Monterey sits just minutes from the center of Orlando, which means the pull of downtown is real without asking you to live on top of it. It's a practical, everyday neighborhood — the kind of place where a nine-minute commute to downtown Orlando and quick runs to Universal or MCO shape how you spend your week. Nearby communities like Metro West and Laureate Park round out the west-side options, and the City Of Orlando/goaa area keeps the airport corridor within easy reach.
For buyers, Monterey is one of the more attainable close-in choices right now. With 14 active listings and a median list price of $360,000, there's room to negotiate — homes are taking a median 73.5 days to sell, and over the last year sellers landed about 98% of asking. If you've been priced out of pricier west-side pockets like Florida Center North, this is a corner worth a serious look.
Monterey is a community in Orlando, Florida.

Monterey FAQs
Is Monterey a good place to live?+
It works well for buyers who want to stay close to the action — downtown Orlando is about nine minutes away, and Universal and Orlando International Airport are each around 21 minutes. Homes are typically assigned to William R Boone High, Roberto Clemente Middle, and Dover Shores Elementary. It's an everyday west-side neighborhood, not a resort enclave, and that's part of the appeal.
Is Monterey expensive?+
Compared with pricier close-in Orlando pockets, no — the median list price is $360,000 and active listings currently top out at $500,000, with none in the $1M+ range. The median home sold for $317,000 over the last year, which keeps this among the more attainable options near downtown Orlando.
What do homes cost in Monterey?+
Active listings run from $200,000 to $500,000 with a median of $360,000, and the average price is about $253 per square foot. The median home is around 1,313 square feet, so you're generally looking at right-sized single-family and attached homes rather than sprawling estates.
How is the market in Monterey right now?+
There are 14 active listings and homes are taking a median 73.5 days to sell — a slower pace that favors buyers. Over the last 12 months 25 homes closed, with sellers getting about 98% of asking on average, so well-priced offers still get done.
What about HOA fees and property taxes?+
Median property tax runs about $4,632 a year, and there's no consistent HOA figure reported for the neighborhood — many homes here carry little or no association fee. If you're renting instead, the median rent is around $2,125 a month.
