About Longwood
Longwood is a historic railroad town of about 16,000 with one of Seminole County's most intact old-Florida downtowns — brick streets, the Bradlee-McIntyre House (Queen Anne Victorian, 1885), and the Central Florida Railroad Museum. Housing mixes historic district cottages, mid-century ranch neighborhoods, and newer subdivisions near Big Tree Park. It has an arts-and-crafts festival identity and sits beside the Cross Seminole Trail and ancient cypress swamps, giving it a small-town-with-trails feel unusual this close to Orlando.
