Heathrow, FL

One of the most popular subdivisions in Lake Mary is Heathrow, an unincorporated suburban community in Seminole County. Heathrow is often referred to as its own little town which is why for the purpose of our Seminole County neighborhoods section we are treating it as such.

Developed in 1985 by Jeno Paulucci as a private, gated, master-planned community there are about 2,100 homes in Heathrow (making it a population of approximately 4,000 people). Within Heathrow there are smaller subdivisions, each of them unique because built by different builders in mostly different style/elevations and with different floor plans. Please refer to the list below for a quick overview of the 28 subdivisions within Heathrow and their builders.

The area around Heathrow (including the Markham Woods area) is one of the fastest growing and most desirable areas within Seminole County (North of Orange County/Orlando). A popular leisure and entertainment spot for people living in Heathrow are Colonial Town Park and Park Place at Heathrow, often referred to as “Downtown Heathrow” or the new downtown Lake Mary. Colonial Town Park and Park Place at Heathrow consist of various trendy restaurants & bars (Dexter’s, Carlos & Charlies, Liam Fitzpatrick’s, Vineyard Wine Company, Amura, Corona Cigar Company, Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse, World of Beer, Fishbones, Caddy’s Pub, Applebee’s, Shan, The Cigar Bar, Terra Mia, Silvestros and some more), boutiques, coffee shops, businesses, spas & salons, doctors offices, a grocery store (Publix), and a movie theater (AmStar).All of this is, depending on where you live within Heathrow, within walking distance! Heathrow offers indeed a semi-urban lifestyle that is desired by many!

Heathrow is also located virtually within the Lake Mary business corridor. International Parkway is home to many high tech companies, national and international firms, including Mitsubishi, AT&T, Chase, and the headquarters of the American Automobile Association (AAA). No wonder this area is said to be one of the fastest growing in the state, and even whole country.

The Heathrow/Lake Mary area will put you close to where things are happening in the Central Florida area. This is an area where true residents of Central Florida live and play.  Located only within minutes of Interstate 4 and toll road 417, and only about 20 minutes from Downtown Orlando (19 miles) and Winter Park, Heathrow is a sought after location.You will also be close to the beaches: Daytona and New Smyrna Beach are only a half an hour car ride away.

Heathrow is also great for people who like outdoor activities: plenty of walkways throughout the subdivision and a perfect setting for bike tours, as well as easy connection to International Parkway which connects safely to the popular Seminole Wekiva Trail – ideal for walking, jogging, skating and biking.

Another benefit of living in Heathrow are the excellent schools (Heathrow Elementary and Markham Woods Middle are desirable top rated Lake Mary schools and Sanford’s Seminole High has been recently mentioned in Newsweek as one of America’s top high schools and offers the county’s IB and Health Academy Magnet programs) and safety (the community has two 24/7 guard gated entrances and was rated the 4th safest community in the entire state of Florida). The median household income in Heathrow is, according to the Orlando Sentinel, one of the highest in Central Florida.

Pride of ownership shows throughout the community. Our buyers always notice the excellent upkeep within Heathrow, the manicured lawns and beautiful, mostly idyllic landscaping. In other words, expect to be impressed when you enter Heathrow!

HOA fees in Heathrow can range from anywhere between $150/month to $350/month, depending on on your specific subdivision within Heathrow.

There is a soccer and baseball field, as well as a park available to residents. If you wish to also use the pool, tennis courts or golf course at the Heathrow Country Club there are different packages available at additional fees.
