Sanlando Springs, located between Wekiwa Springs Road and State Road 434, is a suburban and spring-country Wekiwa Springs neighborhood with canopy-lined streets and a close-to-the-water feel. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the SR 434 and Wekiwa Springs Road crossroads, where local plazas, diners, and service storefronts set a steady, everyday rhythm. Housing leans toward mid-century ranches and later Florida contemporary builds, often with broad driveways and mature landscaping. Weekends orbit around the clear-water corridor at Wekiwa Springs State Park and the Wekiva River. Side streets stay quiet, while the main arterials carry most of the motion.
