If you are looking for a small Florida town to move to either as a home or business, Minneola has several factors to consider. First, it is 30 minutes west of Orlando and that city is growing steadily. People need a place to live and want one that has a big fresh water lake along side it. That's Minneola. Secondly, the areas to the northwest are already more populated so as the Orlando and Leesburg boundaries reach towards each other, this town is located along a major connection between the two.

This means that land bought now will be worth more to developers later. A smart place for an ape to look for a good sized plot as a home and then re-sell when you are ready to retire to Florida.

Wait a minute. Where exactly DO people in Florida retire to?
