Washington Shores sits just west of downtown, close enough that you can be in the center of Orlando in about seven minutes and at Universal in roughly fourteen. It's an established, walkable-scale neighborhood of smaller single-family homes, served by Washington Shores Elementary, Carver Middle, and Jones High. If you want proximity to the city core without the price tag of newer communities like Laureate Park or Hunters Creek, this is a rare pocket that still makes sense.
The market here is tight and moves quickly. With just 6 active listings and a median list price of $252,000, buyers are working from a small pool, and homes are going under contract in about a week. Over the past year 14 homes sold at a median of $198,000, with sellers netting around 92% of asking — so there's still room to negotiate, but you'll want to be ready to act when the right house lists.
Washington Shores is a community in Orlando, Florida.
