Apopka means “big potato”. Though once a quaint and unheard of little town, Apopka has become one of the fastest growing towns in Central Florida.

When my husband and I moved here in 2002, we had no idea of the growth potential that would later arrive.

Traffic in Apopka is just as bad, if not worse, than traffic on 436 or I-4, mainly because we only have a four lane road. There has been many new subdivisions and businesses added within the last few years. About two years ago, Bubbalou’s Bodacious BBQ arrived on Park Avenue and The Home Depot took up residence on the northern end of Hwy 441.

Now, we have Chili’s, Staples and Lowe’s on the way. No longer do Apopkans have to drive to Altamonte to get what need… Apopka has what we need and more.
