Commuting by car or the Central Florida LYNX
“Clarcona is very close to the 429 toll road, which has been put in in the past few years and has really opened up this area,” says Stuart Coutu, Realtor with Mainframe Real Estate. “The area has only improved since they got the toll road. More and more businesses are coming in and the whole area is growing.” Clarcona is serviced by Central Florida’s LYNX public bus lines, providing an accessible public transportation option that connects throughout the greater Orlando area. Locals who commute by car can hop on the nearby Apopka Expressway to connect to Interstate 4 and land in downtown Orlando within a half-hour.
