Sanford, FL Overview

Serving as the county seat, Sanford boasts an imposing courthouse and city hall near the lakefront, nestled in the heart of the downtown business district.  Ideally located on the shores of scenic Lake Monroe, Sanford is a growing waterfront community with a distinctive, hometown atmosphere. Housing choices in Sanford range from modest bungalows shaded by mature trees to handsome new construction in well-planned developments like Lake Forest.  Lush parks dot the community and complement the landscaped greenery around the marina.  For several decades, the Sanford Naval Air Station contributed to the area's growth and expansion.  However, when a large expanse of the government facility transformed into the Orlando Sanford Airport, the real population explosion began.  Sanford became one of the select gateways to the international entertainment mecca of Greater Orlando.  Because of its manageable size, the airport can accommodate international visitors with speed and efficiency, drawing steadily increasing traffic from Europe.  A growing number of companies now surround the airport's industrial park, adding to the tax base of the community and driving even more residential growth.

Climate and Weather

The Temperature chart displays average high and low values for January and July, and is designed to provide an indication of both seasonal and daily temperature variability. The Weather Risk Index indicates the calculated risk of each type of weather event occurring in the future. This risk is based on historical localized storm events and weather patterns. The national average for each type of weather event equals a score of 100, so a score of 200 would represent twice the risk as the national average, and a score of 50 would represent half the risk of the national average.
