Orange City Florida Real Estate

Offering a small-town ambiance that includes rolling terrain, golf courses, lush parks, and colorful local festivities, Orange City is nestled at the foot of a pine ridge.  Extensive leisure activities include opportunities for biking and jogging, golf and tennis, swimming, boating, fishing, and sports play.  The natural spring that provides water for the city was discovered in 1891, gaining in notoriety and drawing travelers who stopped for refreshment.  Orange City Utilities is located at the spring site, pumping approximately 26,000 gallons per hour.

Light industry combines with a host of hospitality establishments, antique shops, and shopping centers to meet every need.  Along the outskirts of town are nurseries that grow and export ferns.  The city enjoys a strategic location midway between Orlando and Daytona Beach in close proximity to Interstate 4.  With the county seat of DeLand nearly "built out," Orange City is anticipating even more growth and expansion. Affordable and attractive housing, excellent services, the close proximity of Stetson University, and virtually unlimited recreational opportunities are just a few of the advantages that draw newcomers.
