Michael R. Linton, Florida Broker #BK703722, advises investors, owners, tenants and banks on commercial property, small multifamily, land and distressed assets in Apopka and across Orange County through Linton Global Solutions.
Apopka is a working market. Commercial trades below the county median, and much of it is industrial and nursery land, which is exactly what logistics and contractor users want now that the Wekiva Parkway is done.
The Bottom Line on Apopka
Apopka, northwest of Orlando, calls itself the Indoor Foliage Capital of the World, and its nursery and greenhouse roots still shape its commercial base. The Wekiva Parkway (SR 429) and SR 414 now tie it directly to the rest of Metro Orlando, and the city has grown into a large suburb with an industrial edge.
Apopka is a softening housing market, and its commercial property trades at a discount to the rest of Orange County.
- Homes: median list prices of $399,235 to $456,200, up 1.8% in 32703, down 6.9% in 32712 from a year ago; Orange County is down 1.2%.
- Supply: 189 active listings in 32703 (up 6.2%); 223 active listings in 32712 (down 12.4%); 60 to 66 days on market.
- Commercial: median $214 to $252 per square foot, versus $307 countywide.
- Distress: 3 commercial distress transfers or bank-held parcels on the 2026 tax roll.

Apopka is one of the more industrial markets in Orange County. A large share of its commercial parcels are industrial: nursery and greenhouse operations, contractor yards, warehouses and flex buildings along US 441 and near the SR 414 and SR 429 interchanges. That mix is why its price per square foot sits below the county median; buyers are paying for land and utility, not finishes.
Apopka has about 23.3 million square feet of commercial buildings and recorded 114 arm's-length sales at a median $214 to $252 per square foot, below the county's $307. There were 3 distress signals; we score them with Linton Global Technologies' CREDDS Framework (see our distressed commercial real estate hub).
If you’re a small-bay industrial or flex buyer in Orlando, look at Apopka before you look anywhere else. The land is here, the highways are finished, and the pricing hasn’t caught up yet.
