John Young Elementary

It's a practical, well-connected part of Orlando with quick access to major employers and attractions — about 19 minutes to the airport and 26 to downtown. The zone feeds into recognized high schools including Edgewater High, and it suits buyers who want central convenience without a resort-community price tag.

It's mid-market for Orlando, with a median list price of $407,000 and homes available from $325,000 up to $589,000. At an average of $237 per square foot on a typical 1,771-square-foot home, it's more attainable than many of the area's higher-end zones.

There are 29 active listings with a $407,000 median, and over the past year 79 homes sold at a $405,000 median sold price. That close alignment between list and sold prices shows sellers are pricing realistically, and you can compare current options on the live map.

It's steady and balanced — homes are taking a median of 43 days to sell and closing at about 98% of asking price. That gives buyers room to negotiate without the pressure of a runaway seller's market, and it pairs well with families eyeing schools like Colonial High.

HOA costs are low here, with a median of just $29 a month, so most homes carry minimal association fees. Property taxes run around $4,892 a year at current values, and if you're weighing renting versus buying, the median rent sits at $2,800 a month.
