4 different AC zones, each with its own thermostat. This will not only make things more convenient but also save you lots of energy costs.

Besides the Master, study, formal dining and living and family rooms, you will find a bedroom with adjacent pool bath at one end of the home. This room would make a great mother in law suite or guest room. Then there are 2 well-sized bedrooms across from the master suite and study with French doors.

A highlight of the home is also the huge versatile upstairs bonus room with an amazing view. Make it your media room, office, or game/play room.

This home offers so much convenience, yet so much elegance! Living in Astor Farms will put you within close proximity of all the highlights the Sanford/Lake Mary area has to offer: the Seminole Town Center mall with outstanding shopping and dining is just around the corner and you are just a short drive away from popular entertainment and dining at Colonial Town Park. The Seminole Wekiva bike trail is also in reach within minutes and you can easily visit the Central Florida Zoo, beautiful Sanford Riverwalk and splash pad by Lake Monroe. Historic downtown Sanford with its quaint galleries and antique stores as well as dining and entertainment will surely also become one of your favorite spots.

Church Street Orlando

Claudia — Wed, 23 Nov 2011 16:16:14 +0000

This post is part of our “Mel’s Favorite Neighborhoods” series. Having lived in Central Florida for over 13 years, Melanie got to explore many of Orlando’s most popular areas. Mel is the perfect match for RealEstateWall.com as she can give our readers valuable insight into how it really is to live in a particular neighborhood here in Orlando.

Follow Melanie as she explores Orlando’s most popular neighborhoods. Click here to learn more about Melanie Teel or read more articles written by Melanie.

As part of the Orlando Main Street series, I will cover the details of the districts which are part of the Main Street neighborhoods, all of them rich with history and vibrant with unique culture.

Church Street is located in the heart of downtown Orlando and has remained an entertainment hot spot for decades, dating back to the 70’s when it was a popular tourist attraction.

The Church Street District runs along Church Street between S. Orange Ave and S. Division Ave. This District is working to promote the eclectic mix of historical charm (i.e. Ceviche and MoJo Bar & Grill, both originally part of the Church Street “depot”) and pulsating new energy (i.e. One80 Greygoose Lounge and Club 23) to re-attract both leisure and convention tourism into the heart of downtown Orlando.

Reportedly, the 1970s and 80s brought about more tourism business to downtown Orlando than it has ever seen. Church Street was viewed as an attraction where both locals and tourists would pay an admission charge, which encouraged a certain ease in bouncing from one establishment to another, now known as “club-hopping.” With the development of Downtown Disney and Universal Citywalk, much of the downtown tourism business was redirected back to the theme park side of Orlando.

Part of the Main Street Approach™ for the Church Street District is to utilize the combined talents and energy of the local businesses, residences and commercial members to revitalize the luster that was once historical Church Street.

If you’re interested in participating in the Church Street District Main Street program, visit their website at http://www.churchstreetdistrict.com/index.html for ways to get involved, updated news and various Main Street events taking place.

Finding a Home for College – UCF and Valencia Homes for Sale

Claudia — Wed, 19 Oct 2011 16:52:26 +0000

Are you or your child getting ready to attend college in Orlando? Congratulations! You have made an excellent choice – now be sure to also make a great choice about how and where you will live for the next 2-4 years.

Many students decide to rent and that is definitely an option. In our opinion though, if you have the cash or qualify for a loan, buying a home close to the college of your choice is the way to go in order to not only save money but also make money once you/your child graduates from college.

It is really a no brainer: ideally find a well priced (and boy, there are plenty!) 2-3 bedroom condo or (town)home in a decent area close to campus and rent out a room or two to roommates to lower your monthly mortgage payment. Demand is high for rooms like that so you shouldn’t face any problems renting one.

Then, after graduation, turn around and sell or decide to continue as landlord while your investment becomes even more lucrative.

Two of the most popular schools in Orlando are, of course, UCF and Valencia College (formerly Valencia Community College). Both are located very close to one another (in Zip Codes 23817/32826 and 32825 respectively).

Ready to take a look at some for the amazing real estate deals available close to UCF and Valencia College? All of these homes are located within walking distance or just a short drive (max. 5 minutes) away from either UCF or Valencia College. Many of the objects can be acquired for way below $150,000 or even less than $100,000!

Blanchard Park and Little Econ Greenway – East Orlando’s Hidden Gem

Claudia — Mon, 03 Oct 2011 15:38:10 +0000

If you have recently moved, or are planning to move to East Orlando you very likely may not be aware of the winding trailway through nature that is known to many of the locals as (Jay) Blanchard Park and the Little Econ Greenway.

This park and trail combination is great for families, children, athletes and nearly anyone. Whether you enjoy walking, running, biking, skating, nature sighting, canoeing, picnicking and more, this park and trailway has it all when it comes to activities and nature.

(Jay) Blanchard Park, located at 2451 North Dean Road, Orlando, FL 32817, features gated tennis courts, covered playgrounds for the little ones, soccer fields, basketball courts and plenty of covered pavilions for picnics and other functions.

The Little Econ Greenway is the trail which features riverside recreation, picnicking, wildlife watching and even canoe trails. Click here to visit the trail’s web site or to access a link to the PDF brochure with plenty of detailed information.

Parking is located at (Jay) Blanchard Park, the Econ Soccer Complex (click here for more information about Central Florida soccer clubs), Arcadia Acres and off of Harrel Road on the north side of Colonial Drive (SR 50) and just east of Goldenrod Road.

The trail literally winds for miles along the Little Econ River, where wildlife sightings are nearly guaranteed (Ospreys, Red-Shouldered Hawks, turtles, etc). You should be warned, however, that this winding river is also home to alligators. Although your odds of spotting one are relatively low, the trail management still provides precautionary recommendations, for example: no swimming, no feeding the animals or playing along the water’s edge and keeping animals on leashes, as a friendly reminder of with whom we share this delightful trail

The Little Econ Greenway will eventually link to the University of Central Florida (www.ucf.edu) and continue north to the Cross Seminole Trail through Oviedo and back to Blanchard Park. There are also plans to extend the western terminus of the trail to the Cady Way Trail at Lake Baldwin. The Little Econ Greenway is composed of a 14 foot wide paved surface that extends 7.9 miles from Alafaya Trail to Forsyth Road.

Each month approximately 50,000 people enjoy the Little Econ Greenway and Blanchard Park which open at sunrise and close at sunset. One of the most popular trail heads is located just off of Rouse Road, next to the Blanchard Park YMCA. If you are looking to join a local gym, the “Y” is always a good choice. There are plenty of youth and adult programs and group exercise classes at this gym, including cycling, yoga, water fitness and a multitude of child development sessions. Plus, if you’re a “Y” member, this is a great place to cool off after a run on the trail in the Olympic size lap pool, or with a smoothie from the Tropical Smoothie stand just inside the facility.

No matter what your lifestyle, between Blanchard Park, the Little Econ Greenway and the Blanchard Park YMCA, you’re all set for a satisfying “East Side” experience.

The Last Home in Sterling Meadows

Claudia — Thu, 29 Sep 2011 02:49:09 +0000

Time flies when you’re selling homes! I can still remember when Sterling Meadows, a community of 205 single family homes in Sanford FL, was just started (2008) – and now we just got word from the builder, Centex Homes, that they are down to the very last home.

This home is actually a model home and can be purchased with the furniture so it could be a great buy for someone who is moving up (because this home truly has a lot of space to fill: 3, 514 square feet – with 6 bedrooms and 4 baths, this is the largest floor plan available). The price for all this space is quite a deal: $204, 000. The builder has worked out a monthly payment of only $1,409/month for the new owners.

Here are some of the special features of this home:

Private Back Yard
13” Ceramic Tile in All Wet Areas
Free Standing Shower, Garden Tub, Double Vanity Sinks in Master
Interior Trim and Paint Upgrade
Extended Patio
Pre-wire for a movie room

Sterling Meadows offers its residents a playground and a picnic area with grilles – great to spend some time with your neighbors and friends. The community is conveniently located off Lake Mary Boulevard.

Search Orlando Real Estate Listings on Your Phone

Claudia — Wed, 14 Sep 2011 16:41:02 +0000

Jose and I are super excited to offer one of the Nation’s fastest and most efficient mobile home search apps for your smart phone (and with that we are not referring to mobile homes, even though you can find those as well using the app)! Seriously, it is super simple and ALL of Central Florida’s listings are searchable through the app, guaranteed. If we could offer a money back guarantee we would, but this awesome app is FREE so no point

If you are reading this post on your smart phone (iPhones, the latest Android and Blackberry devices, iPads and iPods) or in Safari or Google Chrome, check it out right away and click here. Best of all is that our mobile real estate search engine is not actually an app you need to download, it’s simply a mobile-optimized website that acts like an app.

For those of you who can’t access the Orlando Mobile Home Search app right away, here is a quick overview of some of the fun things you can do with it:

Input Sliders: Our exclusive sliders make it fun and easy to increase or decrease the beds, baths, and other values included in your search.

Nearby Listings: Use your phone’s built-in GPS to see a map of listings within a given radius of your current location

Who doesn’t have Favorites? With a single click, you can save any property to your Favorites Tab for reference later. We provide an easy way to carry around list of your favorite listings! You can even sync those favorites with your current account just by logging in.

Oversized tabs at the bottom of every page and clear navigation icons make searching easy and intuitive!

Can you say Radius? Type in a starting street address anywhere in Central Florida and search within a radius of anywhere from 1/4 to 20 miles!

You already know those familiar property icons from our Orlando online home search page. Clicking on any property icon lets you see lots of listing details instantly without any reloading. That means faster results for you, the buyer “on the go”. After all, there are more important things to do in life than waiting for a listing detail page to load on your phone, right?

Woodbridge, Woodford, Woodlake, Wood -what?? Don’t remember all of Orlando’s street names. As you type in the first letters our smart app will give you all available options to refresh your memory. Search by street name, number, or full street address and see instant results as you type!

And as usual, there is an easy way for you to contact us on the spot if you see a listing you like or have a question.
