Alaqua Lakes Real Estate: Gated Golf Living Near Lake Mary

Alaqua Lakes is a gated golf community in Longwood, in western Seminole County near Lake Mary. Taylor Woodrow Communities built it around the Legacy Club, a private Tom Fazio course that opened in 1998. The separate Alaqua neighborhood, built around Alaqua Country Club and its 1988 Gary Player course, is just southwest.

Single-family homes within about 0.8 miles of the Legacy Club sold for a median of $1,300,000 over the 12 months ending April 2026, based on Seminole County records.

County records, not MLS data. Sales after April 2026 are left out because the county is still recording them. A circle on a map does not follow subdivision lines exactly, so treat these as a close guide to the neighborhood.

The Legacy Club

The Legacy Club at Alaqua Lakes is a private Tom Fazio design. Concert Golf Partners bought it in 2013, and it has offered dual membership with Heathrow Country Club. Club membership is separate from owning a home, so ask about current terms before you make an offer if golf matters to you.

What Homes Sold For

Of the 35 single-family sales, 6 were between $750,000 and $999,999, 22 between $1 million and $2 million, and 7 at $2 million or more, topping out at $3.6 million. The circle also includes some condos and townhomes just outside the gates, which sold for much less.

With this few sales, one estate can move the median a long way. I pull the recorded sales inside the gates and on the same street before we talk price.

HOA and Gate

The Alaqua Lakes HOA runs the gate, pool, tennis courts and pavilion through a management company. No community development district covers the area. Get the HOA estoppel figures and rules early in the contract.

Getting Around

The Seminole Wekiva Trail has a trailhead at Markham Woods Road and Long Pond Road. Approximate drive times: 5 to 10 minutes to Lake Mary, 20 to 25 minutes to Orlando Sanford International Airport, 25 to 35 minutes to downtown Orlando, and 35 to 45 minutes to Orlando International Airport. The Wekiva Parkway (SR 429), finished in 2024, adds a western route.

Schools

Seminole County Public Schools earned an A district grade from the state for 2025-26. Zones change by address and by year, so confirm any home with the district’s school locator before you count on a zone.

Working With Me in Alaqua Lakes

I help buyers compare streets and sections using what homes actually recorded for, not list prices, and I read the HOA and assessment numbers with you before you commit. For sellers, I use the same county records to set a price that holds up when the appraiser looks at it.
