Oviedo
The short version: Oviedo is Seminole County's tree-canopied family suburb, about 12 to 16 miles northeast of downtown Orlando and minutes from UCF, with a small but active new-construction set of its own: Beazer's Aulin Square and Towns at Greenleaf inside town, plus D.R. Horton's Concorde in nearby Sanford. Just northwest, the Lake Mary and Heathrow corridor carries a Toll Brothers and Lennar presence that extends the practical Seminole County field.

What makes Oviedo distinctive
What makes Oviedo different from the rest of Seminole County?
Oviedo's identity is its trees and its schools. The city is known for oak-canopied streets, a walkable historic downtown around Oviedo on the Park, and a long-standing reputation as one of the metro's most popular family suburbs. Unlike the master-planned corridors on the west and south sides of Orlando, new construction in Oviedo is selective and infill-style: individual communities rather than giant master plans, which keeps inventory lower and phases smaller.
Oak canopy
Live oaks line the older streets and downtown, the visual signature of the town.
Family suburb
Seminole County schools and a long-standing reputation as a top family address.
UCF corridor
Minutes from the University of Central Florida campus and its surrounding employment.
Community-scale building
Selective infill communities like Aulin Square and Towns at Greenleaf, not giant master plans.
Builders & communities
Which builders are building new homes in Oviedo now?
The new-construction picture in Oviedo proper is compact and centered on Beazer Homes. Aulin Square sits in the Aulin community off Aulin Avenue, within walking distance of downtown and just down the road from Oviedo High School, and it mixes single-family and townhome plans. Towns at Greenleaf is a 33-home townhome community in the Alafaya Woods area of southeast Oviedo, near the Cross Seminole Trail and about a mile and a half from Oviedo Mall.
The practical Seminole County market extends beyond city limits. D.R. Horton's Concorde is in Sanford to the north, and Toll Brothers and Lennar both carry an active presence in the Lake Mary and Heathrow corridor to the northwest. Because Oviedo's own inventory is limited, most buyers compare an Oviedo community against these nearby corridors rather than within Oviedo alone.
Buyers' tip: Oviedo's communities are small and their phases sell quickly. If the plan and lot you want are gone in one phase, the same builder or a neighbor often has a release coming a few weeks out, so it pays to be registered with the sales team.

Oviedo FAQ
What buyers ask about Oviedo
Where is Oviedo, and how far is it from Orlando?
Oviedo is a city in northwestern Seminole County, about 12 to 16 miles northeast of downtown Orlando, in the part of the metro locals think of as the UCF corridor. It is a tree-canopied suburb known for its live oaks, with the University of Central Florida campus a short drive to the south and the Lake Mary, Heathrow, and Sanford corridor to the north along I-4. Downtown Orlando is roughly 25 to 35 minutes by car depending on traffic, and Orlando International Airport is about 30 to 40 minutes away. It is one of the most established family suburbs in the metro, and new construction here is selective, concentrated mostly inside and around the edges of town.
See Oviedo on the interactive mapWhich builders are building new homes in Oviedo and nearby Seminole County now?
Public listing data in October 2026 shows a modest but active new-construction set in and around Oviedo. Beazer Homes sells two Oviedo communities: Aulin Square, in the Aulin community just off downtown, and Towns at Greenleaf, a townhome neighborhood in the Alafaya Woods area near the Cross Seminole Trail. Just north of Oviedo, D.R. Horton lists Concorde in Sanford. In the Lake Mary and Heathrow corridor to the northwest, Toll Brothers and Lennar both maintain a presence, which extends the practical Seminole County new-home field well beyond Oviedo's city limits. Availability shifts by phase, so confirm the current release sheet with each builder or with the GPG Team.

Read the incentives guide before comparingWhat surrounds Oviedo: Lake Mary, Heathrow, and Sanford?
Oviedo sits at the southern end of Seminole County's busiest employment and development corridor. Lake Mary and Heathrow, to the northwest along I-4, are where Toll Brothers and Lennar carry their northern Seminole presence, with Lake Mary known as a corporate and financial office hub. Sanford, to the north, is where D.R. Horton's Concorde community sits, anchored by the historic downtown along the St. Johns River waterfront and the Sanford-Lake Mary area's schools and parks. For a buyer who wants Oviedo's schools and oak-canopied streets, these nearby corridors broaden the inventory without leaving the county.

Oviedo's commute is strongest to the south and west. The UCF campus and its surrounding employment are minutes away, SR 434, SR 426, and Mitchell Hammock Road provide the local grid, and downtown Orlando is roughly 25 to 35 minutes by car depending on traffic. Sanford, Lake Mary, and Heathrow are convenient along the north side of the county, and Orlando International Airport is about 30 to 40 minutes away via SR 417. Peak-hour traffic on the local arterials and SR 417 can stretch times, so the Orlando Commuter Cheat Sheet is a useful planning tool.
Get the free commuter cheat sheetHow do schools work for Oviedo new construction?
Oviedo and the rest of Seminole County are served by Seminole County Public Schools, and assignment follows the exact address of the home rather than the community name. Boundaries shift as enrollment grows and new campuses are planned, so confirm the current assignment for the specific homesite with the district before you sign, and ask the builder about any planned schools nearby. The schools and new construction guide covers how to verify an assignment for a home that may not be built yet.
