Taft, Florida

Taft, Florida is an unincorporated area in the state's popular Orange County. As such, it has a small population of around 2,000 residents at this time. The small community is situated only seven miles away from Orlando, though. This makes it an ideal place to live for people who crave the quiet neighborhoods and suburban lifestyle while still being only minutes away from the big-city stores and conveniences that a metropolitan city has to offer.

Taft real estate properties are concentrated in mobile homes and parks. Rather than traditional homes, the overwhelming majority of residents live in a mobile home community, making the average housing cost around $70,000 for the area. Owners of Taft homes also savor this mixed community because there are people from many different backgrounds and cultures. Everybody learns from each other and they help each other as neighbors ought to do. The low crime rate makes it an attractive place for young families as well as retirees looking for a quiet place to live.

For families with school-aged children, the Cypress Park Elementary School is located within Taft's city limits. Young students can expect to get the best education resources and tools to help them succeed in their academic career. The school has an enrollment of approximately 200 students. This small size means that teachers can take extra time with students who need it in order to ensure that everybody understands the material being presented. Older students in middle school and high school are served by the neighboring communities.

Finding Taft, Florida real estate properties for sale may be difficult to do. Since the town is largely made up of mobile homes, traditional homes are scarce. There are homes, however, in surrounding cities. For instance, Orlando offers elite and affordable homes in neighborhoods like Bella Vista, Baldwin Park, Bronson's Landing, The Estates at Wekiva Park and Warwick at Vista Lake, among others. With the help of a local real estate agent, though, you can find something that fits your individual needs and budget. If you need to, you can even expand your search to include one of the neighboring cities like Kissimmee, Winter Springs and Winter Gardens. See a realtor today and find out what's available for you!
