About Seminole County, FloridaSituated between Orlando's business center, the area's theme parks and the Volusia County beaches, Seminole County offers exceptional access to the best of Central Florida. Primarily a residential area, and known for many years simply as a collection of bedroom communities, the county now attracts many businesses, industries and tourists.
Housing is available in a wide range of prices, from very affordable to among the most expensive. Many of the county's residents are part of the active retail sales industry, exemplified by Seminole Towne Center, one of the state's largest enclosed shopping malls. International trade is growing in significance here, with Cincinnati Bell Information Systems, AT&T and the national headquarters for AAA on the corporate scene.
With approximately 185 lakes, Seminole County offers unlimited recreational opportunities. The county carefully protects these natural resources, which include Lake Monroe and the scenic St. Johns River, with its moss-draped cypress trees and the springs at Wekiwa Springs State Park. The Central Florida Zoological Park is here, and is a popular attraction for both residents and tourists.
