It's a strong fit if location drives your decision — you're about 15 minutes from MCO, 22 from Downtown Orlando, and 23 from Universal. The zone also sits near several well-known high schools including Edgewater High and Colonial High, giving families flexibility as kids get older.

Compared to much of Orlando, this zone reads affordable at the entry level, with a median list price of $144,700 and listings starting at $51,900. That said, full-size homes climb well past that — the range tops out at $575,000, and the median sold price over the past year was $347,500, so what you pay depends heavily on the property type.

Active listings currently span $51,900 to $575,000, with an average of about $222 per square foot and a median home size around 780 square feet, which points to a lot of smaller units in the mix. Over the last 12 months, 38 homes sold at a median price of $347,500 — a useful reminder that larger houses command far more than the median list suggests.

There are 36 active listings and homes are taking a median of about 50 days to sell, so it's a measured pace rather than a frenzy. Sellers have been getting roughly 97% of asking on average, meaning well-priced homes hold value while there's still room to negotiate. You can track new inventory on the live map.

The median HOA here runs about $301 per month, which reflects the condo and gated product in the area, and there are 3 gated communities among current listings. Median property tax is a modest $1,221 per year, and if you're weighing renting versus buying, the median rent is around $1,550 per month.
