Kitchens across Seminole County: what local homes call for
If you own a home in Seminole County, its age matters more than its address. Median homes here date to roughly 1991, ranging from 1981 (Altamonte Springs) to 1997 (Sanford), so scope and budget vary a lot from one community to the next.
County-wide, median home value is about $390,000 (about 17% above the national median of $333,000), with Altamonte Springs at the lower end near $312,000 and Oviedo at the top near $471,000.
Roughly 66% of households in these communities own their home and 69% of the housing is single-family. Only about 10% of homes predate 1970, so most Seminole County projects are about finishes, storage and flow rather than hidden repairs.
