Market Snapshot & Land Value Trends Recent market data highlights meaningful appreciation in Zellwood values: 2025 Zellwood, FL, Land and Housing Market Summary Zellwood is on the cusp of significant growth. Development pressure has already reshaped the area, most notably with the sale of the iconic Long & Scott Farms, driven by expanding residential and commercial demand. The property is now planned as part of a 700-acre mixed-use development by Omni Development, expected to include a golf course along with residential and commercial components. Wyld Oaks is a 215-acre mixed-use development envisioned as a walkable hub where people can live, work, shop, dine, and play. It’s strategically located near SR-429 (Western Beltway) at W. Kelly Park Road, positioned to serve Apopka’s rapidly growing population. What’s Planned: Residential: Thousands of apartments, condos, and multifamily units Retail & Dining: Hundreds of thousands of square feet for shops, restaurants, and nightlife Office & Medical: Business offices and a dedicated health/medical village Hospitality: Multiple hotel sites for visitors and business travelers Parks & Entertainment: Public parks, trails, a 10-acre nature area (Yonder), outdoor venues, and a destination dog park (BARK) Infrastructure & Tech: Modern utilities with high-speed fiber connectivity throughout. High Demand and Rising Prices: Zellwood was identified as one of Orlando's "hottes markets" in the second quarter of 2025, with strong prices for transitional acreage (land suitable for development) being driven by an ongoing push of development from nearby metropolitan areas. Central Florida Trends: Central Florida in general recorded the highest volume of transitional acreage transactions, a sign of ongoing investor interest in rural holdings for future development. Broader Market Context: While the specific Zellwood market is strong, the broader Florida housing market in late 2025 saw a high supply of active listings statewide, giving buyers more choices and negotiating power in some regions. Property Types: Market activity in Zellwood includes sales of both land parcels for development and existing residential properties, including those in 55+ communities where residents own the land. Vacant land listings in Zellwood currently range from approximately $100,000 to $425,000, with an average asking price near $262,500, based on recent inventory. Collectively, these data points suggest that undeveloped land in and around Zellwood has appreciated substantially over the past decade, particularly when compared to pricing levels 10–15 years ago, prior to the broader Central Florida growth cycle. Key Drivers of Value Appreciation: Several macro and micro-market factors continue to support rising land and property values: 1. Proximity to Orlando & the I-4 Corridor Zellwood benefits from close access to the Greater Orlando employment base, positioning it to capture spillover growth as development pressure expands outward from the urban core. 2. Regional Population Growth Central Florida’s sustained population growth has increased demand for housing, services, and commercial sites—supporting land value appreciation even in historically rural submarkets. 3. Residential Development Activity Major residential communities, including Zellwood Station, have accelerated infrastructure investment and buyer interest, placing upward pressure on surrounding land values.
