Forest Lake Elementary School

It's a solid fit for families who want quiet residential streets and access to schools like Deltona Middle School while keeping Orlando within a 37-minute drive. The community leans practical and residential rather than flashy, which is exactly why buyers looking for room and value gravitate here.

Not by Central Florida standards — the median list price is $339,900, and listings run from about $268,000 up to $1,099,000. There's just one home above the $1M mark, so the vast majority of inventory sits in attainable territory around the median.

Expect to pay around $223 per square foot, with a median home size of about 1,695 square feet. Over the past 12 months, 100 homes sold at a median price of $322,250, so recent sales line up closely with today's asking prices.

It's balanced and steady, with 23 active listings and a median of 49 days on market. Sellers are averaging 97% of their asking price, meaning well-priced homes move while buyers still have modest negotiating room.

The median HOA runs about $140 per month, though many homes here carry no association at all, and the median property tax is roughly $2,523 per year. For comparison, median rent in the area sits around $1,909 per month, which helps frame the buy-versus-rent math.
