Skycrests FAQs
Is Skycrests a good place to live?+
It works well for buyers who want to be close to the center of Orlando — downtown is about nine minutes out, MCO 21, and Walt Disney World roughly 32. The neighborhood is small and quiet, and it's zoned for William R Boone High and Pershing School.
Is Skycrests expensive?+
Prices here run higher than many surrounding pockets — the single active listing is priced at $874,900, though the median sold price over the past year was $510,000. That gap reflects how few homes trade here, so pricing swings with whatever happens to be on the market.
What do homes cost in Skycrests?+
The current active listing is asking $874,900 at about $379 per square foot for a home near the 2,307-sqft median. Over the last 12 months, nine homes sold at a median of $510,000, so recent closings ran well below today's lone listing.
How is the Skycrests market right now?+
It's a thin, slow-moving market with just one home active and a median of 82 days on market. Sellers have held their ground — closings over the past year averaged about 97% of asking — so serious buyers should expect firm pricing when something does list. Nearby Metro West offers more inventory if timing matters.
What about HOA fees and property taxes?+
HOA costs here are minimal, with a median around $13 per month. Property taxes run about $5,674 per year at recent values, which is typical for Orange County homes in this price range.
