Unlike most SunRail stations, which feature canopies consisting of white aluminum poles supporting sloped green roofs, Longwood's canopies have traditional brown gabled roofs with cupolas and faux dormer windows. It also includes ticket vending machines, ticket validators, emergency call boxes, drinking fountains, separate platforms designed for passengers in wheelchairs. The station is located along the former CSX A-Line (originally constructed by the South Florida Railroad) northeast of the Longwood Historic District on the north side of East Church Avenue. The northbound platforms run along John L. Mica Way, with passenger drop-off areas at the north and south ends of the station. A transit-oriented development called Weston Park was built adjacent to the station, which features a 208-unit, four story luxury apartment community.[3]
