Sweetwater Cove sits in the wooded western reaches of Longwood, part of the same well-established stretch of Seminole County that gave rise to neighbors like Sweetwater Oaks, Sweetwater Club, and the tree-canopied The Springs. Homes here run large and private, with waterfront and pool properties among the mix, and the neighborhood feeds into Sabal Point Elementary, Rock Lake Middle, and Lake Brantley High. It's the kind of pocket where lots are generous, mature oaks do the landscaping, and the pace stays quiet.
Inventory is genuinely tight — there's a single active listing at the moment, priced at $1,350,000 for a roughly 3,362-square-foot home, which works out to about $402 per square foot. Over the past year only two homes changed hands, at a median sold price of $862,500, and sellers pulled in about 95% of asking. With a median of just 7 days on market, a serious buyer here needs financing lined up and a willingness to move quickly.
