Interesting not a word about sports.. one of our own was Pitching in the last 2 World Series.. several have played in the Super Bowl.. one in the NFL hall of fame.. many others in MLB and NFL . The high school had produced numerous state Champs in several sports... I'm nearly a 3rd generation Apopkan .. the city had changed.. it was a lot of fun growing up there... we have also had many musicians as well!!

I just came to the comment section to see if I could find some familiar names lol. But I did also want to mention what a great job you did showcasing some of what Apopka has to offer. Its so funny having a random video recommended to me that not only mentions the town I was born, raised, and still currently live in, but also mentions my family. Pretty neat!

@Joshsmoove 2 года назад

People are complaining about building more around apopka, but there is a need for all the residents moving to the area. You simply cannot keep things the same. Some of the established areas are in need of renovation as well. As apopka grows, so will the homes that everyone lives in.

@La8mode 2 года назад

So fix the affected areas before cutting down wildlife! There is plenty of other areas in The Orlando metro area that are built up and need fixing as well. Go there! We as humans don’t learn, there is a balance to everything natural and we just keep knocking away at it to fit our needs as if we shouldn’t be the ones working to live with nature….

@Joshsmoove 2 года назад

@Jamaal Christopher possibly so, but you have to question: Are those areas in worse condition than apopka? If you fix those areas, it will force lower class residents to live outside of them. Apopka just needs updating. Most of the trees, from what I've seen that are getting knocked down, are along toll road 414. I get it, though trees are needed to live, but with the new residences, they are implanting new ones.

@DOOMFISH360 Год назад

I’ve a soft spot for Apopka as I stayed there for 2 weeks in August 1991. Best holiday ever. I’ve searched and searched for the Bungalow we stayed in on Google maps but just can’t find it. I know I’m in the right area but the memory has faded. I remember it was a short drive from the cinema on one of the main drags and there was lakes everywhere. I also remember walking down to a communal pool.

@bigtimetorifan 2 года назад

Great overview. I live down the street from Toll Brothers ‘the oaks’. Moved here about 2 1/2 years ago. Coming from Kissimmee, where there was a ton to do, there really is not a lot of restaurants or stores w/in a 15 minute drive. That’s a drawback. But With that new retail space you brought up at the beginning of the video it looks like that ‘drawback’ may soon disappear! .

@antoniomontana9430 2 года назад

35 minutes to Orlando International Airport? If you own a helicopter yes, but with the traffic and congestion on the I-4 lately, it's close to an hour!

@eddiecruz9683 2 года назад

Are you walking to the airport? Never took me more than 30-40 mins even in morning rush hour times. So stop it.

@antoniomontana9430 2 года назад

@@eddiecruz9683 No I'm driving on the I4 from Apopka not far from Wekiva State Park. Traffic gets so bad that I often opt to take 436 (Semoran Blvd) instead all the way down to the airport.

@seandavis2520 2 года назад

Even in the 70s you couldn't make it to the airport in 35 mins.

@kenpozek 2 года назад

Jump on your google maps or waze app. Test it out. Currently 37 minutes even with an accident on 429. Rush hour (heck hours) might make it more like 45-50, but I clocked it multiple times a throughout the day to come up with that number 🤷🏻‍♂️

@chadlopez1845 2 года назад

I lived there in the 90s and it was never under 40 minutes to get to the airport.

@frankantonio6508 2 года назад

its oblivious Ken you don't live in Apopka, 35 minutes from airport? 18 min. to Mt Dora?

@antoniomontana9430 2 года назад

I've already stated that it takes me close to an hour to drive to the airport given the congestion on I-4. I opt to take 436 down to the airport instead even though I'm hitting traffic lights, but it's better than sitting in traffic on the I-4.

@seandavis2520 2 года назад

It takes 15 to 25 mins to get to downtown mt dora from Apopka depending on where you live and which way you go.. so 18 is somewhat an average

But am also disappointed in all the apartments that are being built.

@@MissGabriela829 every corner in central Florida now they are building apartments :( areas where it used to be so pretty with trees but they aren't building enough regular single family homes.

@blackknight597 2 года назад

Awesome video! It’s great that all those talking points you made show that investment here is dependent on your patience and awaiting of the vision of what gov’t and locals want their city to look like. When I was scoping Toll Brothers Lakeshore years ago (missed that opportunity) for new construction there was literally nothing around you. It was barren. So the leap of faith was more based around proximity to Disney and it’s features. Now look at those prices today and the surrounding area! Give this about five years or so and this place will be sprawling like the rest of Orlando. I feel this market fits the “Early bird gets the worm” category in terms of equity and future growth.

@EFMM79 2 года назад

I hope that never happens. Barren? You mean green spaces right?

@blackknight597 2 года назад

@@EFMM79 Nah it looked pretty barren then in that surrounding area. Not that green then. Now it’s beautiful and very sophisticated. Great investment for those that jumped on it. Shoutout to them! Some friends of mine even suggested they may sell in Winter Garden because it’s becoming crowded compared to when they first moved in. Their quiet life expectations and quality of life are changing their feelings about it. To each their own though. :)
