The Willows is a small pocket of Orange County that sits close enough to the action to matter — Downtown Orlando is roughly 17 minutes away, Universal about 26, and MCO around 37. Homes here run compact, with a median size near 872 square feet, which makes it a practical entry point for buyers who want an Orlando address without the sprawl. It's the kind of place that pairs well with the wider slate of Orlando homes for sale and neighboring communities like Metro West and Hunters Creek.
The market reality is tight and specific: there's just one active listing right now at $169,900, so inventory moves slowly and choices are limited. Over the past 12 months eight homes sold at a median of $232,500, with sellers collecting about 99% of asking — evidence that priced-right homes do trade even when days on market stretch long. If you're comparing options, it's worth also watching planned communities like Laureate Park and Eagle Creek to understand the full price spread across the metro.
The Willows is a community in Orlando, Florida.

The Willows FAQs
Is The Willows a good place to live?+
It works well for buyers who want an Orlando location with short commutes — Downtown Orlando is about 17 minutes and Universal roughly 26. The homes are compact, so it suits singles, couples, or investors more than large households. Assigned schools include Rolling Hills Elementary, Meadowbrook Middle, and Maynard Evans High.
Is The Willows expensive?+
No — it's one of the more attainable pockets in the area, with the current active listing at $169,900 and a median sold price of $232,500 over the past year. That's well below much of the Orlando market, in part because of the compact home sizes. Compared to newer communities like Laureate Park, it's a lower-cost entry point.
What do homes cost in The Willows?+
Pricing centers on the low $200s, with a median sold price of $232,500 and an average of about $195 per square foot. The lone active listing is priced at $169,900, and the median home size runs near 872 square feet. Inventory is thin, so expect limited choices at any given time.
How is the market in The Willows?+
It's a low-volume, slow-turning market — eight homes sold in the last 12 months and the median days on market is around 329. Even so, sellers averaged about 99% of asking, so well-priced homes still close. With just one active listing, buyers should be ready to move when the right home appears.
What about HOA fees and property taxes?+
The median HOA here is about $126 per month, and the median property tax is roughly $1,760 per year. Those are modest carrying costs relative to much of the Orlando market. For renters or investors, the median rent runs about $1,523 a month.
