Floral City, FL

Located in southeastern Citrus County along the southern edge of Tsala Apopka Lake, Floral City offers a peaceful taste of classic Old Florida living. Massive live oaks draped in Spanish moss shade the historic district along Orange Avenue, where charming century-old homes still line the roadway. Life here revolves around the outdoors, with the lake's interconnected waterways offering great freshwater fishing and boating. Cyclists and joggers also take full advantage of the Withlacoochee State Trail, a paved 46-mile path that cuts right past the heart of town.
