Median days on market
Catalina sits on Orlando's east side, close enough that Downtown is about a 12-minute drive and the airport roughly 25. The streets lean quiet and residential, and with six of the nine current listings sitting on water, this is a pocket where a lakeside backyard is a realistic expectation rather than a splurge. If you want to stay in the area but compare notes, Hunters Creek and Eagle Creek are the natural reference points for buyers weighing their options.
The market here is small and steady rather than frantic. Nine homes are active with a median list price of $449,000, and over the past year 11 sales closed at a median of $484,000, with sellers collecting about 95% of asking. At a median 46 days on market, you have room to think — but well-priced waterfront in this corner of Orlando doesn't tend to linger. Shoppers who like the value-to-location math often also look at Metro West and Laureate Park.
Catalina is a community in Orlando, Florida.

Catalina FAQs
Is Catalina a good place to live?+
It's an east-side Orlando neighborhood built for people who want short commutes without downtown prices — about 12 minutes to the city center and 25 to the airport. The mix of waterfront lots and quiet residential streets suits buyers who want space and a view close to work. Assigned schools include Catalina Elementary, Memorial Middle, and Jones High.
Is Catalina expensive?+
It sits in the mid-market for Orlando, with a median list price of $449,000 and recent sales closing at a median of $484,000. Average price per square foot runs about $235 on a median home size near 1,838 square feet. Compared with newer east-side communities like Eagle Creek, it offers waterfront access at a more approachable entry point.
What do homes cost in Catalina?+
Active listings currently range from $364,900 to $600,000, with the median at $449,000. Over the past year, 11 homes sold at a median of $484,000, so there's room both below and above that number depending on water frontage and finishes.
How is the Catalina market right now?+
It's steady and small — nine homes are active and sellers are averaging 95% of asking, which points to realistic pricing rather than bidding wars. The median days on market is 46, giving buyers time to evaluate, though waterfront listings tend to move faster than that. You can track how it compares to the broader Orlando market as inventory shifts.
What are the HOA fees and property taxes like?+
HOA costs here are minimal, with a median of about $16 per month, and median property taxes land around $3,703 per year. That keeps the ongoing carrying cost low relative to many newer planned communities nearby. For renters or investors, the median rent is roughly $2,695 per month.
