As is the case with many Orlando area, Central Florida communities, Ocoee was founded by citrus growers. Indeed, up until the 1980s, Ocoee was best known for being a citrus growing town nestled nearby the thriving metropolis of Orlando. All of that changed when vicious frosts destroyed thousands of acres of citrus trees in Orange and Lake counties. Devastating those these freezes were, they opened the door to prime residential real estate development in Ocoee. In no time at all, the residential real estate market in Ocoee became a true Floridian jewel.
Ocoee blossomed into the third largest community in Orange County, moving past Winter Park. In point of fact, Ocoee is the most rapidly growing city in Orange County. Through this process, prime real estate development in Ocoee led to tremendous residential options for people who are interested in living the proverbial “good life” in the heart of sunny Florida.
The significant prime real estate development that has occurred in Ocoee now includes magnificent real estate options like lovely lake front states and beautiful custom homes that have been built in a number of new developments in the community.
In order to continued to ensure that people calling Ocoee “home” have access to all of the amenities of the good life, over 1,000,000 square feet of retail space has been opened for business in the past several years, including the magnificent West Oaks Mall. West Oaks Mall is attractive shoppers from all over the Orlando and Central Florida area.
While real estate development – including luxury residences and some of the most sought after homes in the Orlando area – is sweeping Ocoee at the present time, great care is taken to maintain the historic venues that have made this community unique through the years. Progress and tradition have blended perfectly to make Ocoee unique in all of Orange County, in all of the Orlando and Central Florida region.
