Sweetwater Cove is one of the small waterfront enclaves that give this corner of Longwood its reputation — mature trees, larger lots, and homes built around the water rather than crammed against a road. It sits in good company alongside neighborhoods like Sweetwater Oaks, Sweetwater Club, and The Springs, all feeding into the well-regarded Lake Brantley High School zone. With downtown Orlando about 22 minutes away, you get a quiet, established setting without giving up the commute.
The market here is thin and high-end, which is normal for a pocket this size. Right now there's a single active listing at $1,350,000, and only two homes changed hands over the past year at a median sold price of $862,500. When Sweetwater Cove homes do come up they move quickly — a median of seven days on market — so buyers should be ready to act when inventory appears.
Sweetwater Cove is a community in Longwood, Florida.
