Why Everyone is Moving to Wildwood

You might have heard the buzz: Wildwood was recently named the fastest-growing city in the United States by U.S. News & World Report. But even with all that growth, it has managed to hold onto its “sparse suburban” soul and small-town charm, ensuring it offers the best of both worlds - the friendly, laid-back atmosphere of small-town Florida with the conveniences and amenities of a growing suburban community.

Known as the Crossroads of Florida, Wildwood sits at the perfect juncture of I-75, Florida’s Turnpike, State Road 44, and U.S. 301. This connectivity makes Wildwood a hub for Central Florida, providing easy access to employment centers, shopping, dining, and entertainment throughout the region. 

Downtown Wildwood: A Destination in the Making

Exciting developments are transforming Wildwood’s character. The city is currently breathing new life into its roots with the Downtown Wildwood development:

• The Railyard, an 8,000 square foot commercial space housing walkable shops, trendy eateries, and community events, is under construction and slated to open this year.
• A linear park will offer a pedestrian-friendly outdoor oasis for casual relaxation and gathering in the heart of downtown.
• A multi-story parking garage, now open, provides free parking to enjoy the downtown business and municipal district.
