The Hillcrest Elementary zone puts you about four minutes from downtown Orlando, which makes it a genuinely urban pocket by Central Florida standards — short commutes, walkable in stretches, and close to the energy of the city core. Homes here run smaller and older than the sprawling suburbs to the south, with a median size around 1,268 square feet, and the area feeds into a mix of high schools including Edgewater High and Colonial High. If you want to stay in the middle of everything without a long drive to work or the airport, this is one of the more central Orlando homes for sale you'll find.
For buyers, the market here is active but not frantic. There are 190 homes listed right now with a median list price of $422,400, and the range is enormous — from $128,900 all the way to nearly $3 million — so what you get depends heavily on the block. Homes are taking a median of 53 days to sell and sellers are pulling in about 97% of asking, so there's room to negotiate without expecting a fire sale.

Hillcrest Elementary FAQs
Is the Hillcrest Elementary area a good place to live?+
It's one of the most central places you can live in Orlando, with downtown about four minutes away and Universal roughly 17 minutes out. The zone feeds into schools like Colonial High, and the compact, close-in setting suits buyers who value short commutes over big yards. It's a genuinely urban trade-off rather than a suburban one.
Is it expensive to buy here?+
The median list price is $422,400, which sits in the middle for the Orlando area, but the range is dramatic — from $128,900 to nearly $3 million. There are 17 homes listed above $1 million alongside plenty of entry-level options, so budgets from modest to luxury can find something. At about $329 per square foot, you're paying for the central location more than the square footage.
What do homes cost in the Hillcrest Elementary zone?+
Over the past 12 months, 420 homes sold at a median price of $444,488, slightly above the current median list of $422,400. The typical home is around 1,268 square feet, reflecting the older in-town housing here. You can compare active listings across the zone on the live map.
How is the market right now?+
There are 190 active listings and homes are taking a median of 53 days to sell, so it's a measured pace rather than a bidding war. Sellers are getting about 97% of their asking price on average, which means there's modest negotiating room. With schools like Lake Nona High and others in the broader mix, demand stays steady across price points.
What about HOA fees and property taxes?+
The median HOA runs about $897 per month, which is on the higher side and reflects the number of gated and managed communities — 30 of the active listings are gated. Median property tax is around $5,038 per year. If you'd rather rent while you shop, the median rent in the area is about $2,605 per month.
