One of West Sanford’s most unique neighborhoods is The Preserve at Astor Farms. Built in the early 2000s by Engle Homes, Landstar, and later Toll Brothers (which bought Landstar Homes), this subdivision features some of the most unique home styles and architectural features in the entire Orlando area. Home lots on the Engle side of the subdivision are up to almost 1/2 acre large, however none of the Engle homes were built in Tudor style.

- Nature: The Preserve at Astor Farms is located inside a preserve providing its residents with the ultimate nature experience available in the area. The Black Bear Wilderness Area and the Lower Wekiva State Preserve are regions designated by the state as a protection area for wildlife and their habitat. So don’t be scared – you might see a bear every once in a while. Other than that, you will most likely see deer and all kinds of birds, including the American Bald Eagle.
