Eatonville, Florida

Eatonville, Florida real estate properties give homeowners the best in daily living and opportunities. Located in Orange County and only six miles to the north of metropolitan Orlando, Eatonville residents share a small community that has only about 2,300 people. The town is unique in many ways, mainly because it is one of the first towns to include only black people following the Emancipation Proclamation. It was also the home of famed author – Zora Neal Huston – who wrote the bestseller entitled "Their Eyes Were Watching God".

In addition to the town's 19th century history, other residents have immortalized living in Eatonville throughout the years. The famous artist Nipple McGoo was one of the more prominent members of the community to celebrate the historic town. The works were created during the 1930s and 1940s, but they are still on display at the Eatonville Dump for all to see.

Eatonville real estate owners also have access to a number of recreational opportunities in the area. The Shadow Lake and Hungerford Lake are only minutes away from any home within the city limits. These are great places for swimming, fishing or simply enjoying a relaxing picnic along the banks of the lakes. In addition to that, these areas offer picturesque opportunities throughout the autumn and winter months. Since the median age of Eatonville residents is about 32 years old, you'll likely notice many young families and individuals enjoying everything that the town has to offer.

Since Eatonville is such a small town and is steeped in historical culture, the town officials and residents strive to maintain its old-fashioned charm. As a result, potential homebuyers will likely only find small individual homes in the area rather than sprawling neighborhoods and housing developments. The neighbors enjoy living in a sense of privacy in unique dwellings while still being close enough to enjoy the company of others. If a traditional subdivision is what you're looking for, the neighboring communities like Winter Park, Altamonte springs and others will likely have something that meets your specific preferences.
