Academy Manor is a residential community in Sanford, Central Florida.
Academy Manor sits within Sanford. These are active listings across the wider area.
Academy Manor traces back to 1961, when its first section was platted in Sanford, and the subdivision has been recorded and sold in numbered phases ever since, with Academy Manor Unit 01 the original filing. Because the plat opened more than sixty years ago and infill construction has continued on scattered vacant lots, recorded build years across the community run from 1961 all the way into the current decade.
That long build window shows up in the housing stock. Living areas range from roughly 836 square feet in the earliest cottages to about 2,224 square feet in the newer infill houses, so two neighboring lots can hold homes separated by half a century of construction standards. The plat is laid out on a conventional grid of rectangular interior lots, and the product is detached single-family throughout, with no attached or condominium sections.
Academy Manor is not gated and carries no community pool or clubhouse. Carrying costs are modest by Seminole County standards, with average annual property taxes across the plat reported near $1,457.
Academy Manor is served by Seminole County Public Schools. The buyer case is an entry-price detached house in an established Sanford plat, with the tradeoff that condition varies widely lot to lot.
