A historic community close to Downtown Sanford
Founded in 1891, Goldsboro is the second oldest African American-founded township in the United States. Although annexed into Sanford more than a century ago, Goldsboro is proud of its history and the important historical figures who resided there, from author Zora Neale Hurston to the baseball player Jackie Robinson. "It's really the heart of Sanford; it's a very nice quaint historic neighborhood," says Selena Peterson, a local Realtor at LPT Realty with over $20 million in sales in the Lake Mary area. Museums and locally owned establishments preserve the history of this community. In contrast, community centers and new residential developments provide opportunities for local growth.

Goldsboro's local diners and Downtown Sanford's eateries
Beyond the turquoise walls of Roni's is a small diner that locals claim serves chicken and waffles the way grandma cooked it. Residents rave about Donuts To Go, a small pastry shop that covers their homemade donuts in decadent toppings. "The community's really close to Downtown Sanford," says local Realtor Selena Peterson. Not only does the chic Mexican restaurant El Zocalo serve sizzling molcajete and stuffed empanadas, but they also have a six-page cocktail menu and outdoor seating. Patrons enjoy homestyle Southern comfort dishes at Shantell's Just Until Restaurant, which also hosts weekly art shows and karaoke nights. Franchise retailers like Winn-Dixie are where locals get most of their groceries.

Established homes and newer construction in Goldsboro
Goldsboro has several home styles to choose from, including cozy bungalows and Craftsmen styles with columned porches. Many modest ranch homes have colorful exteriors and stone ornamentation, mostly dating back to mid-to-late 20th-century developments. However, a swath of brand-new single-family houses and townhomes have been built in Goldsboro. "It's a growing community; there's a lot of new builds coming in, building the community up," says local Realtor Selena Peterson. Most homes have carports and are connected by wide streets with sidewalks providing routes for joggers and cyclists. Home prices vary depending on the size and age of the house. For example, smaller and older ranch-style houses range from $200,000 to $400,000. Alternatively, newer contemporary houses and townhomes can cost anywhere from $320,000 to $550,000.
