The quiet nature of Orange City Terrace
Bordered on one side by the natural beauty of Blue Spring State Park and the growing streets of Orange City on the other, Orange City Terrace has carved out a peaceful spot for itself. Completely residential and just 2 miles from the very center of the city, it’s a suburb that’s garnering new attention from potential residents. “Everyone says ‘location, location, location,’ but seriously, we’re 30 minutes from the beach and 45 minutes from Orlando. Plus, Orange City is far enough inland where floods and hurricanes aren’t as much of a concern,” so buying into neighborhoods here is an environmental move,” says Chuck Shaver, Realtor with The Shaver Group of Keller Williams Heritage Realty. He’s been a resident of Central Florida since 1985.
Orange City Terrace is located minutes from Blue Springs State Park and the St Johns River.
Many L-shaped ranches dot the streets of Orange City Terrace.

The architectural styles and aesthetic of the houses are Florida-classic, with ranch homes and stucco bungalows painted in earth tones and bright pops of color.
