The Howard Middle attendance zone sits right in the pulse of central Orlando, where downtown is barely four minutes away and the neighborhoods trade suburban sprawl for walkable, established streets. It's a place that appeals to buyers who want to be near everything — Universal is about 20 minutes out, MCO airport roughly 24, and Disney a manageable 40-minute drive. The area draws from a mix of nearby high schools including Edgewater High and Colonial High, giving families options as kids grow into their teens.
For buyers, the market here is active but not overheated: there are 248 active listings right now, with a median list price of $419,450 spanning everything from $125,000 condos to nearly $2.8M estates.
