Apopka Vacation Rentals, Homes, Condos, Villas and Beach Rentals

Apopka is located just 12 miles northwest of Orlando, a peaceful town that encompasses just over 30 square miles and has a population of more than 31,000 residents. The city of Apopka was incorporated in 1882 and ferns became the main industry of the town in 1912, so soon Apopka earned the nickname “Fern City.” More tropical plants were introduced to growers in the area and eventually Apopka became known as “The Indoor Foliage Capital of the World.” Nearby Lake Apopka is a popular fishing lake in the area and is connected by waterways with an extensive central Florida Lake system. Apopka Lake is nearly circular in size and lies on the line between Orange and Lake Counties. Just northeast of Apopka is Wekiwa Springs State Park, approximately 7,000 acres of wild scenic park that offers visitors a chance to see what central Florida looked like when the Timucuan Indians lived here. The Indians left a number of mounds that are still visible today. Popular activities at Wekiwa Springs are swimming and canoeing, and picnic areas and a playground for children are also located in the park. A museum and visitor center houses exhibits on natural and cultural history. Apopka is an easy drive to Disney World and all the other Orlando attractions, and makes a quiet alternative for your “home base” in central Florida.

Apopka Weather & Climate

Central Florida, surrounding the Orlando area, is situated 50 miles from the Atlantic Ocean and 75 miles from the Gulf of Mexico. One of the region's main attractions is the near perfect year-round weather. Mid-Florida's subtropical climate is warm and humid during the summertime with almost daily thundershowers. However, these storms are scattered and generally pass quickly and the sunshine soon returns. Average annual rainfall is over 50 inches per year, keeping Central Florida lush and green all year long. The average elevation of this area is 127 feet above sea level and prevailing winds are southerly at nine mph. Winters in Central Florida are delightful, with warm days and mild evenings, much less humidity than summer and lots of sunshine.
