Sylvan Pond FAQs
Is Sylvan Pond a good place to live?+
It's a quiet, established corner of Alafaya with an easy 13-minute drive to downtown Orlando and 22 minutes to the airport. Families are zoned for University High, Legacy Middle, and Lawton Chiles Elementary, and the surrounding neighborhoods feel settled rather than transient.
Is Sylvan Pond expensive?+
It sits in a mid-market range for east Orlando — homes here have sold at a median of $374,000 over the last year. Rentals run around $2,295 a month, which is in line with much of the Alafaya area.
What do homes cost in Sylvan Pond?+
The most recent 12 months saw 3 homes sell at a median price of $374,000. There are no active listings at the moment, so pricing on the next home to hit will depend heavily on its condition and size — worth tracking on the live map.
How is the market here?+
It's a low-volume, tightly held market — only 3 homes changed hands in the past year and nothing is currently listed. Sellers averaged 97% of asking, so expect to move quickly and negotiate on realistic terms when inventory appears; the broader Alafaya homes for sale give more options in the meantime.
What about HOA fees and property taxes?+
Specific HOA and property tax figures aren't available for the small number of recent Sylvan Pond sales. Because this is a compact neighborhood, those costs can vary by home, so confirm the exact dues and tax bill on any individual property before you commit.
