Oviedo, Florida is known for its historic houses and buildings, as well as its population of chickens that roam the downtown area.

Several national publications have placed Oviedo on their nationally ranked lists as one of the best places to live in the US.
The city of Oviedo has received several accolades in national publications:
- Oviedo was listed as one of the Top 10 Towns for Families in Family Circle's August 2011 issue.

Just 20 miles northeast of the attraction-intensive city of Orlando, Oviedo retains a rural feel. In fact, it’s famous for the chickens that still roam freely through the city’s historic downtown. Oviedo’s roots date to 1865, when homesteaders settled along the shores of Lake Jesup. Today, it's a growing city that steadfastly maintains its small-town feel: airboat rides, a farmer’s market that offers local produce on the first Saturday of every month. Oviedo, within an easy drive of Central Florida’s mega-attractions, has it all.
