Spring State Park, a 518-acre park designated as a manatee refuge area and the scenic St.
Johns river provide residents with access to the pristine beauty of Florida. Affordable
housing, excellent city services, low taxes, low crime rates, well-maintained parks and
access to shopping at leading national chain stores combine to make Orange City a great
place to live, work and play. |
