Condos for Sale in Tangerine, FL

Tangerine, Florida is an unincorporated community of just under 4,000 residents that retains a rural feel, with quiet streets, large lots and mature tropical greenery. The voluntary Tangerine Improvement Society focuses on keeping the area low-density and resisting master-planned development, which appeals to people who want privacy and space. Tangerine borders Lakes Dora, Beauclair, Carlton and Ola, so water-based attractions are close by. Trimble Park offers 71 acres of camping, hiking trails, fishing docks and a boat ramp, while Palm Island Park has a boardwalk on Lake Dora that is popular for sunset views. Deer Island Country Club and Mount Dora Golf Club, both open to the public, add golf to the list of local attractions. Housing ranges from early 20th-century farmhouses and quirky midcentury cottages to Spanish Revival homes from the early 2000s and contemporary new builds, including some large estate-style waterfront properties; homes in special flood zones may require flood insurance, and hurricane season runs June through November. Tangerine is served by highly rated Orange County Public Schools, including Wolf Lake Middle and Apopka High, which offers an Advanced Engineering Applications magnet program, and nearby Mount Dora Christian Academy provides a private, faith-based option. Daily needs are met along U.S. Highway 441, with a local shopping plaza and more dining and shopping less than 5 miles away in Mount Dora’s historic downtown. Commuters typically use Highway 441 for the roughly 30-mile drive to Orlando, and Orlando International Airport is about 40 miles away.
