Known for its signature Zellwood Sweet Corn, filled with tractor pulls and surrounded by farms and lakes, Zellwood is a neighborhood for those wanting a taste of the simple life. “Residents are attracted to Zellwood for how secluded it is. There’s a small-town feel, with rural cornfields and citrus orchards and lots of quiet,” says Keith Leveson, Realtor at MVP Realty with over 20 years of business experience in Central Florida. While residents are in a small town, they still have access to highly-rated schools and easy convenience to larger cities like Orlando.
