History Of Orange Grove Park subdivision

Construction of Orange Grove Park began in June of 1984 by the Anden Group home builders. The site was an orange grove, killed by a freeze earlier, that the Anden Group developed into 200 homes divided into four construction phases.

The model homes were constructed on N Jerico Dr. near Red Bug Lake Rd. that year. The first homes were sold in phase one starting in August 1984. Final construction was finished in 1988.

The subdivision is a deed-restricted community governed by a Board of Directors which enforces the OGPHOA Covenants, By-laws, and Amendments. Please see the Links section below to view the documents. The Board contracts with a Property Management firm to provide bookkeeping and to assist the Board in managing our community. The OGP Neighborhood Watch assists the Sheriff's Office in observing for crime and other issues.

The subdivision is bordered by Red Bug Lake Park, a Seminole County Park. It features a boardwalk to the lake, walking paths, picnic pavillions, barbecue grills, tennis courts, and handball courts. Facility reservations may be made at the Park Ranger Station in the park.

OPG has it's own entrance to the park on Wesson Dr. near the retention pond.
