Alaqua Lakes - Private Guard-Gated Golf Community in Longwood, Florida

Anyone who knows about luxury-home living in Central Florida will tell you Alaqua Lakes is a highly desirable, prestigious address. The community's unique layout features a Tom Fazio-designed private golf course winding through the development which gives each estate home a stunning view of the fairways, woods or water. Much of the landscaping of pines, oaks, palms and other native trees has been in its natural state.

A seven-acre community park draws residents to the multi-purpose field for soccer or football, or to the courts for basketball or volleyball. Playground equipment in two areas encourages younger children to swing, slide or climb to their heart's content. A resort-style pool with a lush island atmosphere is perfect for swimming or sunbathing and a nearby wading pool was designed just for tots. Lighted tennis courts are available day or night, plus there are special tennis clinics, socials, a teen summer camp, and a tennis pro at the ready for private lessons.

The Alaqua Lakes Ladies Association is responsible for a variety of social activities throughout the year such as the Couple’s Game Night, Wine Tasting Club, Ladies’ Day Out, Garden Club, Ladies’ Luncheon, Dinner Club,  and Helping Hands Committee. They also are active in many charitable functions. Among those supported are Breast Cancer Research and Safehouse of Seminole.

Legacy Club, the 18-hole, 7160-yard golf course that forms the stunning backdrop for the community, is one of only 56 courses worldwide registered with the Audubon International Signature Cooperative Sanctuary Program. Both designer and developer were devoted to retaining indigenous plants in the community and creating undisturbed areas where wildlife could flourish. Residents on an early morning walk or leisurely bike ride may see deer, red-tailed hawk, turkeys and other wildlife that have become part of the beauty of this unusual community. Along with having a premier course rated 4-and-a-half stars by "Golf Magazine," Legacy Club has an 11,000 square foot clubhouse for dining and social venues, a 10-acre practice facility with video equipment, and a 40,000 square foot driving range with separate putting, chipping and bunker areas.

Shopping, fine dining, business centers and additional parks and lakes are nearby in Lake Mary. Plus more championship golf courses—Heathrow, Timacuan and Magnolia Plantation—are just minutes away.

Adding to the attraction of Alaqua Lakes for families is its location in Seminole County which is rated as the number one school district in Central Florida and in the top 100 in the nation by "Money Magazine." Combine that with the spectacular beauty and active lifestyle afforded by the community, and Alaqua Lakes becomes the golf community of choice for any homebuyer who desires a luxury estate home in unmatched scenic surroundings.

(Located in Longwood, just west of I-4 and Lake Mary and about 20 minutes northeast of Orlando.)
