Renter's guide to Apopka, FL

When considering Florida as a potential place to live, many people tend to focus on the larger cities – like Orlando, Jacksonville, Miami, and Tampa – and overlook the smaller towns. As a result, the larger cities tend to be more crowded, the cost of living in those cities goes up, and what once seemed like an attractive option is now a little less so.

Apopka offers access to the same big city amenities, but with a lower cost of living. Located 20 miles west of Orlando and known as the “Indoor Foliage Capital of the World,” at 33.2 square miles, Apopka is about one-third the size of Orlando.

As with most cities in Florida, the weather in Apopka is typically very warm year-round, ranging from an average of 71°F in January to an average of 92°F in August. Humidity is consistently in the 70%-95% range.

If you’re a friendly person, you’ll feel right at home here. Forbes rated it 14^th friendliest city in the United States. If that weren't enough, NerdWallet named Apopka one of the top cities in Florida for young families.

Tips for renting in Apopka, FL

When renting a new place, always ensure that your home meets the livability standards set for Apopka.

For example, the apartment must be free of any structural issues, have working plumbing, hot water, and heating, have reasonable security features (such as locking doors and windows), and be free of pests.

As a renter, if your apartment does not meet these standards, it's the landlord’s responsibility to pay for whatever repairs or work is necessary.

If they don't, you have the right to withhold rent, as long as you give your landlord seven days' written notice.
