A rural city turned Orlando bedroom community
The Central Florida city of Minneola, once acres of orange groves, has steadily transformed from a once-sleepy rural area into a full-fledged bedroom community of 16,000 located just outside Orlando. "The developers have done a masterful job of putting the new Minneola community together, with quality homes, the new South Lake Medical Center and a great variety of retailers and restaurants,” says Mike Mondello, a resident and a Realtor with RE/MAX Properties SW since 2011.
Lake Minneola is a large lake on the west side of town.
Lake Minneola features many waterfront homes.

Residents gather for annual and monthly events
December is busy with many Christmas events, including the Moonlight Christmas Parade, which travels from Virginia Street to Pearl Street and ends with Santa’s Workshop at city hall, where kids can meet Santa and play games. During the summer, Minneola Trailhead Park hosts Movie in the Park, a free, family-friendly evening of entertainment. The Minneola Farmers Market and Food Trucks event takes place the fourth Wednesday of every month from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. and offers a chance to buy local produce and grab dinner.
Residents get around on Florida's Turnpike and Highway 27
Florida’s Turnpike connects to Orlando International Airport, less than 40 miles away, and much of Central Florida. Highway 27 runs along the east edge of Lake Minneola and is an especially convenient thoroughfare for getting around. From there, Mondello says, "You can get on Highway 50 and visit both of Florida's coasts in about an hour and a half."
