Ocoee remained an isolated citrus town clustered around Starke Lake until the 1980's, but now, with nearly 30,000 residents, it has edged ahead of Winter Park to become the third-largest city in Orange County, behind Orlando and Apopka.

Today, Ocoee boasts a 1 million-square-foot regional mall and at least two dozen new subdivisions with homes in all price ranges. Through the years, Ocoee developed into a thriving citrus-producing center. Today, however, housing is the city's hottest commodity. The Florida Turnpike, the East-West Expressway and a new Western Beltway all pass through the city, meaning once-remote downtown Orlando is now just a 15-minute commute. Despite its growth, Ocoee has managed to preserve its past. For example, the annual Founders Day celebration starts with a parade and ends with fireworks. And those who want to soak up some additional local colour may tour the Withers-Maguire House, once a winter refuge for a Confederate general and now a museum. Also of interest is the circa-1890 Ocoee Christian Church, with its gothic architecture and Belgian-made stained-glass windows, as well as several vintage commercial buildings in the original downtown area. New residential development is focused on the northwest side, along the S.R. 429 corridor. A new community center and senior center are slated for the area, while a new high school, aptly named Ocoee High School, opened this year.

Homes and new communities in Ocoee offer homeowners a wide choice of real estate in a variety of budget options.
