Columbia Elementary

It's a solid choice for buyers who want central Orlando access without paying downtown prices — you're about 33 minutes from Downtown Orlando and close to the theme parks. Families also weigh the area high schools, including Colonial High and Edgewater High, when they choose the zone. The low $70 median HOA and mix of price points add to the appeal.

It sits in the middle of the Orlando market, with a median list price of $525,000 and an average of $368 per square foot. That said, the range is wide — active listings start at $125,000 and climb to $4,000,000 — so there's genuinely something for most budgets. Only one active listing is priced above $1 million.

The median list price is $525,000 and the median home runs about 2,513 square feet. Over the last 12 months, 61 homes sold at a median price of $490,000, so buyers are generally paying close to but a touch under list. You can see every current option on the live map.

It's a small, patient market — just 13 active listings and a median 75 days on market, which gives buyers time to weigh their options. Sellers, though, are still capturing about 98% of their asking price on average, so well-priced homes don't linger. That balance rewards a prepared, decisive offer.

The median HOA fee is a modest $70 a month, and the median property tax bill runs about $3,896 a year. If you're considering renting instead, the median rent in the area is around $3,300 a month. Those numbers keep carrying costs reasonable relative to many gated Orlando communities.
