For buyers who commute to Orlando, the SunRail can change the math on where to live. Longwood has a station on the line, and homes near it offer an alternative to sitting on Interstate 4 every morning.
CasaLuna Townhomes is located at 241 N Oak Street in Longwood, near the city’s historic downtown and the Longwood SunRail station. This guide explains what to check before buying near the rail line, and how to decide whether a transit-adjacent townhome fits your routine.
What the SunRail is
The SunRail is Central Florida’s commuter rail service. It connects communities across the region, including stations in Seminole County and Orlando. Schedules, fares, parking, and service patterns can change, so use SunRail’s official site for current details.
For a Longwood resident, the practical question is not simply “is there a station?” It is whether the station’s schedule and route line up with your workday, and whether you can get from home to the platform without adding a long drive.
Why Longwood is a practical base
Longwood sits in Seminole County, north of Orlando. The city has a historic downtown, established neighborhoods, and access to I-4. That combination gives residents options: drive, take the train, or mix both depending on the day.
Compared with newer suburbs farther from Orlando, Longwood also offers a more established setting. Buyers who want new construction but do not want to be at the edge of the metro area often look at smaller infill projects like CasaLuna.
What to check before buying near the SunRail
- Your actual commute. Test the drive to the station at the time you would normally leave. Check parking availability and the walk from the platform to your destination.
- Train frequency. Compare the schedule with your work hours. A train that works for a standard schedule may not work for early shifts, late nights, or frequent meetings.
- Last-mile options. Find out how you will get from the station to your office or job site. Some commuters use a shuttle, bike, scooter, or a short walk; others still need a car.
- Hybrid work. If you only go into the office two or three days a week, the value of a transit-adjacent home may depend on flexibility rather than daily use.
- Noise and activity. Visit at different times of day. Rail lines can be convenient and still create noise or visual impact depending on the home’s position.
- Total housing cost. Compare the townhome price, HOA, taxes, insurance, and commuting costs together. A lower fare or less parking can offset part of the housing cost.
CasaLuna’s location

The location puts residents near Longwood’s historic downtown, local roads, and the Longwood SunRail station. It is not a promise that every buyer can commute without a car. It is a location that gives you more options than a community farther from the line.
See the CasaLuna community page for current details, or review the floor plans.
Who tends to prefer transit-adjacent townhomes
Buyers who work in downtown Orlando or along the line, want to reduce daily driving, or value a central Seminole County location often find this type of home appealing. Buyers who need a large yard, a workshop, or full separation from neighbors may prefer a single-family home instead.
That is the real decision: not townhome versus single-family in the abstract, but which location and maintenance level fits your daily life.
