[edit] Geography

According to the United States Census Bureau, the CDP has a total area of 0.9 km² (0.3 mi²), all land.

The neighborhood is built on land formerly used for orange groves and named after the tangelo, a particular hybrid of citrus that mixed tangerines and pomelos. Originally built as housing for workers at the nearby missile testing grounds, it has become an isolated residential area surrounded by big-box stores and tourist traps on International Drive, as well as office parks and resorts to the east. There are few services nearby that serve residents and few public transit options.
